So I go back to Mariscal Andres de Santa Cruz. This leader is a man of steel, as Bolivia fought on numerous major battles and won against neighboring Latin countries such as Peru and Chile through his leadership. According to historians,
Santa Cruz has been betrayed by Peruvian and Chilean armies when he had established the Paucarpata Peace Treaty with them. The intention is to allow the defeated armies to go back home without taking their weapons away. After the rout, Bolivia suffered some sixty years of unstable politics.
