Eloy Alfaro (Wikipedia)
Wikipedia, accessed 2026
A reference encyclopedia biography of Eloy Alfaro, president of Ecuador 1895 to 1901 and 1906 to 1911, covering the anticlerical program of his Liberal Revolution: the seizure of church property, the expulsion of religious orders, the prohibition on new monasteries and convents, the legalization of civil marriage and divorce, the establishment of free secular education, the opposition of Archbishop of Quito Federico Gonzalez Suarez, and Alfaro's own death on 28 January 1912, when a mob broke into the prison holding him after a failed political comeback, killed him and burned his corpse. Corroborated against the companion Wikipedia article on Ecuador's Liberal Era for the 1904 Ley de Cultos and 1906 constitutional dates.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierReference-encyclopedia tier 3, used for a biography's well attested public acts and dates rather than for any disputed reading of Alfaro's legacy; the property seizure and expulsion facts are corroborated against a second independent web source on the 1908 Ley de Manos Muertas.
