It ended with the victory of General Facundo Quiroga, one of the most capable and well known of the Federalist ''caudillos''. ==Background== The civil war that broke out with the shooting of Manuel Dorrego by order of Juan Lavalle in Buenos Aires mostly took place in Córdoba Province, where the battles of San Roque, La Tablada and Oncativo were fought. These three were victories of the Unitarian General José María Paz. The Federalist leader in the last two was Juan Facundo Quiroga. Quiroga decided not to fight on, even at the request of the governor of Buenos Aires, Juan Manuel de Rosas. But in late 1830 Quiroga learned of the violence that General Gregorio Aráoz de Lamadrid, whom Quiroga had already beaten twice, had committed against his family. His mother had been paraded in chains through the street of La Rioja, and his wife and children had been forced into exile in Chile. Their property had been stolen by Lamadrid, who held the government of La Rioja. Quiroga then decided to return to action. He asked Rosas for asked any group of men, and he was given 450 prisoners and homeless people, whom he moved to Pergamino (Buenos Aires) and trained as soldiers. He then advanced to the south of Córdoba Province. Along the way he picked up soldiers who had deserted from the Unitarian army unit in the Battle of Fraile Muerto, a victory of Buenos Aires General Ángel Pacheco. With these forces he occupied the city of Río Cuarto after a siege of several days. With his army reinforced, he invaded San Luis Province, where he defeated Colonel Juan Pascual Pringles, who was killed in a battle near the Quinto River. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of Rodeo de Chacón」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
