The Julian Revolution1 was a civic-military movement in Ecuador that, through a coup on July 9, 1925 led by the Military League, a secret group of young officers of the Ecuadorian Army, overthrew President Gonzalo Córdova. After an initial Military Junta, it was extended for six years —until 1931—, with two provisional government juntas and the presidency of Isidro Ayora, first interim and then constitutional, which ended with a new military coup on August 24, 1931.

The Revolution was oriented against the plutocracy that ruled the country. Despite being forged outside the population, initially limited to supporting what was carried out by the military, it reflected a national aspiration for change from those political and social sectors that participated in the juntas and the Ayora Government. Once in power, through various modernizing economic and socio-labour measures, he sought to put an end to the "bankocracy" and the political dominance of the liberal oligarchies.
