La guerra civil peruana de 1854. Los entresijos de una revolución

Abstract

The paper attempts to analyze the complexity of the civil war that broke out in Peru in 1854 between the constitutional government of General Jose Rufino Echenique and revolutionaries led by General Ramón Castilla. I will study the various antigovernment statements, the role played by the army and the National Guard on either side. Finally I will develop the policy of political awards with all its allies, especially the liberals, decided by Castilla's winning side once established in the power.
