About Manuel Montt

Manuel Francisco Antonio Julián Montt Torres was a Chilean statesman and scholar who was twice elected President of Chile between 1851 and 1861. He was the first civilian to serve a full term as President of Chile. Manuel Montt, as Chile's first civilian president, furthered the reforms begun by Diego Portales. In 1851 Montt won the Chilean presidency, but the liberals regarded his election as fraudulent and instigated an armed revolt, the Revolution of 1851, which was quickly subdued. On giving up the presidency in 1861, Montt became President of the Supreme Court of Chile, a position which he held up to his death in September 1880.
