Quick Summary

Santiago Derqui was a significant figure in Argentine history, serving as president from 1860 to 1861. His presidency occurred during a turbulent period of national consolidation following the adoption of the 1853 constitution.1

Derqui succeeded Justo José de Urquiza as president. However, his term was marked by renewed civil conflict, with Buenos Aires ultimately defeating Urquiza's forces. This led to Derqui's resignation and the eventual election of Bartolomé Mitre as president in 1862, with Buenos Aires becoming the seat of government.12
