Government Junta of Chile (1925)

On January 23, 1925, a military movement of young officers, wrestled power from the previous September Junta.

The fears seemed confirmed when Ladislao Errazuriz, head of the conservative party, suddenly presented his candidacy to the upcoming presidential elections.

So, on January 23, 1925 they launched the Chilean coup of 1925: army troops surrounded the La Moneda Palace and arrested General Luis Altamirano and the rest of the Junta members.

As soon as the Junta took power, they recalled President Arturo Alessandri back to Chile, from his exile in Italy.

President Alessandri returned and resumed power on March 20, 1925, putting an end to the Junta.
