Juan Crisóstomo Falcón emigrates to Europe at the end of his presidential term in 1868, when a conservative revolution headed by General José Tadeo Monagas ends his term as president. (He will die in Martinique in 1870. The state of Falcón is named after him.)

A member of the liberal Venezuelan Federalist Party, Falcón had first served as president of Venezuela as the supreme chief of a rebel movement in August 1859, but the rebellion had soon been crushed.

He has served as the recognized president of Venezuela from 1863 to 1868.

Also, he had briefly been overthrown in 1865.
