The Peruvian Civil War of 1856–1858 was the third internal conflict in 19th century Peru (after the Peruvian civil war of 1834 and Peruvian civil war of 1843–1844). It was fought between the Liberals (supporters of Ramón Castilla) and the Conservatives (who opposed Castilla). It followed the Peruvian Liberal Revolution of 1854. 3,000 people were killed on both sides.
