About Francisco Bertrand

Lived 1866 – 1926 (aged 59). Francisco Bertrand was a Honduran politician and head of government.

Francisco Bertrand Barahona (9 October 1866 – 15 July 1926) was a Honduran politician. He was a two-term President of Honduras, first from 28 March 1911 to 1 February 1912, and then again between 21 March 1913 and 9 September 1919. His successor and predecessor was Manuel Bonilla, and Bertrand served as the Vice President in Bonilla's cabinet. He was a member of the National Party.

Bertrand started out with a reputation as a conciliator, but during his last presidency was involved in armed conflict with his political opponents. It is believed that United States of America pressure was behind his abandoning the post of President. He spent the next few years in exile before returning to La Ceiba, Honduras. He died on 15 July 1926.
