Liberal Alliance (Chile)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

After the 1891 Chilean Civil War and the dissolution of the coalition between conservatives, radicals and anti-balmacedist liberals the Radical Party, the Democrat Party and several liberal organizations formed the Liberal Alliance (Spanish: Alianza Liberal). It was the main opposer of the Coalition. Along with the Coalition, it was one of the two parties of the bipartisan system of that period, the era of the Chilean parliamentary republic. The Alliance would later be called the Liberal Union, during a period in which it was a union of the radicals, the democrats, and all liberal groups (liberals, liberal democrats, nationals and the doctrinary liberals). It dissolved in 1925.
