The economic crises, the loss of power of Spain in Europe, the war of independence in North America and native uprisings all contributed to a favorable climate to the development of emancipating ideas among the creole population in South America. The liberation movement started in Argentina

Because Peru was the stronghold of the Spanish government in South America, Argentine patriot, General San Martin’s strategy to liberate Peru was to use diplomacy, but all negotiations proved unsuccessful.

In 1824, Simon Bolivar and his assistants assembled the army at the Lake of Junín in the mountains. The Battle of Junín was quite impressive because about 500 soldiers were killed and taken as prisoners. This war had a huge impact on Spain and the royalists. During the Battle of Junín, about 3000 soldiers were defeated, abandoned, or became sick to fight.

The truly victorious Peruvians ended the Spanish rule and show their patriotism in the Battle of Ayacucho in 1824 (This war was considered to be an absolute battle). After this battle, Spain finally recognized Peru as an independent country.

• Argentine soldier, statesman, and national hero José de San Martín helped lead the revolutions against Spanish rule in Argentina, Chile and Peru.

He became involved in the resistance movement and played a key role in the Spanish American fight for independence. In 1825, the "Republic of Bolivia" was created in honor of the inspirational leader, hailed by many as El Libertador (The Liberator).
