What Was the Vivanco–Pareja Treaty?
The Vivanco–Pareja Treaty was an agreement signed by representatives from Peru and Spain. It aimed to create peace and cooperation between the two nations, especially during the Chincha Islands War. This war was a conflict over some islands rich in guano (bird droppings used as fertilizer), which was a valuable resource at the time.
Who Signed the Treaty?
The treaty was signed on a Spanish warship called the Villa de Madrid. The two main people who signed it were:
- Manuel Ignacio de Vivanco: He signed on behalf of the Peruvian President, Juan Antonio Pezet.
- José Manuel Pareja: He signed for the Spanish Prime Minister, Ramón María Narváez.
What Happened After the Treaty?
Even though the treaty was meant to bring peace, it caused problems for Peruvian President Juan Antonio Pezet. Many people in Peru were unhappy because they felt the treaty was too favorable to Spain. They believed Peru should have declared war against Spain instead of signing this agreement.
Because of this strong disagreement and the loss of trust from the public, President Juan Antonio Pezet was forced to leave his office on November 7, 1865. His vice president, General Pedro Diez Canseco, then took over as the new leader of Peru.
