biography

Carlos Ezeta attended the Escuela Politécnica as a cadet from 1867 and became a second lieutenant in 1871 . He was wounded in clashes with Honduras in 1872 and 1873 . After traveling to Costa Rica, the USA and Guatemala, he returned to El Salvador in 1885. During the reign of Francisco Menéndez Valdivieso , in 1889 as commanding general, he stifled the rebellion of the dispossessed ejido . His last post before he was promoted to president was Inspector General of the Salvadoran Army .

In 1890 Carlos Ezeta overthrew President Francisco Menéndez and besieged the city of Santa Ana. Formally, he was provisional president in the first year. He founded the military hospital in San Salvador, opened a school for non-commissioned officers Escuela de Suboficiales and employed a German military mission to reorganize and train the artillery units. During his tenure, El Salvador waged war against Guatemala, in which El Salvador was victorious and which was ended with a peace treaty in August 1890. On August 28, 1892, the Casa de la Moneda was opened, which on October 1, 1892, issued the temporary currency of El Salvador, the El-Salvador-Colón . The initial exchange rate was two colones per United States dollar . Carlos and his brother General Antonio Ezeta, the Vice President, were overthrown by the "Revolución de los 44". These 44 are powerful landowners, the origins of the proverbial 14 families, corresponding to the 14 departments of El Salvador, in which all land ownership and all power is concentrated, that agujero de oro , the golden hole into which all money rolls. Some of these 44 had just returned from exile in Guatemala, they gathered on the night of April 29, 1894 and surprisingly attacked the barracks at Santa Ana and demanded that the troops be surrendered . He went into exile in Mazatlán México.
