'''Jose de San Martin''' (1778-1850) was a general who led [[Argentina]], [[Chile]], and [[Peru]] to independence during the revolutions in the Spanish Colonies.
He resigned from the Spanish army in 1811 and moved to [[England]], where his new-found sympathy for colonial independence dovetailed with a British desire to reduce Spanish influence in the Americas. He sailed to [[Buenos Aires]] on a British frigate, and a brilliant six-year campaign, including an audacious crossing of the [[Andes]], drove royalist forces from the whole of southern [[South America]].
