1864 CE to 1875 CE

The highly anticlerical Ecuadorian Liberals are, of course, livid.

Former president José María Urvina organizes an invasion in 1864, which is defeated with the help, once again, of General Juan José Flores.

García Moreno is ruthless in his repression of the captured rebels, as he is commonly with less formidable opponents as well.

Nor does he hesitate to manipulate the presidential succession.

Finding his hand-picked successor deficient after two years in office, in 1867 García Moreno presides over the installation of a second puppet, whom he also overthrows in 1869, when it appears that the Liberals might win scheduled elections.

In 1869 García Moreno also formally establishes the Conservative Party (Partido Conservador—PC).
