Bolívar, the Liberator of the North, and San Martín, the Liberator of the South had rushed both to Guayaquil. They both come from long battles fought to free South America from the Spanish rule, but the task is not complete. Still many places are loyalist, mostly the Peruvian mountains. Bolívar and San Martín are both ambitious leaders. Bolívar has freed New Granada, Venezuela and Quito. San Martín has done the same with Rio de La Plata, Chile and Lima. Now, the way history will develop will depend on how they agree to join efforts for that last push.
