History
Peru-Bolivian Confederation.[2]
With Piérola's victory, the
Fundamental Law of 1837 in Tacna, with approval of the self-proclaimed supreme protector Andrés de Santa Cruz, recognized Arequipa as a founding department of the Confederation.[2] The General Government of the Confederation minimized the territorial dispute between the then Peruvian Republic and Bolivia.[1]
Arequipa was subject to the General Government, its governor was appointed by the president of the State, and this in turn was appointed by the supreme protector on duty.[2] The governor was obliged to elect representatives of his department to participate in the assemblies of Sicuani, which were ordered by the president of the South Peruvian State.[2]
During the
Chilean government repudiated the treaty.[3]
