The fall of the viceregal system and the birth of the Republic of Peru, generated various responses in those who lived through such a complex process. The elite - both peninsular and criollo in origin - had to make hasty decisions in face of the fluctuations of the moment, particularly unfavorable for the sector loyal to the crown. The realistas (or fidelistas) were the big losers in those changes. This thesis analyzes two behaviors that could not be more contrasted among those who opposed the breakup with Spain. They were two sides of the same coin: one was represented by Gaspar Antonio de Osma, a peninsular bureaucrat linked to Lima´s commercial aristocracy, while the other was a military nobleman of ancient ancestry in Cuzco and Lima. While the former -being Spanish- chose to adapt to independent Peru, the latter -having been born on these lands- refused to do so, emigrating to Spain. These cases show two extreme positions, which were possibly the margins of a range of options. That of the peninsular who remained in republican Peru, next to his family, must have been less traumatic than that of the uprooted army officer from his place of origin. Osma was able to adapt to the new system while his counterpart, Zavala, achieved no more success than a few honorary distinctions, before returning at the end of his life to die in a country that, paradoxically, was going through a more stable situation than mid XIXth century Spain.
