The Peruvian-Bolivian Confederation (official name) or Peruvian-Bolivian Confederation was a State constituted by the equalitarian coalition of three states: The Nor-Peruvian State, the South-Peruvian State, both of ephemeral existence, and the state of Bolivia, this last a republic, under the supreme command of the Bolivian marshal Andrés de Santa Cruz, one of the victors of the battle of Ayacucho. Santa Cruz assumed the position of protector of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation in 1836, after having been president of the Republic of Peru (1827) and while he was president of the Republic of Bolivia (1829-1839).
The confederation had an existence of three years. Although its institutional beginning arose with the declaration of its constitution in 1837, its validity dated from 1836 de facto - with the term of the War between Salaverry and Santa Cruz - until 1839 - with the dissolution made by Agustín Gamarra due to the war declared by the governments of Chile and the Argentine Confederation, and by the Peruvians opposed to the Santa Cruz project. The Restorative United Army, formed by Chilean and Peruvian troops under the command of General Manuel Bulnes and Marshal Agustín Gamarra, defeated the Confederate troops at the Battle of Yungay on January 20, 1839.
