El Stronato is the 35-year period in the history of Paraguay when the nation was ruled by Alfredo Stroessner. ==Historical context == In the aftermath of the Second World War, Juan Natalicio González was elected President of Paraguay, but his government was soon fell, and Federico Chávez was elected in his place. Three weeks after taking office, Chávez imposed a state of siege, using his emergency powers to attack the supporters of González and of ex-President Felipe Molas López despite claiming to be a democratic leader.〔Richard S. Sacks. "The Stronato". In Hanratty, Dannin M. & Sandra W. Meditz. (''Paraguay: a country study'' ). Library of Congress Federal Research Division (December 1988). 〕 The growing economic problems of 2 decades of extreme political and social unrest had undermined and shattered Paraguay's economy.〔 The national and per capita income had fallen sharply. The Central Bank's bad practice of handing out soft loans to the regime's cronies was spurring the rise in inflation and an also a growing black market. Finally, Argentina's economic woes were also making themselves felt in Paraguay.〔 By 1953, the 73-year-old president's political support had begun to erode markedly.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「El Stronato」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
