	Potosí - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the War of Independence (1809-1825, see History of Bolivia) Potosi was frequently passed from the control of Royalist and Patriot forces.
		Major blunders by the First Argentine Auxiliary Army (under the command of Castelli) led to an increased sense that independence was needed and fostered resentment towards Argentina.
		During that occupation there was anarchy and martial excess, and Potosi became unfriendly to the point where it could not be defended.

		Spain's proudest possession in the New World was the great silver mine of Potosi in Upper Peru (present-day Bolivia), whose flow of treasure attained immense proportions between 1579 and 1635.
		One more thing should be noted in estimating the wealth of Potosi; namely, that accounts have been kept of only the silver that was marked and taxed.
		And those who know the mines well conclude that at that time the bulk of the silver mined at Potosi paid no tax, and that this included all the silver in circulation among the Indians, and much of that in use among the Spaniards, as I could observe during my stay in that country.

	Common-place: The High Place: Potosi
		From the start, Potosi silver was subject to a duty of "the royal fifth," which by now had become a mainstay of public finance (in some years approximating 25 percent of total Crown revenues).

		The people of Potosi are against that: 97 per cent of them said in a poll they would rather starve than see the silhouette of El Cerro disappear and, with it, the World Heritage title.
