Céspedes, Carlos Manuel de

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Céspedes, Carlos Manuel de (1871–1939)

Cuban revolutionary and politician, president in 1933. He participated in the revolution of 1895 and the Spanish–American War of 1898. Céspedes became provisional president in August 1933, following the overthrow of Gerardo Machado after a coup directed by Fulgencio Batista. However, he was forced to resign after a further coup in September 1933 by Batista and a student junta, which installed Ramón Grau San Martín in his stead.

Born in New York City, he was the son of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes (1819–1874), a prosperous Cuban plantation owner who led a rebellion against Spanish rule from 1868 and was president of the Cuban ‘Republic in Arms’ from 1869 to 1873.
