General elections were held in Honduras between 27 and 29 October 1923.[1] Tiburcio Carías Andino received the highest number of votes, with 47% of the ballots cast.[2] However, as no candidate had received an absolute majority in the public vote, Congress would vote on the candidates. However, Congress did not meet again until 1 January the following year.[3] In December President Rafael López Gutiérrez declared a state of siege, suspended the constitution, and announced that he would remain in office in order to keep the peace.[4] Although Congress was dominated by the two liberal parties, they did not want Carías, but also could not agree on a common candidate.[5]
As a result, Carías started a civil war in February, known as the War of Revindication. López Gutiérrez lost the support of his party in several provinces.[6] Scattered fighting took place over two months, with 400 American marines occupying Tegucigalpa.[7]
