Profile

Bernardino Caballero de Añazco Melgarejo y Genes was a Paraguayan military officer and politician. He was a General during the Paraguayan War. He was installed as President of Paraguay after an 1880 coup, serving from September 1880 to November 1886. He was term limited from serving another consecutive term, so he guaranteed that he would be succeeded by his close friend Patricio Escobar.
