Manuel Dorrego (1787–1828) was an Argentine military leader, statesman, and prominent Federalist. Born in Buenos Aires, he fought in key battles during Argentina's independence struggle and later became a vocal advocate for federalism, opposing centralist policies. Twice serving as governor of Buenos Aires (1820 and 1827–1828), he ended the Argentine-Brazilian War by accepting Uruguay's independence, a decision that fueled political tensions.
In December 1828, Dorrego was overthrown in a coup led by Unitarian General Juan Lavalle. Captured after attempting to organize resistance, he was executed by firing squad, becoming a martyr for the Federalist cause. His death intensified Argentina's civil conflicts between Federalists and Unitarians.
