The Spanish Conquest and Colonial Era

In the 16th century, the Spanish arrival in Peru ushered in a seismic shift in the region's history.

Led by conquistadors such as Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish sought to conquer and colonize the Inca empire.

The ensuing conflict resulted in the collapse of the Inca civilization and the establishment of Spanish rule over Peru for the next three centuries.

The Spanish brought with them their language, religion, and political systems, which had a profound impact on Peruvian society.

Independence and the Republican Era

In the early 19th century, Peru embarked on a path towards independence from Spain.

Inspired by the ideals of the Enlightenment and the leadership of Simón Bolívar, Peruvians fought for their freedom and eventually achieved independence in 1821.

The subsequent Republican era has been marked by periods of stability, political turmoil, and economic growth.

20th-Century Peru

The 20th century was a period of significant change and development for Peru.

The country faced economic challenges, social unrest, and political instability, but also made strides in areas such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

The latter half of the century saw Peru emerge as a major player in South America, thanks to its rich natural resources and a growing economy.
