Sánchez Cerro took part in the military coup that overthrew Guillermo Billinghurst in 1914 and later organized the coup against Augusto B. Leguía . After his uprising, which was part of an uprising that spread across the country, he was proclaimed provisional president by the insurgents in 1930.

Due to armed conflicts with other putschists, Sánchez Cerro had to give up the provisional presidency in 1931, with the presidency changing three times in a few days and finally falling to David Samanez Ocampo y Sobrino . He announced presidential elections, which Sánchez Cerro won with a narrow absolute majority and under controversial circumstances, whereupon he returned to the presidency in the same year.

During his reign he fought bitterly the left-wing populist APRA , which he had banned. During an APRA uprising in Trujillo , he had bombers used, killing 1,000 APRA militants. He tried to secure his power base through social reforms. Sánchez Cerro was murdered by an APRA militant during his presidency in 1933.
