Jose de San Martin of Argentina proclaimed Peru's independence on July 28, 1821: Simon Bolivar of Venezuela secured it in December: 1824 when he defeated the last Spanish army in South America. After several futile attempts to re-establish its South American empire, Spain recognized Peru's independence in 1879.
