Manuel de Regla Mota y Álvarez (November 21, 1795 – May 1, 1864) was a Dominican military figure and politician. He served as the 5th president of the Dominican Republic from May 26, 1856 until October 8, 1856. Prior to that he served as the country's vice president under Pedro Santana.
Political and military career
After the Dominican War of Independence, Regla Mota was appointed Colonel of the National Militia. His duties as Colonel were to protect the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, which at the time were near San Cristóbal and Baní.
Regla Mota's political and military career was always under the shadow of the caudillo, Pedro Santana. Regla Mota was well liked by Santana and as such Regla Mota served as Santana's Minister of War and Marine Affairs, and as Vice-President.
President
On March 18, 1844, Haitian forces under the command of General Souffarnt triumphantly fought the Dominican forces lead by then General Regla Mota at the battle of Cabeza de Maria.
In May 1856, then Vice-President Regla Mota assumed the Presidency, after the fallout between Santana and Antonio María de Segovia, the Spanish Consul of the time. Soon after Segovia caused Santana to relinquish his Presidency, he forced out Regla Mota as well, in favor of Buenaventura Báez. The hostility between Segovia and Santana became so great that Santana had to flee. Soon afterwards Regla Mota died, in May 1864.
