Paraguay Civil War Ends With Colorado Party Victory
The Democratic wing led by Federico Chavez opposed Morinigo who was elected in 1943. In 1947 the Febrerista Party withdrew from the coalition, sparking a March revolt that became a five month civil war. Liberal Febrerista Communist forces were defeated and Morinigo fell, leaving the Colorado Party in sole power. El Norte Formosa cited radio reports that Frutos took the presidency after Morinigo's overthrow. Paraguay's national park system covers over 21.5 million acres.
