In 1838 General Santa Cruz created the Peruvian - Bolivian Confederation, and established as flag a red field with the three shields of the constituent states in the center united by some interlaced garlands.
The Peruvian - Bolivian Confederation was formed by three states:
In 1839, General Santa Cruz was overthrown and the confederation was disbanded.

In the Flags of the World edition of the National Geographic magazine of
1917 I have found the following flag for South Peru (no 445):
Vertically divided, near the hoist red, the fly horizontally divided green
over white. In the upper corner near the hoist a yellow crescent pointing
towards the fly, between the points are four stars arranged in an arc. In
the text is said that 1835 - 37 Nothing is mentioned about a flag for North
Peru. Perhaps this means that the northern part continued to use the
red-white-red peruvian flag.
