| Additional information |
Juan Pablo Viscardo y Guzmán was a Jesuit-trained creole priest who, after the expulsion of the Jesuits from Spanish territories in 1767, spent decades in exile drafting what became the most influential pro-independence text in Latin American history. His Carta a los españoles americanos, written in 1792 and circulated posthumously by Francisco de Miranda, framed Spanish colonial rule as a 210-year-old crime against natural rights. He never saw independence — he died in London in 1798, nearly a quarter century before Peru achieved it.
