On September 25th |
On September 25th 1944, a joint revolt in the military forces took place in Peru. Many major cities declared independence as the Peruvian National Republic. The revolutionaries led by Velasco declared the city of Lima as the capital of the new country. Already in the first day of the revolution, fighting between revolutionaries and the royal forces were already happening in Lima, but due the loyalist forces being outnumbered by great numbers, and the surprise factor of the fight, the revolutionaries quickly took control of the city. The same happened in other major city centers such as La Paz, Sucre and Potosí. |
