Among the revolutionaries were Lorenzo Batlle, Juan Campisteguy and Claudio Williman, future presidents of Uruguay.[3] The preparations for this revolution took place in Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos, when members of the Colorado Party, the Blanco Party, and the Constitutional party agreed to organize an armed uprising against the Santos presidency.[4]

This conflict culminated after the Battle of Soto, in which government troops under the command of General Máximo Tajes, defeated the revolutionary coalition.[5]
