Location:
Located on the central part of
western South America, Peru is hemmed in by the Pacific
Ocean .It covers an area of 1,285,215 km2 (about the combined
size of Spain, France and Italy) making it one of the 20 largest
countries on Earth.
Capital: Lima
Language: Spanish
History:
Before the arrival of the first Europeans, most of the Peru
belonged to the Inca empire that extended from present-day
Ecuador
to central Chile.
The Incas conquered the Andean people and fostered among the most
advanced of ancient American civilizations. The Inca Empire ended with
the conquest of its heartland and Capital Cuzco (1531-1533) by the
Spaniards under Francisco Pizarro.
In 1535, Lima was founded and soon became the capital of the Viceroyalty
of Peru. The establishment of the viceroyalties of New Granada (1739) in
the north and La Plata (1776) in the south greatly reduced the extent
and power of the colonial administration centered in Lima. Peru declared
its independence in 1821, following an uprising by local European
(Creole) inhabitants against the Spanish colonial rule, which came to an
end only in late 1824.Peru went to war with Spain (1864-1871); and then
in 1879 Peru, together with Bolivia, fought a four-year war with Chile
over possession of the nitrate-rich northern part of the Atacama desert.
During the first half of the twentieth century, Peru had eighteen
presidents many of whom assumed dictatorial powers. A boundary dispute
with Colombia
was settled in 1932 by the withdrawal of Peru from a large area in the
Amazon plain. A boundary dispute with Ecuador
was settled after a short war in favor of Peru (1942), but the dispute
was revived in 1981.
