Fact...Jose de San Martin

[Hedgehog]

Jose de San Martin (1778-1850) is Argentina's national hero. After successfully liberating Argentina from Spain in 1816, he went on to help liberate Chile and Peru. A polite and sophisticated man, he was dispirited by the internal power squabbles that followed independence, and left to spend the rest of his life in France.

Countless streets, neighborhoods, cities and institutions bearing his name .-
