In South American history, republiquetas were independence-seeking guerrilla groups of the Bolivian War of Independence during the first decades of the 19th century. Their first historiographical mention and description came from Argentine president and historian Bartolomé Mitre.[1] After the defeat of the first auxiliary Argentine army in the Battle of Huaqui, an amalgam of urban republicans, peasants, and Argentine agents effectively occupied vast, generally rural areas of Upper Peru. The guerrillas received support from another three military expeditions from Argentina from 1813 to 1817, but all of them were eventually vanquished after a number of early successes. The largest cities were occupied only for brief periods and eventually nearly all of these guerrilla movements disbanded or were defeated by royalist forces before Marshal Sucre routed the remaining troops still loyal to the Spanish crown in the Battle of Tumusla in April 1825.
