Born in [[Yapeyu]], Argentina, his family took him to [[Spain]] at a young age. His military career began at age 11 in 1789, fighting with the Spanish against the French in the [[Revolutionary Wars]]. He achieved great distinction throughout the [[Napoleonic Wars]], being decorated for his part in the [[Battle of Ballen]], and reaching the rank of [[Lieutenant Colonel]]. During this time he became acquainted with supporters of South American independence.

He resigned from the Spanish army in 1811 and moved to [[England]], where his new-found sympathy for colonial independence dovetailed with a British desire to reduce Spanish influence in the Americas. He sailed to [[Buenos Aires]] on a British frigate, and a brilliant six-year campaign, including an audacious crossing of the Andes, drove royalist forces from the whole of southern South America.
