Rosalvo Bobo

Pierre François Joseph Benoit Rosalvo Bobo or Rosalvo Bobo (1874–1929) was a Haitian politician who opposed the United States occupation of Haiti in 1915.[1] He led the Cacos Rebellion in response to the landing of US Marines at Port-au-Prince on 28 July 1915. Admiral William B. Caperton ordered the troops in after the death of Jean Vilbrun Guillaume Sam.[1] In this way Bobo was prevented from becoming president with Philippe Sudré Dartiguenave being installed as a US puppet.[1] Bobo first fled to Cuba, but then moved on to Jamaica.[1] He finally settled in France, where he died in 1929.[1]
