Sanation Movement

The Sanation Movement was a political movement in Peru founded by President Augusto B. Leguía in 1931, aiming to restore stability and order after political chaos. It promoted anti-corruption measures, centralized power, and economic development, often using authoritarian methods. While initially popular for bringing stability, it also limited democratic freedoms. The movement's influence waned after Leguía's overthrow in 1930, but it played a significant role in shaping Peru's political landscape during the early 20th century.
