Gerardo Machado y Morales (28 September 1869 – 29 March 1939) was a general of the Cuban War of Independence and President of Cuba from 1925 to 1933.
Machado was elected president in 1924 as the leader of the Liberal Party, a moderate reform-oriented party.[1] He entered the presidency with widespread popularity and support from the major political parties. However, his support declined over time and Machado took dictatorial powers.[2][3][4][5] Despite promising to govern only for one term, he ran for re-election in 1928 and won a non-democratic election where the opposition was repressed.[6] As protests and rebellions became more strident, his administration curtailed free speech and imprisoned, exiled, and murdered Machado's opponents.[4]
Ultimately, in 1933, Machado was forced to step down in favor of a provisional government headed by Carlos Manuel de Céspedes y Quesada and brokered by US ambassador Sumner Welles. Machado went into exile in Miami Beach, Florida.[6]
