Royalist Alto Peru in the Independence War
During the Independence War in Alto Perú (Bolivia) in the period of 1809 - 1825 the country has repeatedly passed from hand to hand. Charcas or Upper Peru more time than other parts of South America were under the control of the royalists. Here were taken liberal reforms after the promulgation of the Cadiz Constitution of 1812, which could become the basis for the reconciliation of patriots with the metropolis. Periods of constitutional rule in Charkas gave way to the triumph of absolutism. The experience of the Spanish liberal reforms in the colonies on the example of Charcas is the object of this study.
