Comment

Marshal José Félix Estigarribia Insaurralde (February 21, 1888 – September 7, 1940) was a decorated Paraguayan war hero and an elected President of Paraguay for the Liberal party, who following his election, repositioned himself to become dictator. He died in a presumed accidental airplane crash barely a year after his election.

The Acaray Dam is a hydroelectric dam situated in Hernandarias, Paraguay. It has an electrical output of 210 megawatts (280,000 hp), supplying 3% of Paraguay's electricity demand.

Interesting fact

The 50 Guaraníes coin from Paraguay was designed by the country's central bank, the Banco Central del Paraguay, and features an image of the country's national hero, Marshal Francisco Solano López, on its obverse side.
