Spanish forces defeated the rebels in Peru and Bolivia in early 1782; the failed uprising nonetheless inspired revolts and later political reinterpretations.
In early 1782 the Spanish military defeated the rebels in Peru and Bolivia, ending the major phase of the uprising. Although the rebellion failed, it marked the first large-scale rebellion in the Spanish colonies and inspired revolts by Natives and Peruvians in surrounding areas. It strongly influenced Chile's Conspiracy of the Tres Antonios, which arose on January 1, 1781, at the height of the insurrection, and its leader was later elevated to mythical status in struggles for independence and indigenous rights.
