====Conflict between Iglesias and Cáceres====
Miguel Iglesias' [[Miguel Iglesias government|Regenerator Government]] that had been established under Chilean occupation and signed the [[Treaty of Ancón]] continued to function as the constitutional government of Peru. During this period, [[Andrés Avelino Cáceres]], who had fought the [[Sierra campaign|Breña campaign]] and was known as the ''Hero of Breña'', opposed Iglesias and received more popular support than Iglesias' government.

Iglesias attempted to negotiate with Cáceres for his support. Eventually, negotiations failed and he demanded his unconditional submission. For his part, Cáceres proceeded to proclaim himself President on July 16, 1884, arguing the breakdown of the constitutional order. This disagreement led to the [[Peruvian Civil War of 1884–1885]].

The forces of Iglesias and Cáceres initially clashed in Lima and later in Trujillo. Faced with his defeats on the north coast, Cáceres withdrew to the south center: Cuzco, Arequipa, Apurímac and Ayacucho, where he was able to reorganize his army to attack again. He ordered his troops to be defeated near Jauja while he moved his best troops to [[Huaripampa District|Huaripampa]], who cut off bridges that would've allowed Iglesias' troops return and eventually moved to Lima where they carried out a successful offensive against Iglesias, ending the civil war. Iglesias would be exiled to [[Restoration (Spain)|Spain]], only returning in 1895 after being elected as senator for Cajamarca, dying later in 1909.
