Manuel Pavía
Manuel Pavía y Rodríguez de Alburquerque (born August 2, 1827 in Cádiz , † January 4, 1895 in Madrid ) was a Spanish general whose coup ended the First Spanish Republic .
Life
He took part in the "Putsch of Villarejo" in 1866 under the command of Juan Prim and went into exile for two years after its failure. He returned to Spain after the revolution of 1868 that cost Isabella II her throne. After King Amadeus ' abdication and the proclamation of the First Republic, he fought against the Carlist in Navarre and the Cantonalists in Andalusia as an opponent of every form of separatism .
Under the presidency of Emilio Castelar , he was appointed captain general of the New Castile region (and thus also of Madrid). When Emilio Castelar put the vote of confidence on January 3, 1874 and lost, Pavía dissolved the Cortes out of fear that radical republicans might take over power , thus ending the First Spanish Republic.
After this coup, Pavía assembled all political parties except for the Cantonalists and Carlist and formed a government of the national assembly, which transferred government power to General Francisco Serrano Domínguez . This ruled the First Spanish Republic dictatorially until its official dissolution.
Pavía was Captain General of Catalonia between 1880 and 1881 and again of New Castile between 1885 and 1886, where he put down the Villacampa uprising.
