Vicente García González (January 23, 1833 – March 4, 1888) was a General in the Cuban Ten Years' War[1] (Spanish; Castilian: '''Guerra de los Diez Años''', also known as the Great War) and later a Cuban President who was assassinated by the Spanish after the war.
García was born on January 23, 1833, in Las Tunas.
In November 1877, Cuban President Tomás Estrada Palma was captured and imprisoned by the Spaniards. Maximo Gomez is offered the presidency, but he refuses. [Many believe this to be factor that ended the Ten Year War unfavorably for the rebels.] Gen. Vicente García is named president of the Republic of Cuba.
On June 7, he left for Venezuela on the steamship Guadalquivir. He settled in Rio Chico, where he founded a cooperative with his family and continued to support the new revolutionary outburst.
On March 4, 1888, Vicente García y González died as a result of an assassination by the Spanish.
