Emancipation of Peru
 

The period of the emancipation begins with the rebellion of Túpac Amaru II, a noble indigenous that led an uprising against the viceroyalty but was defeated, captured and executed with his family. It was the arrival of José de San Martin, an Argentine general, on September 8, 1820, that heralded a new era in the struggle for independence. After entering the capital on June 6, 1821, José de San Martin proclaimed Peru's independence on July 28, 1821.

Simón Bolívar arrived in Peru on September first, 1823. He is considered the real organizer of the Peruvian army that had its first test in the pampas of Chacamarca, Junín. It was here, on August 6, 1824, that the Peruvian army achieved its first victory. But it was in Ayacucho at Pampas de la Quinua, where the Independence was consolidated and the capitulation was signed, this document signified Peru's birth as an independent nation.
