A particularly virulent form of Andean caudillismo …
Years: 1816 - 1827
A particularly virulent form of Andean caudillismo surges into the political vacuum left by the collapse of Spanish rule.
Caudillo strongmen, often officers from the liberation armies, manage to seize power through force of arms and the elaboration of extensive and intricate clientelistic alliances.
Personalistic, arbitrary rule replaces the rule of law, and a prolonged and often byzantine struggle for power is waged at all levels of society.
The upshot is internal political fragmentation and chronic political instability during the first two decades of the post-independence era.
