Chilean Naval Mutiny of 1931 - Aftermath

Aftermath

The combined actions of Talcahuano and Coquimbo seemingly disheartened the mutineers, who decided to end the mutiny. They took the fleet to Valparaiso and there they surrendered unconditionally to the authorities. The sailors were court-martialed and received different sentences ranging from light prison to death sentences. Further purges in the navy followed. However, no one was executed, and the mutineers were all eventually pardoned by the authorities a year later, with the advent of the Socialist Republic of Chile.
