A [[Peruvian Civil War of 1834|civil war]] broke out in 1834, by revolutionaries who opposed Orbegoso as a successor of Gamarra. Orbegoso proved popular with the population, and the revolution was eventually repressed, with Orbegoso, who had established himself in the Real Felipe Fortress, returning to Lima on May 3, 1834.

Desires to unite the regions of lower and upper Peru eventually led to the [[Salaverry-Santa Cruz War]], which itself led to the establishment of the [[Republic of South Peru]] on March 17, 1836, and the [[Republic of North Peru]] on August 11, 1836, with [[Andrés de Santa Cruz]] appointing himself the Supreme Protector of both states. The establishment of these states later ended with the establishment of the [[Peru–Bolivian Confederation]].
