| | History of Peru |
| | Chile defeated its opponents, occupied Lima, and, under the Treaty of Ancón (1884), was awarded Peru's nitrate province of Tarapacá. | | | Creoles grew to resent the fact that the Spanish government awarded all important government positions in the colonies to Spaniards born in Spain, who were called peninsulares. | | | In 1822 leaders of the colony’s independence movement created a centralized government consisting of a president and a single-chambered legislature. |

| | Girón's execution (Dec. 1554) put an end to the last of the civil wars among the conquerors; and through the conciliatory and energetic measures of Andres Hurtado de Mendoza, the third viceroy, the county was at last pacified, and the authority of Spain firmly established. | | | As the representative of the King of Spain the viceroy was vested with almost absolute powers, and besides his executive functions he discharged those of Vice-Patron of the Church, President of the Audiencia, captain-general of the army, and Superintendent of the Royal Exchequer. | | | Perhaps the glory of conquering Peru would have fallen upon Balboa had not the jealousy of his chief, Pedro Arias de Avila, Governor of Panama, cut short his brilliant career. |

| | Peru emerged from 20 years of dictatorship in 1945 with the inauguration of President José Luis Bustamente y Rivero after the first free election in many decades. | | | Early in his presidency, he gave himself a significant pay raise while at the same time calling for economic austerity. | | | For a hundred years thereafter, revolutions were frequent; a new war was fought with Spain in 1864–1866, and an unsuccessful war was fought with Chile from 1879 to 1883 (the War of the Pacific). |

| | Since November 2002, when autocratic President Alberto Fujimori resigned in disgrace, Peru has made a remarkable comeback in rebuilding democratic institutions and promoting a more market-based economy. | | | Economist Alejandro Toledo won the presidency in 2001 in elections that were largely free and fair. | | | Since then, devolution of authority from the national government to district and local levels, reduction of corruption, adoption of a bicameral legislature, and pursuit of free trade with the United States and Mexico have dominated national politics. |

| | At one time Peru was the homeland of several prominent Andean civilizations, with the Incas certainly the most notable. | | | In 1980, Peru finally returned to democratic leadership, but even today, the new presidential administration is hampered by allegations of corruption and mismanagement. | | | For almost three hundred years Peru functioned as a Spanish colony, but in the early 19th century native discontent and colonist revolts brought calls of independence, localized uprisings, and then, civil war in 1821, with the Spanish finally defeated in 1824. |
