FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
BY H. IRVING KING

When South America Emerged From Spanish Domination, Uniting the

Spanish viceroys waged war on the
other colonies. In Upper Peru, or
what is now Bolivia, however, there
was a strong antagonism to the royal
authority which spread gradually to
the other parts of v%iceroyalty and
rendered the Spanish supremacy pre-
carious. In 1921 this Peruvian move
ment had gained such strength that
an assembly Of Peruvians declared
independence. though the viceroy still
held his post and, by the command OF
the sen which he possessed and the
strength Of the royal forces. still
fought to subdue South America to
the Spanish crown.
6razll's Independence Declared.
In 1922 Brazil declared its indie
pendence of Portugal and set up as an
empire under the head Of the royal
house of B%raganza, who gave up his
claims to the Portuguese throne. In
the tumult which ragged around her
in South America Brazil took no part.
Her revolution was peacefully accom-
| plished and her independence peace
fully secure. But all Spanish-Amer-
lea was in a state of chaos The
%revolted colonies could not even agree
among themselves and were rent by
international discords. 1t looked as

necessary for the securing Of the I'M

Rivadavia was Professionally in

Els iica was to have all the colonies
unite In u peaceful understanding with
the mother country by which the rev.
olutlon should be completed; he was
evidently listening to the siren song,
of the royal commissioners. Mosquera
insisted upon a military alliance
against Spain.
The result was that for the first
time Spanish South America showed q
united front. The treaty was signed
on March 8. 1928. On December 8,

Breaking in the front door with an

minutes before entering the place.
Then she rushed from room to room

the sleeping quarters.
The couple came from Denver, Colo,
where they had spent all of their mar

have come in for a place as an inde'

has been before since the th,r'

Swedes. For over Il hundred years FIN
land formed an integral part Of the
Swedish realm and furnished to that
kingdom n host. of men eminent In

Finland enjoyed an autonomous con.

When Peter the Great built his new

own windows"
But a good chance to grab all Fin
land did not present itself to Russia
until the general upheaval of the Ma
poleonic wars. After the peace of
Tilslt, Russia and France being al
lies, the car had a free hand with
regard to Sweden and resolved to seize
Finland. He called it himself ian act
of bad faith toward a relative and an
ally" In February of 1908 a Russian
army invaded Finland. The aged and
incapable field marshal Klingspor, who
commanded an army Of Firms and
Swedes In Finland, was ordered by the
panic-stricken Swedish king, Gustavus
Nv, to save his troops as best he could.
"Gibraitar Of the North"
With the fall Of %Sveaborg, which
the Swedes called the Gibraltar of the
North" all hope of saving Finland was
lost but during the summer a Finnish
army fought several battles with the
Russian troops not without success.
In the fall. however, the Russian army
was increased, and on September IA
was fought the battle Of Oravais, fa-
nous in Finnish annals. The battle
lasted Is hours and was only decided
in favor Of the Russians by the timely
arrival of re-enforcements. In this
battle the Swedes and Films lost 1900
killed, one-third Of the whole force with
which they went into battle. The rem
nants of the army withdrew under the
cover of night, when the increased
number of Russians made It folly to
continue the battle, and crossed the
Swedish frontier. Finland was now
lost. In Stockholm when the disastrous
news reached there. the king was de-
posed and his son, Prince Charles made
regent. In Seeland lay a French army
under Observation-Disclosures to be-
come king of Sweden later-ready to
attack. The regent now turned his
attention to Russia and attempted to
drive out a Russian army which oc-
cupied West Bothnia. He was unsuc-
cessful. but finally that army withdrew
Of its own accord. Th~ z a now sig
nifed that he was willing to treat for
peace and on September II signed at

The independence of Spanish South
America was rendered possible by the
Treaty of Buenos Ayres. which united
all of Spain's revolted colonies below
the 1sthmus of Panama in a league
against. the mother country. or any
other country which should question
their right to set up for themselves
rs free and independent nations.
Strangely enough. the South Amer
lean revolution started in an uprising
of the colonists in behalf of the legiti-
mate king Of Spain, Ferdinand VII.
Napoleon having placed his brother
Joseph on the throne of Spain, Ven
ezuela, New Granada (Colombia) and
Buenos Ayres (Argentina), revolted
almost simultaneously in 1910, deposed
the royal officers, and established
juntas with the avowed purpose Of
holding those colonies for King
Ferdinand. In March Of 1911 q Ven.
ezuelan congress was convened and
on July S a declaration Of independ-
ence was adopted. In New Granada
the province of Cartagena declared
its independence in the same year.
Bogota, or the province of Cudina-
marca, proclaimed itself independent
during the captivity of the king"
The eastern provinces sought an ALI.
ance with Venezuela. Meantime. a
revolution broke out in Ecuador,
which was Joined by the part Of New
Granada adjoining, but this seems to
have been a rather mixed up affair,
the revolutionists not exactly sure OF
what they wanted.
Revolution Expanded.
The revolution in Buenos Ayres
spread " all that section, but it was
not until after independence was de
clared, what is now the Argentine Re
public taking the name of the United
Provinces Of La Plata. Paraguay, which
revolted in 1910, proclaimed it's in
dependence the next year and refused
to unite with La Plata, which, as yet
had not revolted. Uruguay had beer
made n part of Brazil in some Of the
royal and imperial deals of Europe
and was held by n Portuguese army
The revolution broke out in Chile II
1872 and was suppressed only to breal
out again. It was not until 1918 tina
Chile finally declared her independ
ence.
1914 King Ferdinand had been re
stored to the Spanish throne, so thos'
colonies which remained in revolt ant
had not declared their independence
seemed to have little excuse for thei
independence or existence as govern
ments.
Between the beginning Of the upris
ings In 1910 and the Treaty of Bueno:

lonial forces, each colony playing {
