Abstract

The Peruvian’s triumph against the Spanish fleet in the batt­le of Callao (2-V-1866) created the most popular moment in the still-fresh dictatorship of Colonel Mariano Ignacio Prado. Nevertheless, not even this outstanding victory could help overcome the lack of strength and legitimacy of Prado’s regime, as evidenced by the events that occurred in reaction to the appointment of American Rear Admiral John R. Tucker as chief of the Peruvian Naval Force of the Allied Task Force. Indeed, Prado’s government lasted no more than three years.
