José Francisco de San Martín Matorras, commonly known as José de San Martín (25 February 1778 – 17 August 1850) was an Argentine general and the prime leader of the southern part of South America's successful struggle for independence from Spain. Born on February 25, 1778 in Yapeyú, he left at early age his mother country and studied in Madrid, Spain where he met and befriended chilean Bernardo O'Higgins. On 1789, after joining the Spanish forces to fight against the French, and participating in several battles such as the Battle of Bailén and Battle of Albuera, San Martín started taking contact with South American independentists.
On 1812, he set sail to Buenos Aires from England, and offered his services to the United Provinces of the South (roughly present Argentina). After the Battle of San Lorenzo in 1813, and some time in command of the Army of the North during 1814, he started his plan to attack Lima, by first liberating Chile in order to attack it by sea by creating and Army in Cuyo for this purpouse. In 1817, –in a feat comparable to Crossing of the Alps by Hannibal and Napoleon– he crossed the Andes from Mendoza to Chile, and prevailed over the Spanish forces after the Battle of Chacabuco and Battle of Maipú (1818), liberating Chile together with chilean Bernardo O'Higgins. San Martín seized control of the viceroyalty's capital –Lima– in July 12, 1821, declared Peru's independence, and was appointed Protector of Perú. After a closed-door meeting in Guayaquil with fellow libertador Simón Bolívar at Guayaquil in July 22, 1822, San Martín unexpectedly left Perú and resigned the command of his army, excluding himself from politics and military, and taking exile to France in 1824. The meeting events were to be a largely discussed subject by latter historians.
Together with Simón Bolívar in the north, San Martín is regarded as one of the Liberators of Spanish South America. He is a national hero of Argentina.
