Juan Antonio Ríos
Juan Antonio Ríos Morales (November 10th 1888 - June 27th 1946) was president of Chile of 1942 to 1946. Member of the Radical party, it beat the general Carlos Ibáñez del Campo at the time of the presidential election of 1942, after the death of the president Pedro Aguirre Cerda.
Its government was first of all committed remaining neutral during the Second world war, but the economic pressures and diplomatic finally led it to break the relationships to the powers of the Axe. By doing this, it made it possible Chile to be eligible with the program lease-lend set up by the the United States, and secured loans which contributed to the economic recovery of the country. The close relationships with the United States did not represent of it less one serious problem for him: shortly after the end of the war, in October 1945, its cabinet resigned after a visit of State to Washington.
On the economic plan, it had to face the increase in unemployment and with the fall of the wages caused by the fall of world rates of the Cuivre. Its health wavering, it had to give up the presidential load in January 1946 with the profit of its Minister of Interior Department, Alfredo Duhalde Vásquez. He died a few months later.
