  • February 23 – August 27 – Battle of Aguadulce
  • June – Conservative government sent a much larger force to recapture the city. This operation was much more properly planned than the earlier defense of the city. The planned involved on a force, led by General Luis Morales Berti, to advance from the locality of Anton towards Aguadulce, while the other, led by General Francisco Castro, to advance from the west and to complete the pincer. However, General Castro preferred to move on Anton and to unite his forces with those of General Berti. This error was taken advantage of by the Liberal forces, who used the extra time to escape

gollark: Oh, sorry, the actual version which is used only generates chars between 32 and 127 or so.
gollark: Source.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: ```lua-- Generate "len" random bytes as a stringlocal function randbytes(len) local out = "" for i = 1, len do out = out .. string.char(math.random(1, 255)) end return outend```
gollark: I decided to write a program to just randomly produce bits of code and run them. Somehow, TPS on switchcraft hasn't been affected, and it turns out that most valid randomly generated code begins with `#` for some reason.
