He served in the battles of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation and conspired against longtime dictator Manuel Isidoro Belzu (1848-55). Later, he was appointed Minister of War in the cabinet of another dictator, José María Linares (1857-61). In that capacity, he led the 1861 coup d'état that toppled Linares. Originally he governed as head of Junta, and then as sole leader of the revolutionary government but became constitutional president via elections. He was himself overthrown in the 1864 military coup carried out by General Mariano Melgarejo.
