Abstract
En 1945, al concluir la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se abrió en América Latina un ambiente
favorable para el impulso de reformas sociales y aperturas políticas conocido como la
“Primavera Democrática”. En el Perú, el reconocido abogado arequipeño José Luis
Bustamante y Rivero ganó las elecciones presidenciales de junio de 1945 con el Frente
Democrático Nacional (FDN) reemplazando al gobierno pro-oligárquico de Manuel
Prado. Sin embargo, el asesinato en enero de 1947 de Francisco Graña Garland, director
del diario La Prensa, marcó un punto de inflexión para el régimen al generar una grave
crisis política que se sumó a la inestabilidad económica y a un panorama internacional
adverso por el comienzo de la Guerra Fría dicho mismo año. Frente a este escenario, en
octubre de 1948, el general Manuel Odría, con el apoyo de las Fuerzas Armadas y la élite
económica, encabezó con éxito un golpe de estado concluyendo el breve experimento
democrático. El objetivo de esta tesis es conocer y analizar cómo gobernó Bustamante
durante dicho período y qué acciones realizó tras su derrocamiento.
In 1945, at the end of the Second World War, a favorable environment opened in Latin America for the promotion of social reforms and political openings known as the “Democratic Spring”. In Peru, the renowned Arequipa lawyer José Luis Bustamante y Rivero won the presidential elections of June 1945 with “Frente Democrático Nacional” (FDN), replacing the pro-oligarchic government of Manuel Prado. However, the assassination in January 1947 of Francisco Graña Garland, director of the newspaper La Prensa, marked a turning point for his regime by generating a serious political crisis that added to economic instability and an adverse international panorama due to the beginning of the Cold War said same year. Faced with this scenario, in October 1948, General Manuel Odría, with the support of the Armed Forces and the economic elite, successfully led a coup d'état, concluding the brief democratic experiment. The objective of this thesis is to know and analyze how Bustamante governed during the said period and what actions he carried out after his overthrow.
