An attempt at mediation by Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles between the government of the nation in which this event took place and opposition groups like the labor union CNOC and the radical group ABC failed to slow the unrest that led to this event. A bus drivers' strike was an immediate catalyst of this event; that strike caused the communist URC to lose credibility when its collusion with the current president was made public, causing his exile and the installment of Alberto Herrera, the favorite of the US government. Over 1,000 porristas, members of the secret police, were executed in the streets after (*) Gerardo Machado was exiled, leading to Herrera's replacement by Manuel de Cespedes. Beginning at the bases of La Cabana and Camp Columbia, this uprising brought to power a man who would twenty years later lead another coup against Carlos Prio Socarras. For 10 points — brought on by Cespedes' policy of non-promotion of junior officers, name this 1933 rebellion led by Fulgencio Batista in Cuba.
