Bartolomé Mitre Martínez (1821–1906) was an Argentine statesman, military figure, and author who served as the President of a unified Argentina from 1862 to 1868. After an itinerant youth spent living in Uruguay, Peru and Chile, Mitre joined the forces defeated Juan Manuel de Rosas. Upon arriving in Buenos Aires in 1852, he switched allegiances and became a staunch unitario. As president, he committed Argentina to the Guerra de la Triple Alianza (War of the Triple Alliance, of Paraguayan War). After his presidency, Mitre wrote historical biographies of key figures from the wars for independence and translated that literary success into the foundation of La Nación, which would become one of South America's leading newspapers, in 1870.
