Peru-Bolivian Confederation
by anthro.atlas
he Confederación Perú-Boliviana (Peru-Bolivian Confederation) was a state in South America that existed from 1836 until 1839. It was a union of the three states of North Peru, South Peru, and Bolivia, as well as the two administrative areas of Carhuaucran and Arica. It encompassed the entirety of modern-day Peru and Bolivia, along with portions of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Paraguay. Territorial disputes with neighbouring states and competing political interests were among the internal and foreign factors that ultimately brought the confederation to an end.
