People From Tarija Department
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

War Of The Republiquetas
In South American history, republiquetas were independence-seeking guerrilla groups in the period 1811-1825 in Upper Peru (present-day Bolivia). Their first historiographical mention and description came from Argentine president and historian Bartolomé Mitre. After the defeat of the first auxiliary Argentine army in the Battle of Huaqui, an amalgam of urban republicans, peasants, and Argentine agents effectively occupied vast, generally rural areas. The guerrillas received support from another three military expeditions from Argentina from 1813 to 1817, but all of them were eventually vanquished after a number of early successes. The largest cities were occupied only for brief periods and eventually nearly all of these guerrilla movements disbanded or were defeated by royalist forces before Marshall Sucre's campaign routed the remaining troops still loyal to the Spanish crown in 1825.
