The name of Military Anarchy (Spanish: Anarquía militar) is given to the period of the republican history of Peru following the death of President Agustín Gamarra during his failed invasion of Bolivia on November 18, 1841. It was a period of chaos and political and social upheaval, where no government was consolidated.
After Gamarra's death, he was succeeded by Manuel Menéndez as constitutional president, although a number of uprisings in different parts of the country challenged his authority, leading to civil war on May 17, 1843. It ended in 1845, when Ramón Castilla was elected President of the Republic after defeating Manuel Ignacio de Vivanco.
