Wer datete Francisco Solano López?

Francisco Solano López Carrillo (* 24. Juli 1827 nahe Asunción, Paraguay; † 1. März 1870 in der Schlacht von Cerro Corá, Paraguay) war von 1862 bis zu seinem Tode 1870 der Präsident Paraguays. Er war der älteste Sohn des Präsidenten Carlos Antonio López und wurde dessen Nachfolger. Er führte und verlor den Tripel-Allianz-Krieg Paraguays gegen Brasilien, Argentinien und Uruguay.

Eliza Alice Lynch (Charleville, County Cork, Ireland, 19 November 1833 – Paris, France, 25 July 1886) was the Irish mistress-wife of Francisco Solano López, president of Paraguay.

Slandered as the most vilified woman in Latin American history, she was dubbed as "an ambitious courtesan" who seduced the heir apparent of the Government of Paraguay, Francisco Solano López, turning him into "a bloodthirsty dictator." However, all those accusations were part of the propaganda-warfare by the allies during the Paraguayan War, and are now disproven.

Nowadays, she is considered as a "National Heroine" of Paraguay.
