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.
