Quick Summary

Mariano Ignacio Prado was a Peruvian politician and military officer who served as president of Peru. He was president twice, first from 1865 to 1868 and again from 1876 to 1879. His first presidency was marked by the War of the Pacific against Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina. During this conflict, Prado led Peruvian forces, but the war ultimately resulted in a significant loss for Peru, including the loss of territory and resources.12

Prado's second term as president was also during a period of political instability and economic challenges in Peru. He was succeeded by Nicolás de Piérola in 1879. The Civilista movement, which opposed military control of the government, emerged during this era, with Manuel Pardo, who also served as president, being a key figure.2
