shows the Peruvo-Bolivian Confederation 1836-39.

The Peruvo-Bolivian Confederation was a transitory union of Peru and
Bolivia (1836-1839). Bolivia’s dictator, Andrés Santa Cruz, conquered
Peru after helping to quell an army rebellion against Peruvian president
Luís José de Orbegoso in 1835. Santa Cruz then divided
Peru into a northern and a southern part, with Orbegoso as president in
the north and Gen. Ramón Herrera in the south. These states were
then joined to Bolivia.

In 1838 General Santa Cruz created the Peruvian-Bolivian
Confederation, and established as flag a red field with the
three coats of arms of the constituent states in the center
united by some interlaced garlands. The Confederation was
formed by three states: Bolivia,
North Peru and
South Peru. In 1839, General Santa
Cruz was overthrown and the confederation was disbanded.
