Federico Tinoco Granados
Federico Tinoco Granados was a Costa Rican army officer and war minister who overthrew President Alfredo González Flores in January 1917 and ruled as a dictator. The United States under Woodrow Wilson refused to recognise his government, and growing unrest and an invasion by exiles forced him to resign in August 1919. He died in exile in Paris.
