Chuquisaca Revolution

The Real Audiencia of Charcas, with support from the faculty of University of Saint Francis Xavier, deposed the governor and formed a junta.

Although nearly 30 years passed, the indigenous revolutions led by Túpac Amarú II and Tomás Katari and their violent repression were still remembered.

The news of the fall of Ferdinand VII in Spain caused great concern in the city and the University of Chuquisaca, and there were important debates about the legitimacy of the government.

Bernardo de Monteagudo explained an idea that promoted self-determination, which would be later known as "Syllogism of Chuquisaca:" Shall we follow the fate of Spain or resist in the Americas?

After the second and more radical uprising was put down violently by an army sent by the Viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros, the movement at Chuquisaca lost all external support.
