The Paraguayan Civil War was a civil war fought in Paraguay from 15 July 1911 to 11 May 1912. It started when members of the Liberal Party , led by Eduardo Schaerer and former president Manuel Gondra revolted against the rule of Liberato Marcial Rojas , and against major Albino Jara . It ended when Albino Jara was ambushed and killed near Paraguari , allowing Eduardo Schaerer to assume the role of the 25th President of Paraguay. ^[1]

Meredith Reid Sarkees and Frank Whelon Wayman maintain that the 1911 Paraguayan Civil War was symptomatic of a decades-long period of instability in Paraguay following the Paraguayan War . ^[1]
