shows the Peruvo-Bolivian Confederation 1836-39.

In 1838 General Santa Cruz created the Peruvian-Bolivian
Confederation, and established as flag a red field with the
three coats of arms of the constituent states in the center
united by some interlaced garlands. The Confederation was
formed by three states: Bolivia,
North Peru and
South Peru. In 1839, General Santa
Cruz was overthrown and the confederation was disbanded.
