Alfredo Stroessner gained power in Paraguay through a military coup on May 4, 1954, which overthrew the democratically elected government of President Federico Chávez. He quickly established a Dictatorship, consolidating power through repressive measures, political persecution, and the support of the military. Stroessner's regime was characterized by its anti-communist stance, which garnered backing from the United States during the Cold War. He ruled until his ousting in 1989, making him one of Latin America's longest-serving dictators.

Paraguay generates most of its power from hydroelectric sources, with the Itaipu Dam being the largest contributor. This dam, located on the Paraná River between Paraguay and Brazil, is one of the world's largest hydroelectric plants. As a result, Paraguay produces more electricity than it consumes, often exporting surplus power to neighboring countries. The reliance on hydroelectricity makes the country’s energy supply largely renewable and sustainable.
