Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, nicknamed "El Jefe" (translated as "The Chief" or "The Boss") (October 24, 1891 – May 30, 1961) ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 until his assassination in 1961. He officially served as president from 1930 to 1938 and again from 1942 to 1952, ruling for the rest of his tenure in office as an unelected military strongman. His tyranny, historically known as "La Era de Trujillo" ("The Trujillo Era"), is considered one of the bloodiest of the 20th century, as well as a time of a classic personality cult, when monuments to Trujillo were in abundance.
