    — Peruvians proudly singing their national anthem

    Peruball, officially the Republic of Peruball, is a countryball in western South America. Its closest neighbors are Brazil-icon.png Brazilball to the east, Colombia-icon.png Colombiaball to the north, Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball to the northwest, Chile-icon.png Chileball to the south, Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball to the southeast and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The country is divided into 24 departments (25 if you include Callao-icon.png Callaoball), including its capital, Lima-icon.png Limaball (which has 43 districts), giving him a total area of 496,200 square miles, making him the third-largest country in South America, and the 19th in the world. With a total population of about 33.3 million as of 2021, he ranks as the 43rd most populous country in the world.

    He currently maintains an active membership in OAS-icon.png OASball, Pacific Alliance-icon.png Pacific Allianceball, and of course UN-icon.png UNball, like most other nations.

    As it was said before, Peruball is a countryball that have been almost always betrayed in many conflicts, it has been tried to be invaded by its neighborhood several times, he thinks it is because has he is one of the richest countries in resources in the world. That has caused some distrust in him, but still being a hospitable, kind, and happy countryball. Still, he gets annoyed when people call him Canada and when Chile is around (but they basically still have a feeling of brotherhood among them).

    Nowadays he welcomes Venezuelan refugees (chamos o venecos) and immigrants to live in his. Its national day is July 28th.

    Personality[edit | edit source]

    Peruball is kind, Llamaholic, rich and stronk, he usually makes many friends in the world. He is kind of smart and likes agriculture. He also takes religion far too seriously, since he loves going to the church.

    He has developed PTSD from any symbol or representation of socialism, communism and/or leftism because of 2 rebel organizations called Shining Path-icon.png "Sendero Luminoso" and MRTA-icon.png "Movimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru" which committed various atrocities and crimes against the people living in the central regions of the country, causing his people to develop a strong hatred for far-left ideologies, and sometimes even of any left-wing ideology, even if it's moderate or not socialist/communist.

    He also gets mad when people confuse him for Canada-icon.png Canadaball.

    History[edit | edit source]

    A short history of Peru

    3-icon.png Early history (3ball, Kingdom of Cuzcoball, Kingdom of Huari, Inca Empireball)[edit | edit source]

    The history of this nation is not so known by most people, the history of Peruball is of very large, ranging from an unknown date BC to 2018 and is also not so known since no European had touched the Americas no other than Spanish-Empire-icon.png Christopher Columbus, he tried to go to India using a method that surpassed the Atlantic Ocean and entered the Pacific Ocean (which is the reason the Suez Canal was built), if the Americas did not exist he would have died but in this case, Cuba-icon.png Cubaball's clay saved his life and he explored the island of Cubaball at one point that he colonized most of the Caribbean.

    Before that, there are three theories of how 1-icon.png 1balls reached Peruball's clay.

    One is that the Qing-icon.png Chinese and Malaysia-icon.png Malaysians and Peruball's coast are so many Chinese Peruvians around there, another one claims that Antarctica-icon.png Antarcticaball almost anschlussed all of used to border Tasmania-icon.png Tasmaniaball so people went through Antarctica-icon.png Antarticaball and reached what is now, the Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego-icon.png Tierra del Fuegoball and Magallanes-icon.png Magallanesball. (Owned by Chileball and Argentinaball) and the most famous one, claims that the Tsardom of Russia-icon.png Russians passed through the Bering Strait during the ice age and arrived in Peru following the Andes Mountains and started to live there but the ice age ended and some evolution happens so now 1-icon.png 1balls (now proud 3-icon.png 3balls) have to live in a continent that nobody knows about... until 1492.

    Hunting tools dating back to more than 11,000 years ago have been found inside the caves of Pachacamac, Telarmachay, Junin and Lauricocha. Some of the oldest civilizations appeared circa 6000 BC in the coastal provinces of Chilcaball and Paracasball, and in the highland province of Callejón de Huaylas. Over the following three thousand years, inhabitants switched from nomadic lifestyles to cultivating land, as evidence from sites such as Jiskairumoko, Kotosh and Huaca Prietademonstrates. Cultivation of plants such as corn and cotton began, as well as the domestication of animals such as the wild ancestors of the llama, the alpaca and the guinea pig, as seen in the 6000BC-dated Camelid relief paintings in the Mollepunko caves in Callalli. Inhabitants practised spinning and knitting of cotton and wool, basketry and pottery.

