Feliciano Viera

Feliciano Alberto Viera Borges (8 November 1872 – 13 November 1927)[1] was a Uruguayan political figure.

Feliciano Viera.

Background

He was a member of the Colorado Party and closely identified with the liberal former President José Batlle y Ordóñez, who long dominated Uruguayan political life. Prior to becoming President, Viera served Batlle's second government as Interior Minister. He served as the President of the Senate of Uruguay from 1907 to 1912.[2]

President of Uruguay

He was President of Uruguay from 1915 to 1919. Among prominent figures who served in his Administration was Baltasar Brum, who occupied the Interior and subsequently the Foreign Affairs ministry.

Uruguay was more closely identified with the Allied cause in World War I than was neighbouring Argentina, cutting diplomatic relations with the German Empire in late 1917 . On September 8, 1917, Viera received the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor of France.

Post Presidency

In 1919 Viera relinquished the Presidency and was succeeded by Baltasar Brum. He then became Chairman of the National Council of Administration (Prime Minister), holding the post until 1921.

He died on 13 November 1927, aged 55.

gollark: If you don't trust your compute nodes, you basically can't do anything.
gollark: > The Internet Computer is a decentralized cloud computing platform that will host secure software and a new breed of open internet services. It uses a strong cryptographic consensus protocol to safely replicate computations over a peer-to-peer network of (potentially untrusted) compute nodes, possibly overlayed with many virtual subnetworks (sometimes called shards). Wasm’s advantageous properties made it an obvious choice for representing programs running on this platform. We also liked the idea of not limiting developers to just one dedicated platform language, but making it potentially open to “all of ’em.”How is *that* meant to work?
gollark: ... "internet computer"? Oh bees.
