Antonio Rodolfo Quinn Oaxaca (April 21, 1915 - June 3, 2001), often times simply referred to as "El Jefe" was the President of Mexico from 1969 until his death in 2001. Criticized by many as a ruthless dictator, Oaxaca authorized the executions of over 100,000 "criminals" and political rivals throughout his time as president and exiled thousands more; however, it was in large part due to El Jefe's numerous government and economic reforms that Mexico was able to re-establish itself as a world power militarily, economically, and arguably socially in the latter part of the 20th century.
