Military directorate of Miguel Primo de Rivera

The military directorate of Miguel Primo de Rivera, also referred to as the Military Directory (Spanish: Directorio Militar), constituted the first stage of the personal dictatorship established in Spain during the reign of Alfonso XIII after the triumph of Primo de Rivera's coup d'état of September 13–15, 1923. It was an institution made up exclusively of military officers (eight generals and a rear admiral) who, under the presidency of General Miguel Primo de Rivera, had to advise him in the functions of government and in the promulgation of the decrees which would have the force of law —the Cortes elected in April 1923 were closed—.
