BALMACEDA, JOSE MANUEL (18381891)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 283 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALMACEDA, JOSE MANUEL (18381891) , president of the republic of Chile, was born in Santiago in 1838. His parents were wealthy, and in his early days he was chiefly concerned inindustrial and agricultural enterprise. In 1865 he wag one of the representatives of the Chilean government at the general
South
  American congress at
Lima
 , and after his return obtained
great
  distinction as an orator in the national assembly. After discharging some diplomatic missions abroad, he became successively minister of foreign affairs and of the interior under the
presidency
  of Senor Santa Maria, and in the latter capacity carried compulsory civil
marriage
  and several other
laws
  highly obnoxious to the clergy. In 1886 he was elected president; but, in spite of his
great
  capacity, his imperious temper little fitted him for the post. He was soon irreconcilably at variance with the
majority
  of the national representatives, and on the 1st of January 1891 he sought to terminate an intolerable situation by refusing to convoke the assembly and ordering the continued collection of the taxes on his own authority. This led to the Chilean Civil War of 1891, which ended in the overthrow of Balmaceda, who committed suicide on the 18th of September, the anniversary of his
elevation
  to the
presidency
 .
