Background[]
The original inhabitants of Paraguay were fierce warrior tribal peoples. The first European explorers arrived in Paraguay in the 16th century. Juan de Salazar, a Spanish explorer, established the city of Asuncion in 1537. Asuncion would become the center of the Spanish colony.
In 1811 Paraguay declared independence and expelled the local Spanish government. Three powerful men ruled the land over the next 80 years: the first was Jose de Francia, next was Carlos Lopez, and finally Carlos' son Francisco Lopez. In 1864, during the rule of Francisco Lopez, Paraguay fought the War of the Triple Alliance against Argentina, 
Uruguay, and Brazil. Paraguay lost the war and lost two thirds of its adult male population as well as much of its land.
The mid-1900s were a period of unrest and civil war. Alfredo Stroessner became dictator in 1954 and ruled for 35 years. During this time, freedoms were severely limited in Paraguay. Since his death, elections have been relatively free.
