Over the course of the 20th century, the Paraguayan state had mainly been controlled by its two traditional parties: the Colorado party, as the National Republican Association (ANR) is popularly known, and the Liberal party, currently known as the Authentic Radical Liberal Party (PLRA). Despite the two-party system, the nature of its political regimes has varied greatly. This chapter covers Paraguayan history between 1954 and the present day. During the first 8 years of this period, 1940–1948, Paraguay was ruled by dictator Higinio Morínigo; and from 1948 until 2008, the Colorado party ran the government, a period that included the Stroessner dictatorship. In 2013 and 2018, this party won the elections again. In other words, in over 70 years, the only Paraguayan president who was not a member of the ANR ruled for just a single term, from 2008 to 2012