    As these inhabitants became sedentary, farming allowed them to build settlements and new societies emerged along the coast and in the Andean mountains. The first known city in the Americas was Caral, located in the Supe Valley 200 km north of Lima. It was built in approximately 2500 BC.

    What is left from the civilization, also called Norte Chico Civilization-icon.png Norte Chico Civilizationball, is about 30 pyramidal structures built up in receding terraces ending in a flat roof; some of them measured up to 20 meters in height. Caral is one of the world centers of the rise of civilization.

    In the early 21st century, archaeologists have discovered new evidence of ancient pre-Ceramic complex cultures. In 2005 Tom D. Dillehay and his team announced the discovery of three irrigation canals that were 5,400 years old, and a possible fourth that is 6,700 years old, all in the Zaña Valley in northern Peru, evidence of community activity to support improved agriculture at a much earlier date than previously believed. In 2006, Robert Benfer and a research team discovered a 4,200-year-old observatory at Buena Vista, a site in the Andes several kilometers north of present-day Lima-icon.png Limaball. They believe the observatory was related to the society's reliance on agriculture and understanding the seasons. The site includes the oldest three-dimensional sculptures found thus far in South America. In 2007 the archaeologist Walter Alva and his team found a 4,000-year-old temple with painted murals at Ventarrón, in the northwest Lambayeque region. The temple contained ceremonial offerings gained from an exchange with Peruball's jungle societies, as well as those from Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball's coast. Such finds show sophisticated, monumental construction requiring large-scale organization of labour, suggesting that hierarchical, complex cultures arose in South America much earlier than scholars had thought.

    Many other civilizations developed and were absorbed by the most powerful ones such as Kotoshball, Chavinball, Paracasball, Limaball (Civilization), Nasca Nascaball, Mocheball, Tiwanakuball, Wariball, Lambayequeball (Civilization), Chimuand Chinchaball, among others. The Paracas culture emerged on the southern coast around 300 BC. They are known for their use of vicuña fibres instead of just cotton to produce fine textiles—innovations that did not reach the northern coast of Peruball until centuries later. Coastal cultures such as Mocheball and Nazcaball flourished from about 100 BC to about AD 700: Mocheball produced impressive metalwork, as well as some of the finest pottery seen in the ancient world, while Nazcaball is known for their textiles and the enigmatic Nazca lines.

    These coastal cultures eventually began to decline as a result of recurring el Niño floods and droughts. In consequence, Huariball and Tiwanakuball, who dwelt inland in the Andes became the predominant cultures of the region encompassing much of modern-day Peruball and Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball. They were succeeded by powerful city-states, such as Chancayball, Sipanball, and Cajamarcaball, and two empires: Chimorball and Chachapoyasball. These cultures developed relatively advanced techniques of cultivation, gold and silver craft, pottery, metallurgy, and knitting. Around 700 BC, they appear to have developed systems of social organization that were the precursors of the Inca-icon.png Inca Empireball.

    In the highlands, both the Tiahuanaco culture, near Lake Titicaca in both Peruball and Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball, and Wariball, near the present-day city of Ayacucho-icon.png Ayacuchoball, developed large urban settlements and wide-ranging state systems between 500 and 1000 AD.

    Not all Andean cultures were willing to offer their loyalty to the Cuzcos, which had evolved to the Inca-icon.png Incas as the Incas expanded their empire, and many were openly hostile. The people of the Chachapoyas culture were an example of this, but the Inca-icon.png Inca Empireball eventually conquered and anschlussed them

    The Inca-icon.png Inca Empireball built the largest and most advanced empire and the dynasty of pre-Columbian America. The Tahuantinsuyo—which is derived from Quechua-icon.png Quechua for "The Four United Regions"—reached its greatest extension at the beginning of the 16th century. It dominated a territory that included (from north to south): the southwest part of Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball, part of Colombia-icon.png Colombiaball, the main territory of Peruball, the northern part of Chile-icon.png Chileball, and the northwest part of Argentina-icon.png Argentinaball; and from east to west, from the southwest part of Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball to the Amazonian forests.

