Does anyone know anything about some sort of agreement that took place in Yatasto (I believe it's in Argentina) between Argentina and Chile and Simon Bolivar and what Simon Bolivar and San Martin had to do with it? I need answers asap please!

Thanks.

Answer 1

I never heard of it, so I looked in the Iternet and couldn't find anything but an argentinian race horse with the name Yatasto, so then I used a little trick of mine and wrote: "GOOGLE AR" and entered Google Argentina. Searched there and this is what I found out:

Argentina had two great military who made possible the independance from Spain, General Manuel Belgrano and General Jose San Martin. They met for the first time in Yatasto and soon became lifetime friends.

Yatasto is great farm land in the north of Argentina, from wich started the long road toward Bolivia (back then called Alto Peru wich means High Peru) and beyond towards Lima,Peru. Peru back then was the stronghold of the Spanish army.

Belgrano was the comander in chief and was on the lookout for a succesor, wich soon turn out to be San Martin. San Martin was a great militar and in 1816 gave Argentina it's independancy then crossed the Andes Mountains to Chile and after some time took over the spanish army there along with local patriot General Bernardo O'higgins, so Chile was an independent country in 1818.

San Martin was very clever and he knew that it would be impossible to beat the spanish army on the highlands of Bolivia and Peru, because in 1813-1815 Belgrano failled in his campaign at Alto Peru, so instead he attacked them by sea. His army traveled by ship from Chile to a point south of Lima ( Pisco) and from there he attacked Lima without worrying about all the spanish army spreaded thruhout the vast and unaccesible highlands.

While San Martin was beating the Spanish from the south, Simon Bolivar was doing the same from the north (Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador). After San Martin declared the independance of Peru in 1821, he met Simon Bolivar in Guayaquil, Ecuador. After a short period of transition, San Martin finnaly retired from political life and gave to Bolivar military power over the newly independent countries (except Chile and Argentina). Later they changed the name of Alto Peru to Bolivia in honor of Simon Bolivar.
