Mexico. President (1858-1872 : Juárez)
Biographical notes:
Benito Juárez (born Benito Pablo Juárez García) was a Mexican lawyer and politician of Zapotec originally from Oaxaca who served five terms as president of Mexico (1858-1872). He was the first Mexican leader who did not have a military background, the first full-blooded indigenous national ever to serve as President of Mexico and to lead a country in the Western Hemisphere. He resisted the French occupation, overthrew the Empire, restored the Republic, and used liberal efforts to modernize the country.
Antonio Ochoa was governor of Chihuahua, Mexico from 1873-1877.
