Send a Postcard In the 1500s, Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro explored the Incan empire and the area known as Machu Picchu. He certainly was attracted to all the riches of these people. Therefore, he returned to Spain to acquire men for another journey to this continent. After returning in 1533, he captured and executed the emperor Atahualpa. Pizarro founded Lima, but was assassinated not much later. The Incas also suffered with a beheading of leader Manco Inca in 1572. This put a close on the powerful empire. Lima was quiet peaceful for a while, although a short rebellion occurred by the Indians against the colonials. Peru remained under Spanish influence until the country was freed by two leaders: Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin in 1824. In 1965 other uprisings occurred led by the National Liberation Army; these uprisings carried through until the 1980s. In 1990, Alberto Fujimori was elected President and in 1992, the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) leaders were captured. These events did not allow for any peace for Peru to ensue.

    Extractions: By Ekaterina Zhdanova-Redman The history of Peru is full of great achievements and awful defeats. From the advanced Inca Empire to its overthrow by Spanish forces, the country of Peru has seen many changes throughout its history. And all of this is in one of the most harsh and inhospitable environments in the world. Human history in Peru dates back about 10,000 years when travelers from the north settled in Peru's spectacular Andes Mountains. These ancient Peruvians were farmers and fishermen who lived in simple adobe houses. For the most part, these early Peruvians were unorganized, but some banded together into small, regional groups with individual leaders. One of the oldest groups was the Kingdom of ChavÒn. These groups mastered agriculture, many art forms, and developed road systems, and architecture. Such developments were important to the success of Peru's Inca Empire, which ruled the country and its neighbors for hundreds of years. One of these small groups was the Incas of Cusco, which in the 13th century began to grow. The Incas slowly included their neighbors into their fold until the 15th century. It was under the rule of the great Inca emperor, Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, when the Incas grew tremendously. Under Pachacuti and his son, Topa, the Incas came to rule almost a third of all of South America.

Although hunter gatherers lived in Peru as long ago as the eighth millennium BC, there is little evidence of organized village life until about 2500 BC. A change in climate in the coastal regions prompted Peru's early inhabitants to move toward the more fertile interior river valleys. For the next 1500 years, Peruvian civilization developed into a number of organized cultures, including the Chavìn and the Sechìn. The Chavìn are known for their striking figurative idols of animals (the jaguar in particular). The Sechìn are noted more for their military supremacy than for their cultural achievements. The decline of the Chavìn and Sechìn cultures around the 5 th century BC gave rise to a number of distinctive regional cultures. The Paracas culture on the coast saw artistic and technological advances such as kiln-fired ceramics and fine weaving techniques. From the Paracas arose the Nazca, whose legacy includes the gigantic and enigmatic Nazca Lines. However, these early Peruvian civilizations seem to pale in comparison to the robust pre-Columbian civilization of the Inca.

Guestbook Peru, History Evidence of settlement in Peru dates back thousands of years but, except for some scattered ruins, little is known of these early peoples. In about 1250 BC groups such as the Chavín, Chimú, Nazca, and Tiahuanaco migrated into the region from the north. The Chimú built the city of Chan Chan about AD 1000, ruins of which remain today. The Inca , a South American people, built one of the largest and wealthiest empires in the western hemisphere beginning in the mid-1400s. Located on the western coast of South America, the empire extended more than 4000 km (more than 2500 mi) and included regions of present-day Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina. The city of Cuzco, situated in southern Peru, served as the Inca capital. A. Inca Empire

    Extractions: In 1532, the Spanish military man Francisco Pizarro landed in Peru along with about 180 adventurers. Conditions were favorable to conquest, for the empire was debilitated by a just-concluded civil war between the heirs to the Inca throne, Atahualpa and Huascar, each of whom was seeking to control the empire. This internal dissension, plus the terror inspired by Spanish guns and horses (unknown to the indigenous peoples until then) made it relatively easy for only a handful of Spaniards to conquer this vast empire. The Spaniards met Atahualpa, the victor, in the civil war, and his army at a prearranged conference at Cajamarca in 1532. When Atahualpa arrived, the Spaniards ambushed and seized him, and killed thousands of his followers. Although Atahualpa paid the most fabulous ransom known to history (a room full of gold and another full of silver) for his freedom, the Spaniards murdered him in 1533.

