San Martin
What tactics did hosé de San Martin and Simon Bolivar use to defeat Spanish forces in South America?
homework.
Some excerpts from: http://www.militaryheritage.com/bolivar.htm
Using speed and surprise, he would defeat units of the Spanish army. He also recruited from the enemy by offering amnesty for deserters, threatening to kill captured Spaniards.
Bolivar began circulating proclamations, making up stories about supposed victories in various areas of the country, building an image of himself everywhere and invincible.
Gradually, though, he realized that the only way to achieve a level of professionalism to match the enemy was to form a foreign legion. He began raising money and his agents found great interest among the 30,000 recently discharged soldiers of the British army.
From http://latinamericanmusings.wordpress.com/2009/02/25/today-in-latin-america-jose-francisco-de-san-martin/ :
San Martín used espionage, disinformation and other tactics to gain the upper hand.
