It ended with the defeat and execution of Felipe Santiago Salaverry and the creation of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation.

The war was won by the constitutional President Luis José de Orbegoso.

Santa Cruz was alarmed by Salaverry's coup, who also received the support of his former enemy General Agustín Gamarra.

Santa Cruz agreed to invade Peru to overthrow them, since Orbegoso would not be able to confront Salaverry and Gamarra alone.