    The empire originated from a tribe based in Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball, which became the capital. Pachacutec wasn't the first Inca-icon.png Inca, but he was the first ruler to considerably expand the boundaries of the Cuzco-icon.png Cuzco state- probably he could be compared to Alexander the Great (from Macedonball), Julius Caesar (of the SPQRball), Attila (from the Hunnic Empireball) and Genghis Khan (from the Mongol Empireball). His offspring later ruled an empire by both violent invasions and peaceful conquests- i.e. intermarriages among the rules of small kingdoms and the current Inca-icon.png Inca ruler.

    In Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball, the royal city was created to resemble a cougar; the head, the main royal structure, formed what is now known as Sacsayhuamán. The Empire's administrative, political, and military centre was located in Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball. The empire was divided into four quarters: Chinchaysuyu, Antisuyu, Kuntisuyu and Qullasuyu.

    The official language was Quechua-icon.png Quechua – imposed on the citizens. It was the language of a neighbouring tribe of the original tribe of the empire. Conquered populations—tribes, kingdoms, states, and cities—were allowed to practice their own religions and lifestyles, but had to recognize Inca-icon.png Inca cultural practices as superior to their own. Inti, the sun god, was to be worshipped as one of the most important gods of the empire. His representation on earth was the Inca-icon.png Inca ("Emperor").

    The Tawantinsuyu was organized in dominions with a stratified society, in which the ruler was the Inca-icon.png Inca. It was also supported by an economy based on the collective property of the land.

    Many unusual customs were observed, for example, the extravagant feast of Inti Raymi which gave thanks to the God Sun, and the young women who were the Virgins of the Sun, sacrificial virgins devoted to the Inti. The empire, being quite large, also had an impressive transportation system of roads to all points of the empire called the Inca Trail, and chasquis, message carriers who relayed information from anywhere in the empire to Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball.

    Machu Picchu (Quechua for "old peak"; sometimes called the "Lost City of the Incas") is a well-preserved pre-Columbian Inca ruin located on a high mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley, about 70 km (44 mi) northwest of Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball. Elevation measurements vary depending on whether the data refers to the ruin or the extremity of the mountain; Machu Picchu tourist information reports the elevation as 2,350 m (7,711 ft). Forgotten for centuries by the outside world, although not by locals, it was brought back to international attention by Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham III, who rediscovered it in 1911 and wrote a best-selling work about it. Peruball is pursuing legal efforts to retrieve thousands of artifacts that Bingham removed from the site that are in possession at Yale. Bingham sold them to Yale.

    Although Machu Picchu is by far the most well known internationally, Peruball boasts many other sites where the modern visitor can see extensive and well-preserved ruins, remnants of the Inca-icon.png Inca-period and even older constructions. Much of the Inca-icon.png Inca architecture and stonework found at these sites continues to confound archaeologists. For example, at Sacsaywaman in Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball the zig-zag-shaped walls are composed of massive boulders fitted very precisely to one another's irregular, angular shapes. No mortar holds them together, but nonetheless they have remained absolutely solid through the centuries, surviving earthquakes that flattened many of the colonial constructions of Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball. Damage to the walls visible today was mainly inflicted during battles between the Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish Empireball and Inca-icon.png Inca Empireball, as well as later, in the colonial era. As Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball grew, the walls of Sacsaywaman were partially dismantled, the site becoming a convenient source of construction materials for the city's newer inhabitants. It is still not known how these stones were shaped and smoothed, lifted on top of one another (they really are very massive), or fitted together by the Incas; we also do not know how they transported the stones to the site in the first place. The stone used is not native to the area and most likely came from mountains many kilometers away.

