The battle of Ayacucho: 200 years of history is the title of the round table organized by the Embassy of Peru and Casa América next Monday at 18.30 in their Miguel de Cervantes Hall. Free admission until capacity is full.
On December 9, 1824 took place the battle of Ayacucho, the last military confrontation between the Spanish royalist troops and the United Army Liberator of Peru, under the command of Antonio José de Sucre. The victory of the Libertador Army gave way to the independence of Peru and the end of the Spanish presence in South America.
This event aims to make a historical review of what the conflict meant for both America, Spain and Europe and help contextualize and understand how the independence of Peru was shaped. In addition, there will be a discussion on how relations between Spain and Peru have been and are and what links and ties they currently have.
Will give a welcome speech Leon de la Torre Krais, director general of the Casa de América, and participate in the round table Ascension Martínez Riaza, doctor and professor emerita of the Complutense University of Madrid; José de la Puente Brunke, Doctor and Vice-President of the National Academy of History of Peru, Víctor Peralta, Doctor and researcher at the Superior Council for Scientific Research, and Justo Cuño Bonito, Doctor and corresponding academic at the Colombian Academy of History. Alonso Ruiz Rosas, cultural advisor of Peru will moderate.
