José María Linares
José María Linares Lizarazu (born July 10, 1808 in Ticala , † October 23, 1861 in Valparaíso in Chile ) was a Bolivian president.
Life
José María Linares was part of the opposition that cracked down on President Manuel Isidoro Belzú . This curtailed the rights of the large landowners and supported the locals. In 1855 he retired to Europe. His son-in-law Jorge Córdova was his successor for a short time, because Linares took over the power of the president on September 9, 1857 after a coup d'état. He advocated unrestricted economic liberalism, reversed many of Belzú's regulations, in particular increased trade with Great Britain and Chile and encouraged the exploitation of the country by mines. Inventions and discoveries such as steam power ensured rapid development here. Agriculture, however, made no progress under Linares. While Linares was the first civilian president to find broad support, resistance arose when he became a dictator.
Linares ruled until January 14, 1861. José María de Achá took over the rule with the help of military force.
The province of José María Linares , in which he was born, was named after him.
