Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
How it ended, as its article says
Dissolved, 1839-01-20. Read from the article's section “History - Dissolution” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
He was defeated in the Battle of Yungay on 20 January 1839, and thus, the Confederation was dissolved, with Gamarra announcing its dissolution on 25 August.

Rulers
The line of Supreme Protector of the Peru–Bolivian Confederation.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andrés de Santa Cruz | 1836 – 1839 | 3 years | left office aliveread off the dates alone | |
| Pío de Tristán | 1837 – 1837 | under a year | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1836 – 1839. Only 3 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 1 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 1.00, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

Of 3 theories of why states fall, 1 has every condition present at this ending; each is applied by its own logic, condition by condition, and whether its authors named this case is a footnote.

Applies by its own logic: 2 of its 3 conditions held here (it needs 2), and this is the kind of outcome it predicts — unrest, adverse regime change or the state's ending.
- overlapping reigns — rival claimants — within 20 y, or 3 or more changes of ruler within 20 y, or 2 or more reigns of two years or less within 20 y, or a monarch deposed or killed within 20 y — rivalClaimants -2
