Ibáñez del Campo, Carlos
Born Nov. 3, 1877, in Linares; died Apr. 28, 1960, in Santiago. Chilean statesman and military figure. Ibáñez del Campo held a number of ministerial posts from 1925 to 1927 and was president from 1927 to 1931. His regime favored the interests of the oligarchy and US imperialism. Overthrown by a popular uprising in July 1931, he lived abroad, primarily in Argentina, until 1937. Upon his return to Chile, he was nominated for the presidency in 1938. How-ever, he was soon accused of participation in a fascist putsch. He was convicted in September 1938 but was pardoned shortly afterward. Ibanez participated in a military revolt against the government of the Popular Front in August 1939. He became a senator in 1949 and served as president from 1952 to 1958, carrying out a reactionary policy. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
