Carlos de la Rosa Hernández

Carlos de la Rosa Hernández as drawn by Conrado Walter Massaguer in 1924. Carlos de la Rosa Hernández was a Cuban soldier and politician. He served as Vice President of Cuba from 1925 to 1928. For twelve years, he served as the Mayor of Cárdenas, Cuba. He also served as a Cuban Senator. Attending his inauguration were the U.S. Ambassador Enoch Crowder, First Secretary Curtis C. Jordan, and the Mexican Ambassador Aarón Sáenz Garza.

His tenure as vice president ended with the 1928 constitutional reform law that declared the office of Vice President of Cuba to be unconstitutional, at which point he became "Senator for life".

In his final years, de la Rosa withdrew from political life. He died of natural causes in Havana on February 9, 1933. Just months after his death, General Machado's dictatorship was overthrown by the Cuban General Strike of 1933.
