Daniel Salamanca Urey (July 8, 1869 - July 17, 1935) was president of Bolivia from March 5, 1931 until he was overthrown in a coup d'etat on November 27, 1934, during the country's disastrous Chaco War with Paraguay.

Born in Cochabamba, Salamanca studied law, before being elected to Bolivia's Chamber of Deputies in 1899 for the Liberal Party. Two years later, President José Manuel Pando appointed him Finance Minister.

Immediately upon assuming office, Salamanca introduced an unpopular austerity program and clamped down on political opposition to his government. In what was likely a measure to avert public attention to the economic problems still facing the country, he also revived hostilities with Paraguay in the disputed Chaco region, ordering the army to attack a Paraguayan garrison at Vanguardia. This ignited the disastrous Chaco War (1932-1935). The war only exacerbated already severe economic problems in Bolivia (and in Paraguay), while causing many thousands of casualties. On November 27, 1934, a group of Bolivian generals deposed Salamanca while he visited their headquarters Villamontes and replaced him with the vice president, José Luis Tejada Sorzano. Salamanca retired to Cochabamba, where he died less than a year later.

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Daniel Salamanca Urey (937 words)
Salamanca himself ran for president on the "Genuino" ticket in the elections of 1925, but lost to Saavedra's handpicked successor, Hernando Siles.
Salamanca's relationship with the latter general only got worse, as the mercurial President (then in his mid 60s) tended to blame the military leadership for the continuing military setbacks on the field.
It is a shameful stain in the turbulent history of Bolivia that the military deposed the duly-elected Commander-in-chief during a war, and in the theater of operations at that.
