Antonio de Ulloa
![Posthumous portrait by [[Andrés Cortés]] (1856)](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Almirante_Antonio_de_Ulloa.jpg)
Ulloa served the Spanish Crown as governor of Huancavelica (1758–64), in Perú, and superintendent of the quicksilver mines in the region. Following the defeat of France in the Seven Years' War, Ulloa was appointed as the first Spanish governor of Louisiana in 1766. His rule was strongly resisted by the French Creole colonists in New Orleans, who expelled him from the city in the Louisiana Rebellion of 1768. Ulloa continued to serve in the Spanish Navy, achieving the rank of vice-admiral and becoming its chief of operations. Provided by Wikipedia
