Historic essay on the genesis of seamanship revolt in Chili on the year 1931

Abstract

The following article it indicates that the arguments presented commonly by the historiography to explain the origin of the naval insurrection of 1931, are incomplete. Generally he is assumed to this one by external, both political and economic reasons, but this study postulates that these motivations are superficial, since a political crisis or a reduction in the salaries are not enough to raise to an armed perfectly organized institution discipline. Here one affirms that the principal factor that produced the revolt was internal and was represented by the loss of the military morality in the armed forces, due to the breach of certain fundamental values in the military life since they are the principle of authority across the hierarchy, the confidence and the respect between the controls and his secondary ones.
