=== === Peru's independence movement was set forth by a rebellion of Spanish-American landowners, led by two persuasive and great leaders; Jóse de san Martín of Argentina and Simón Bolívar of Venezuela. Jóse de san Martín led a military campaign of 4,200 soldiers. The journey was organized and financed by Chile; it sailed from Valparaiso in August of 1820. On the momentous occasion of Peru's independence, San Martín decreed the independence of Peru in Lima on July 28th 1821, with the famous and noble words, "… from this moment on, Peru is free and independent; by the general will of the people and the justice of its cause that God defends. Long live the homeland! Long live freedom! Long live our independence!"
