Quick Summary

Tiburcio CarĂ­as Andino was the president of Honduras from 1933 to 1949. He was a leader of the National Party and was elected president following political unrest and economic decline caused by the Great Depression. Despite his election, CarĂ­as's policies did not significantly differ from those of the Liberal party. During his tenure, Honduras declared war on the Axis powers in December 1941, though it did not actively participate in World War II. The wartime shipping curtailments led to economic hardship, unemployment, and unrest, but CarĂ­as's government maintained control. He survived a revolution in 1947 and later transferred power to his minister of defense, Juan Manuel GĂĄlvez.1
