[edit] Background

Serrato was a prominent member of the Uruguayan Colorado Party which had long dominated the politics of the country. He was broadly identified with the policies of José Batlle y Ordóñez, but was regarded as not being strongly ideological, and thus able to work with others in the party with more polarized standpoints ^[1].

[edit] President of Uruguay

Serrato served as President of Uruguay from 1923-1927 ^[2], succeeding Baltasar Brum in that office.

He himself was succeeded by Juan Campisteguy.

[edit] Post Presidency

Serrato later served as Uruguayan Foreign Minister.

He died in 1960, nearly 40 years after assuming the Presidency.
