Jos Francisco de San Martn was an Argentine general and the prime leader of the southern part of South America's successful struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire. Born in Yapey, Corrientes, in modern Argentina, he left his mother country at the early age of seven and studied in Mlaga, Spain. In 1808, after taking part in the Peninsular War against France, San Martn contacted South American supporters of independence from Spain. In 1812, he set sail for Buenos Aires and offered his services to the United Provinces of the Ro de la Plata, present-day Argentina. After the Battle of San Lorenzo and some time on command of the Army of the North during 1814, he organized a plan to defeat the Spanish forces that menaced the United Provinces from the north, using an alternative path to the Viceroyalty of Peru. This objective first involved the establishment of a new army, the Army of the Andes, in Cuyo Province, Argentina. From there, he led the Crossing of the Andes to Chile, and triumphed at the Battle of Chacabuco and the Battle of Maip (1818), thus liberating Chile from royalist rule. Then he sailed to attack the Spanish stronghold of Lima, Peru. On 12 July 1821, after seizing partial control of Lima, San Martn was appointed Protector of Peru, and Peruvian independence was officially declared on 28 July. On 22 July 1822, after a closed-door meeting with fellow libertador Simn Bolvar at Guayaquil, Ecuador, Bolvar took over the task of fully liberating Peru. San Martn unexpectedly left the country and resigned the command of his army, excluding himself from politics and the military, and moved to France in 1824. The details of the 22 July meeting would be a subject of debate by later historians. San Martn is regarded as a national hero of Argentina and, together with Simon Bolvar, one of the liberators of Spanish South America. The Order of the Liberator General San Martn (Orden del Libertador General San Martn), created in his honor, is the highest decoration conferred by the Argentine government. In 1824, soon after his return to Argentina, his wife Remedios de Escalada de San Martn died. Then he moved to Europe with his daughter Mercedes, first to England, then to Brussels. To keep a neutral position during the 1830 Belgian Revolution he moved to Paris, where he contracted cholera. Cured but weakened, he bought a house and retired at Grand-Bourg, near vry. His daughter married Mariano Antonio Severo de Balcarce, illegitimate son ofJuan Manuel de Rosas, in Paris on 13 December 1832, and they had two daughters. In 1848, when the revolution started in Paris,[43] he decided to move to London,[44] but settled instead at Boulogne-sur-Mer, where he spent the remainder of his days.[45] He always excluded himself from every possible meddling at the internecine wars of his native country, and refused several offers he had to do so. He even returned to Buenos Aires, but refused to leave the ship when he learned that Juan Lavalle had deposed and executed governor Manuel Dorrego, and returned to Europe. The only occasion in which he offered himself to return to Argentina was at the time of the French blockades of 1838 and 1845. In recognition of the successful defense of Argentine rights in those conflicts, he handed down his sword to Buenos Aires Province Governor Juan Manuel de Rosas through his will. He died on 17 August 1850 in Boulogne-Sur-Mer, France.[46] In 1880[47] his remains were taken from Brunoy to Buenos Aires and reinterred in the Buenos Aires Cathedral.[48] The mausoleum also has the remains of Generals Juan Gregorio de las Heras and Toms Guido, as well as those of the Unknown Soldier of the Independence.
