Antonio María Segovia

Antonio María Segovia Izquierdo (June 29, 1808 – January 14, 1874) known by his journalistic pseudonyms El Estudiante and El Cócora, was a Spanish journalist, politician and writer. As the Spanish diplomat to the Dominican Republic, his activities intertwined with the competing nations of France, Great Britain, and the United States, all of which stoked interest in annexing the Caribbean nation, which during that time was in its own struggle for independence.
