The Revolution of 1897 was an uprising led by the army of the Uruguayan National Party against the government of President Juan Idiarte Borda. [1] It took place in Uruguayan territory between March 5 and September 18, 1897. [2]

History

The revolutionary movement was led by the Caudillo Aparicio Saravia, and the General Diego Lamas, who arrived at the Banda Oriental from Buenos Aires, together with the so-called "22 de Lamas", among which was Lieutenant Colonel Isabelino Canaveris. [3] On March 17, 1897, took place the Battle of the Tres Arboles (department Río Negro), where the forces of General Diego Lamas defeated the army of Colonel José Villar. [4]

One of the causes of the conflict was electoral fraud denounced by leaders of the National Party, who demanded greater transparency in the elections. After several months of conflict, a peace agreement was signed on September 18, 1897. [5]
