Editing History of Peru (section)

====Spanish resistance====
By the time the capitulation had been signed, the royalist forces in Peru occupied the southern provinces, slowly surrendering to the rebels. Despite the apparent end of the successful [[Patriot Governments (Spanish American independence)|patriot]] campaigns, two Spanish figures refused to accept the capitulation and established themselves in [[Callao]] and [[Upper Peru]]: [[José Ramón Rodil]] and [[Pedro Antonio Olañeta]], respectively. Additionally, a [[Iquicha|resistance]] in Ayacucho led by [[Antonio Huachaca]] would remain until its dissolution in 1839.

Olañeta, who established himself in [[Potosí]], soon became the focus of a [[Campaign of Sucre in Upper Peru|campaign]] commanded by [[Antonio José de Sucre]]. The campaign began in January and ended in April 1825, with the [[battle of Tumusla]] of April 1, where Olañeta was fatally wounded after being shot and died the day after.

Rodil, on the other hand, established himself in the [[Real Felipe Fortress]] of the port of Callao, near [[Lima]], expecting Spanish reinforcements that would never come. The capital city itself had been retaken by Royalist troops until the arrival of reinforcements for the Patriot side. This led to Rodil's forces being [[Second siege of Callao|besieged]] from December 5, 1824, to January 23, 1826, and becoming the final Spanish stronghold in South America.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dbe.rah.es/biografias/4574/jose-ramon-rodil-y-galloso|title=José Ramón Rodil y Galloso|website=[[Real Academia de la Historia]]}}</ref> The deteriorating conditions of the besieged fortress eventually led to the surrender of Rodil and his forces due to their inability to continue the siege alive.
