Born of the Confederacy

The Peru-Bolivian Confederacy was the only plan that succeded in his attemp of reuniting "High Peru" (Boliva) and "Lower Peru (Peru)" in a single political and economic entity. Becouse of the great distances that separate "High Peru" with his administrative capital, Buenos Aires, a Union with Peru was widely supported in the territory. Simon Bolivar, having liberated Peru, and destroying the last remmants of the Spanish Army, didn´t approve the Union, and urged the creation of a separated and independent State. The Republic of Bolivia (named in his honor) was born, with Bolivar as his first President. Political unrest and turmoil force Bolivar to return to Colombia, leaving Antonio de Sucre in charge. Nevertheless, the plan for reuniting Peru and Bolivia didn´t fade away.
