The 1919 Peruvian coup d'état took place on July 4, 1919, headed by former president and president-elect Augusto B. Leguía, with the support of the gendarmerie forces of Lima, against the outgoing government of José Pardo y Barreda. The result of the coup was successful for Leguía, who began the political process known as the New Motherland, through which he sought to modernise the country through a change in relations between the state and civil society, and which led to an eleven-year dictatorship. This new government ended abruptly due to another coup d'état in 1930, led by Commander Luis Miguel Sánchez Cerro.
