Colombia began as a military dictatorship on June 13th, 1953, when Colombian general Gustavo Rojas Pinilla started a coup against the unpopular conservative president of the time, Laureano Gomez, and seized power, ruling as a military dictator until he was overthrown by a military junta.[5]
Rojas Pinilla ruled the country during a time of political and economic crisis during La Violencia and had a very dictatorial style of ruling. Early on, Pinilla was very popular with Colombians due to his initial actions, such as granting amnesty to Communist and Liberal guerillas. However, during later years of ruling, Pinilla became unpopular due to actions such not allowing free elections thus leading to his overthrowing by a three-man military junta that convinced Gustavo Rojas Pinilla to step down from power early in the morning of May 10th, 1957.[4]
