Rivera, José Fructuoso
Uruguayan general and politician, president 1830–34, 1839–43. Rivera fought under José Artigas and submitted to Brazilian occupation before rejoining the revolution in 1825. When he became president his financial mismanagement and favouritism provoked open dissent.
He led a revolt 1836 against his successor Manuel Oribe (1792–1857), during which he became the focus of the Colorado Party. During his second term in office he declared war on Argentina.
