Regla Mota's rule in the Dominican Republic …
Years: 1852 - 1863
Regla Mota's rule in the Dominican Republic lasts almost five months.
An empty treasury forces the new president to discharge most of the army.
Thus deprived of the Dominican rulers' traditional source of power, his government all but invites the return of Buenaventura Báez.
With the support of the Spanish, Báez is named vice president by Regla Mota, who now resigns in Báez's favor.
Not a forgiving man by nature, Baez loses little time in denouncing ex-president Santana and expelling him from the country.
Once again, Baez purges santanistas from the government and replaces them with his own men.
