After winning a number of battles in Peru, Santa Cruz reorganized that country into two autonomous states—the Republic of North Peru and the Republic of South Peru—and joined them with Bolivia in the Peru-Bolivia Confederation with himself as Supreme protector.
Efter att ha vunnit flera slag i Peru omorganiserade Santa Cruz det landet i två autonoma stater, Norra Peru och Södra Peru samt införlivade dessa i den Peru-Bolivianska konfederationen med sig själv som beskyddare.
