Coalition (Chile)

The Coalition was a Chilean political coalition created in 1891, at the end of the Civil War, in opposition to the Liberal Alliance. The Coalition was made up of the Conservative Party (the main pole of attraction of the grouping), Democrats, Nationals, and various liberal factions depending on the electoral and political circumstances of the moment. Together with its rival, the Liberal Alliance, it formed a sort of two-party system during the period of the Chilean parliamentary era.
