Additional Details

This proclamation was Bolívar's reaction to Peru's invasion of Bolivia, seen as a threat to the Republic of Gran Colombia. It concludes dramatically "Volad a las fronteras del Perú y esperad allí la hora de la vindicta. Mi presencia entre vosotros, será la señal del combate," or "Fly away to the borders of Peru and wait until the time for vengeance. My presence among you will be the sign of combat."