    The glorious and legendary Inca-icon.png Inca Empireball conquered some tribes, extended his empire then conquered some tribes again but COULDN'T CONQUER A SINGLE PATAGONIAN TRIBE, in case you don't know who it was, he was Mapuche-icon.png Mapucheball, now you may be asking yourself why such a legendary and powerful empire couldn't kill off a single tribe on Patagonia? Nobody knows, there's a theory that claims that the Mapuche were Britons in disguise, meaning that Britain discovered America, Illuminati-icon.png Trilluminati!!!! The reason is currently unknown and that question doesn't really matter so yeah.

    There was a famine on 1525 and later a civil war between the two brothers Atahualpa and Huascar who both wanted to become the next ruler of the empire since their father (who was the emperor before this all happened) died, but we'll get into that later.

    As the civil war advanced, Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish Empireball expanded their colonial empire up to most of modern-day Colombia-icon.png Colombiaball.

    Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish colonization era (Viceroyalty of Peruball)[edit | edit source]

    When Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish Empireball landed in 1531, Peruball's territory was the nucleus of the highly developed Inca civilization. Centred at Cuzco, Inca-icon.png Inca Empireball extended over a vast region, stretching from southwest Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball to northern Chile-icon.png Chileball.

    Spanish-Empire-icon.png Francisco Pizarro and his brothers were attracted by the news of Inca-icon.png a rich and fabulous kingdom. In 1532, they arrived in the country, which they called Peru. (The forms Biru, Pirú, and Berú are also seen in early records.) According to Raúl Porras Barrenechea, Peru is not a Quechuan nor Caribbean word, but Indo-Hispanic or hybrid.

    In the years between 1524 and 1526, the European germ smallpox, introduced from the conquistadores in Panama-icon.png Panamaball and preceding the Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish conquerors in Peruball through transmission among natives, had swept through Inca-icon.png Inca Empireball. Smallpox caused the death of the Inca-icon.png Incan ruler Huayna Capac as well as most of his family including his heir, caused the fall of the Inca-icon.png Incan political structure and contributed to the civil war between the brothers Atahualpa and Huáscar. Taking advantage of this, Pizarro carried out a coup d'état. On November 16, 1532, while the Atahualpa's victorious army was in an unarmed celebration in Cajamarca, the Spanish lured Inca Atahualpa into a trap during the Battle of Cajamarca. The well-armed 168 Spaniards killed thousands of barely armed Inca soldiers and captured the newly minted Inca-icon.png Inca ruler, causing great consternation among the natives and conditioning the future course of the fight. When Huáscar was killed, Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish Empireball tried and convicted Atahualpa of the murder, executing him by strangulation.

    For a period, Pizarro maintained the ostensible authority of the Inca-icon.png Inca, recognizing Túpac Huallpa as the Inca-icon.png Sapa Inca after Atahualpa's death. But the conqueror's abuses made this facade too obvious. Spanish domination consolidated itself as successive indigenous rebellions were bloodily repressed. By March 23, 1534, Pizarro and the Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish had re-founded the Inca city of Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball as a new Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish colonial settlement.

    Establishing a stable colonial government was delayed for some time by native revolts and bands of the Conquistadores (led by Pizarro and Diego de Almagro) fighting among themselves. A long civil war developed, from which the Pizarros emerged victorious at the Battle of Las Salinas. In 1541, Pizarro was assassinated by a faction led by Diego de Almagro II (El Mozo), and the stability of the original colonial regime was shaken up in the ensuing civil war.

    Despite this, the Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spaniards did not neglect the colonizing process. Its most significant milestone was the foundation of Lima-icon.png Limaball in January 1535, from which the political and administrative institutions were organized. The new rulers instituted an encomienda system, by which the Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish extracted tribute from the local population, part of which was forwarded to Seville in return for converting the natives to Christianity. Title to the land itself remained with the king of Spain-icon.png Spain. As governor of Spanish-Empire-icon.png Peruball, Pizarro used the encomienda system to grant virtually unlimited authority over groups of 3-icon.png 3balls to his soldier companions, thus forming the colonial land-tenure structure. The 3-icon.png indigenous inhabitants of Spanish-Empire-icon.png Peruball were now expected to raise Old World cattle, poultry, and crops for their landlords. Resistance was punished severely, giving rise to the "Black Legend".

