Juan José Alvarado
Juan José Alvarado (* 1798 in Ciudad de la Esperanza, Intibucá Department ; † 1857 in Gracias, Lempira Department ) was Supremo Director of Honduras from April 15, 1839 to April 27, 1839 .
He lived in Gracias a Díos in the Lempira department, where he worked as a surveyor. There he also became judge of the first instance and Jefe Político von Gracias.
He was a member of the Constituent Assembly and was elected President of this Parliament. On October 26, 1838, under the provincial government of José María Martinez Salinas, the province of Honduras declared itself a separate state. Francisco Ferrera participated in the dispute with the federal government under José Francisco Morazán Quezada to which the separation of Honduras led. On April 5, 1839, his troops and those of Nicaragua were defeated by the forces of Morazán at the Battle of Espíritu Santo in El Salvador. On September 25, 1839, the troops of Honduras were surprised in San Pedro Perulapán and Francisco Ferrera injured, whereupon he fled to Nicaragua .
The political and military pressure exerted by Morazán during his presidency contributed to the state of health that Alvarado cited as the reason for his resignation.
