In an attempt to avoid analyzing the Peru-Bolivian Confederation (1835-1839) solely from events and as what it should have been, and instead from approaching it from the perspective of what it was hoped to be and, documentarily, actually became, this article revisits the historical interpretation of a crucial moment in the first half of the nineteenth century for the Andean region. Using sources such as the correspondence of Andrés de Santa Cruz and the Pacto de Tacna, a key political document of the Confederation, the study aims to assert the motivations of certain regional leaders in the formation of a federated supra-state through political experimentation, and how this might have questioned the seemingly inevitable path toward the national state.
