Following the fall of Rosas in 1852, the province of Buenos Aires momentarily lost its national hegemony. The new political constellation recognized General Urquiza as their leader. This change was not accepted by the Buenos Aires leaders, who were reluctant to accept outside rule. In order to prevent the latter, they hatched an unprecedented alliance between politicians that had opposed Rosas in the past and their traditional Liberal adversaries who had returned after a lengthy exile. This coalition acquired control over the city of Buenos Aires and managed to implement an original collegiate regime that required a solid social consensus to cope with the attempts by Urquiza and his followers to recover the rebellious area. During the years of the Buenos Aires secession, the political press played a key role in the formation and coordination of a solid public opinion that strongly supported the new political order that eventually managed to restore Buenos Aires' hegemony in 1861.
