The alliance with Aymara leader Túpac Katari did not last, prompting him to lead his army alone; he was captured in October 1781.
The insurgent alliance with the Aymara leader Túpac Katari proved short-lived. Its collapse forced Katari to continue campaigning at the head of his own army, a course that ended in his capture in October 1781. The episode illustrates how the Peruvian uprising became entangled with parallel Andean movements before Spanish forces defeated the rebels in Peru and Bolivia in early 1782.
