BOLIVIA.
The northern territory of Peru became an independent state under the name of Bolivia in honor of the liberator (1825). Bolívar did not accept the presidency and appointed him to the office of General Antonio José de Sucre. Which governed until 1828. Later, in his honor, he changed the name of the capital, Chuquisaca, to Sucre. Then came a period of anarchy, in which José Miguel de Velasco, elected 4 times, in the span of 20 years, and Joseph Ballivián (1841-47), who ordered the country, promoted mining and defended Bolivia from the invasion of Peru at the Battle of Ingavi. The policy of the arbitrary and ignorant ruler Mariano Melgarejo (1864-71) resulted in the loss of large territories in the hands of Brazil and Chile, and the War of the Pacific (1879-83) in which Bolivia lost its access to the sea. After that, there was a period of democratic stability, the "oligarchy of conservative freedom" supported by silver and tin.
you go out. In 1898, the government regime, led by Colonel José Manuel Pando, transferred the position of President of the Republic from Sucre to La Paz.
