Editing History of Peru (section)

====Bolivarian era====
[[Simón Bolívar]], who became dictator of Peru on January 17, 1824, notified the [[Constituent Congress of Peru, 1822|Constituent Congress]] of his resignation of his office, which was not accepted, instead being extended until 1827. During this time, he travelled to southern and Upper Peru, and the final [[Flag of Peru|flag]] and [[coat of arms of Peru]] was established on February 25, 1825, the latter designed by {{ill|José Gregorio Paredes|es|José Gregorio Paredes}}.

Upper Peru, whose public opinion was split between joining Peru or the [[United Provinces of the Río de la Plata|United Provinces]], soon saw a new train of thought establish itself, which suggested that the region become an independent state. Soon, the [[State of Upper Peru]] was established as an independent state, later becoming [[Bolivia]]. Bolívar was in charge of the constitution, as well as [[Constitution of Peru (1826)|Peru's]] and later [[Gran Colombia|Colombia's]]. The similarities between the constitutions was related to his desire to establish a federation in America, which led to the [[Congress of Panama]] and later the anti-Bolivarian sentiment that led to him leaving Peru on September 3, 1826. A year later, the Constituent Congress was dissolved.