    Extractions: History of the Economy Peru Table of Contents Through the nineteenth century and into the mid-twentieth century, the great majority of the Peruvian population depended on agriculture and lived in the countryside. By 1876 Lima was the only Peruvian city with over 100,000 peopleonly 4 percent of the population. Much of the impetus for economic growth came from primary exports. In common with the rest of Latin America up to the 1930s, Peru maintained an open economic system with little government intervention and few restrictions on either imports or foreign investment. Such investment became highly important in the twentieth century, especially in the extraction of raw materials for export. For many Latin American countries, the impact of falling export prices and curtailed external credit in the Great Depression of the 1930s led to fundamental changes in economic policies. Many governments began to raise protection against imports in order to stimulate domestic industry and to take more active roles in shaping economic change. But Peru held back from this common move and kept on with a relatively open economy. That put it behind many other countries in post-World War II industrialization and led to increasing pressures for change. Significant protection started in the 1960s, accompanied by both new restrictions on foreign investment and a more active role of government in the economy.

    Extractions: History Peru Table of Contents The first great conquest of Andean space began some 10,000 years ago when the descendants of the original migrants who crossed the land bridge over what is now the Bering Straits between the Asian and American continents reached northern South America. Over the next several millennia, hunter-gatherers fanned out from their bridgehead at Panama to populate the whole of South America. By about 2500 B.C., small villages inhabited by farmers and fishermen began to spring up in the fertile river valleys of the north coast of Peru. These ancient Peruvians lived in simple adobe houses, cultivated potatoes and beans, fished in the nearby sea, and grew and wove cotton for their clothing. The catalyst for the development of the more advanced civilizations that followed was the introduction of a staple annual cropmaize (corn), and the development of irrigation, both dating from around the thirteenth century B.C. The stabilization of the food supply and ensuing surplus formed the foundation for the development of the great civilizations that rose and fell across the Andes for more than a thousand years prior to the arrival of the Europeans. The Incas, of course, were only the most recent of these highly developed native American cultures to evolve in the Andes. The earliest central state to emerge in the northern highlands (that is, a state able to control both highland and coastal areas) was the Kingdom of Chavín, which emerged in the northern highlands and prospered for some 500 years between 950 B.C. and 450 B.C. Although it was originally thought by Julio C. Tello, the father of Peruvian archaeology, to have been "the womb of Andean civilization," it now appears to have had Amazonic roots that may have led back to Mesoamerica.

    Extractions: As the population of Peru grew from a small handful of settlers in 1792 to 1,923 in 1810 and 2,710 by 1820, other settlements within Peru's boundaries came into being. Goshen, Lapham's Mills or Bartonville, Peasleeville, Port Jackson, later Valcour and Peru Landing all contributed to the town's growth. The bustling Lake Champlain ports of Peru Landing and Port Jackson led to railroads and stations built at Valcour, Lapham's Mills and Peru Village. Churches, schools, businesses and ever expanding industries all increased in number throughout the township. Peru has an exceptionally rich past in the form of military history. Its Lake Champlain shores saw much activity during the French and Indian War period. The lake was the main north-south corridor for war parties of Native Americans and French and British armies. Benedict Arnold's most important Revolutionary War naval engagement with the British at the Battle of Valcour Oct. 11, 1776 took place within the town. The War of 1812 brought forth the Peru militia under the leadership of Capt. David Cochran. They fired the first shots in the victorious and decisive Battle of Plattsburgh in Sept., 1814. The opening of Plattsburgh Air Force Base in 1955 brought thousands of military personnel to the area. The majority of those personnel resided within the Peru Central School District. The school district grew from 800 students to over 3,000 necessitating the building of four new schools.

    Extractions: The Andes region expands through much of South America (including Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and North of Chile), and therefore innumerous quantities of rhythms, musical styles and melodies each stemming from particular areas fit under the term: "traditional Andean music." The most familiar of these rhythms, styles or melodies are the: Huayno, Sikuri, San Juanito, Carnavalito, Trote, Saya, Tuntunas, Huaylas, Yaravi, Marinera, Cueca, Pandilla, Llamerada, Cuyahuada, Bailecito, Pasillo, San Juan, Albaso, Diablada, Tondero, Samba, etc. The instruments that the natives use (and/or the different materials with which they make them) are also particular to specific areas, and are directly related to the natural elements at hand for the making of the instruments. While in one area the back of a charango might be made with the carcass of an armadillo, in another it might be made with the shell of a tortoise; while in one area the sikus flute (pan flute) might be made from thin and long bamboo, producing a windy sound, in another area it might be made with thick and wide bamboo, producing a full sound, or, while in one area a dried gourd (the Guiro) might be used for percussion, in another a dried bean pod (the Vaina) might serve instead; etc. Following is a partial list of native and string instruments used in Andean music:
