Chilean Civil War
The Chilean Civil War was an armed conflict between forces supporting congress and forces supporting the then president, José Manuel Balmaceda . This conflict ended with the defeat of the president's forces. The president committed suicide as a consequence.
This defeat of the president started a "pseudo-parliamentary" period of Chile's history, which lasted from 1891 to 1925. During this period, the president was effectively controlled by congress.
