[edit] Small Inaccuracy
Just to make sure my little correction isn't thought of as "vandalism": San Martín really did build his army in Cuyo before he liberated Chile or Peru. It would have been rather hard to do so otherwise. See Mitre, Bartolomé - The Emancipation of South America (or any modern history book, or sections 4.1.3 - 4.3 in this article) to confirm this. Correction made in last sentence in second paragraph. Indeterminate 09:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clarification
This article states that San Martin declared independence for Peru on 9 Dec 1824, yet later states that he moved to France in 1824. Unless he declared independence while in France, or unless he moved to France in the last three weeks of the year, I find this year to be doubtful. I will try to research this, but if someone else knows the answer and can beat me to it, it would be appreciated.
- I'm living in France near the town of Evry, and while having a bicycle ride there this morning I noticed by chance a place which gate held several plaques stating that General Jose San Martin had lived there between 1834 and 1848. It is now some kind of religious place (priory or such). To my understanding it is then inaccurate to state that he spent the remaining years of his life in Boulogne sur Mer... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.231.150.115 (talk • contribs)
- A picture of the plaque would be nice. Mariano(t/c) 08:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect
How about a redirect from "General José de San Martín", and maybe one from "General San Martín" ? I had a difficult time finding this page, as I didn't know his first name actually.
- Okay. Done. -- Infrogmation 18:27, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[edit] This Article
I Think this article is very bad for the report I am doing for Social Studies. It did not explain how he got his followers, or his steps for carring out the revolution. I'm very outraged.
- Hmmmm, very outraged seems to be a bit of an over-reaction. Were you completely counting on Wikipedia to do your report for you? OH NO! It looks like you're going to have to go and do some research for yourself! Isn't that terrible!--GringoInChile 10:40, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Stupid question
Was San Martin "Argentine"? He was born Spanish, and became an Argentine... did he? elpincha 21:38, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
- As far as I remember he was born in Yapeyú. At least that's what I thought!
- Google says:
- José F. de San Martín nació en Yapeyú el 25 de febrero de 1778
- Su Madre: Gregoria Matorras nació en la España de Castilla la Vieja.
- Su Padre: Juan de San Martín nació en la España de Castilla la Vieja. Fue coronel y, en 1774, teniente gobernador de Yapeyú. -Mariano 08:09, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
The thing is that there was no Argentina when he was bourne, he was bourne in the territory of what today is the province of Corrientes, Argentina. But yes, he was argentinian, as he himself said in his testament. (for more information go to the discussion page in spanish)
