Miguel Primo de Rivera

born Jan. 8, 1870, Cádiz, Spain died March 16, 1930, Paris, France Spanish general and dictator of Spain (1923-30). A military officer from 1888, he served as military governor of Cádiz (1915-19), Valencia (1919-22), and Barcelona (1922-23), where he firmly suppressed disorder. Believing the parliamentary system to be corrupt, he took power in a coup in 1923, dissolved the Cortes (parliament), and suspended constitutional guarantees. He successfully ended the Moroccan War (1927), settled labour disputes, and undertook public works, but he failed to implement agrarian reforms. Increasing discontent with his repressive government and lack of support from the army forced him to resign in 1930. José Antonio Primo de Rivera was his son
