The name of National Reconstruction (Spanish: Reconstrucción Nacional) is given to the period following the War of the Pacific, which ended through the signing of the Treaty of Ancón on October 20, 1883. It takes place between the civil wars of 1884–1885 and 1894–1895, when an economic, political and social resurgence took place (although some historians extend it to 1919, when the presidency of Augusto B. Leguía begins). During this period, what was known as the Second Militarism (Spanish: Segundo militarismo) took place, also known as the Militarism of the defeat (Spanish: Militarismo de la derrota) in contrast to that which followed Peruvian Independence.
