Show Signed Mother's Death Warrant Few tyrants have equaled Francisco Fran-cisco Lopez, the president of Paraguay Para-guay who waged war on his three peaceful neighbors Brazil, Uruguay Uru-guay and Argentina between 1864 and 1870, reports Collier's. During this period, the 300,000 men of his country were reduced to 28,000, a tragedy from which Paraguay still suffers. Lopez also flogged his sisters, sis-ters, murdered his brothers and, an hour before he was killed, signed the death warrant of his mother. |
