Description

Peru is a land of majesty and wonder where myth, legend, and history all come together. And this book gives you a front-row seat!

The land of Peru is one that, for many, seems far away and distant. Even for those living relatively nearby geographically, Peru can seem just out of reach. After all, Peru is situated high in the Andes on the western coast of South America. Those who dare to live at this high of an elevation have learned to live on their own terms.

The Inca leader Manco II, for example, displayed his tenacity by heading a rebel kingdom in the depths of the Amazon even after much of the Inca Empire of his ancestors had been overrun by the Spanish conquistadors.

Manco's struggle was later picked up by Túpac Amaru II, who waged war against the Spanish occupation. Túpac Amaru II would be captured and executed for daring to revolt against the Spanish Crown, but his legend would live on in the hearts and minds of Peruvians everywhere.

Fast forward to Peru's independence from Spain, and one finds the heroic Simón Bolívar. He was pivotal in the independence of Peru, as well as a whole slew of Latin American countries, which he was put in charge of at various times during his dynamic career.

Great heroes like Simón Bolívar certainly stand out, but so do other intriguing and captivating characters from Peru's past. From the great Inca ruler Atahualpa to Francisco Pizarro to modern-day Peruvian presidents like Alberto Fujimori and Dina Boluarte, Peru has quite a story to tell!

In this book, you will learn about the following:

• The origins of Peruvian civilization

• The rise and fall of the Inca Empire

• The explorations of conquistadors like Francisco Pizarro

• Revolutionaries like Túpac Amaru II and resistance to Spanish rule

• Peru's struggle for independence

• The War of the Pacific and Peru's relations with other Latin American countries

• Peru's fight against narco-terrorists, such as Shining Path

• And so much more!
