Quick Summary

Federico Tinoco Granados was a general who led a coup in Costa Rica in 1917, interrupting the country's democratic progress. He served as president but was known for his despotic behavior. His administration faced opposition from the U.S. government, which refused to recognize his regime. Due to internal revolts and the threat of U.S. intervention, Tinoco resigned in 1919, ending his brief period of dictatorship. This interruption was not repeated, and Costa Rica continued its democratic traditions.12
