Battle of Huamachuco
The Battle of Huamachuco (July 10, 1883) was the last battle of the War of the Pacific; the Peruvian defeat paved the way for the treaty of Ancon that finally put an end to the war. One of Peru's greatest heroes, Colonel Leoncio Prado, also died as a consequence of this battle.