    The necessity of consolidating Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish royal authority over these territories led to the creation of a Real Audiencia (Royal Audience). The following year, in 1542, the Viceroyalty of Peruball-icon.png Viceroyalty of Peruball (Virreinato del Perúbola) was established from the Recursive Spanish Empire-icon.png Governorate of New Castileball, Recursive Spanish Empire-icon.png Governorate of New Toledoball, Recursive Spanish Empire-icon.png Governorate of New Andalusiaball, and Recursive Spanish Empire-icon.png Province of Tierra Firmeball, with authority over most of Spanish-ruled South America. (Colombiaball, Ecuadorball, Panamáball and Venezuelaball were split off as the Viceroyalty of New Granada-icon.png Viceroyalty of New Granadaball (Virreinato de Nueva Granadabola) in 1717; and Argentinaball, Boliviaball, Paraguayball, and Uruguayball were set up as the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata-icon.png Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plataball in 1776).

    After Pizarro's death, there were numerous internal problems, and Spain-icon.png Spainball finally sent Blasco Núñez Vela to be Peruball's first viceroy in 1544. He was later killed by Pizarro's brother, Gonzalo Pizarro, but a new viceroy, Pedro de la Gasca, eventually managed to restore order. He captured and executed Gonzalo Pizarro.

    The Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish Empireball created the Viceroyalty of Peruball-icon.png Viceroyalty of Peruball, which was reorganized after the arrival of Viceroy Francisco de Toledo in 1572. He anschlussed Neo-Inca Stateball and executed Tupac Amaru I. He also sought economic development through commercial monopoly and mineral extraction, mainly from the silver mines of Potosí. He reused the Inca-icon.png Inca mita, a forced labour program, to mobilize native communities for mining work. This organization transformed Peruball into the main source of Spanish wealth and power in South America.

    Nevertheless, throughout the eighteenth century, further away from Lima-icon.png Limaball in the provinces, Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish Empireball did not have complete control. Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish Empireball could not govern the provinces without the help of local elite. This local elite, who governed under the title of Curaca, took pride in their Inca-icon.png Incan history. Additionally, throughout the eighteenth century, 3-icon.png indigenous people rebelled against the Spanish. Two of the most important rebellions were that of Juan Santos Atahualpa in 1742 in the Andean jungle provinces of Tarma and Jauja, and Rebellion of Túpac Amaru II in 1780 around the highlands near Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball.

    On October 28, 1746, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck and destroyed Lima and the port of Callao-icon.png Callaoball, causing a tsunami on the coast of Lima-icon.png Limaball, this is one of the most stronkest earthquakes recorded ever.

    In 1808, Napoleonic-icon.png Napoleon invaded the Spanish-Empire-icon.pngPortuguese Empire-icon.png Iberian Peninsula and took the king, King-icon.png Ferdinand VII, hostage. Later in 1812, the Cadíz Cortes, the national legislative assembly of Spain, promulgated a liberal Constitution of Cadiz. These events inspired emancipating ideas between the Spanish-icon.png Spanish Criollo people throughout Spanish America. On Peruball's clay, The Creole rebellion of Huánuco arose in 1812 and the rebellion of Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball arose between 1814 and 1816. Despite these rebellions, the Criollo oligarchy in Peruball remained mostly Spanish-Empire-icon.png Spanish loyalist, which accounts for the fact that the Viceroyalty of Peruball-icon.png Viceroyalty of Peruball became the last redoubt of the Spanish dominion in South America.

    Protectorate of Peru-icon.png Achievement of Independence (Protectorate of Peruball, Republic of Peruball) Peru (1822)-icon.png[edit | edit source]

    Peruball's movement toward independence was launched by an uprising of Spanish-American landowners and their forces, led by José de San Martín of United Provinces of Rio de la Plata-icon.png Argentinaball and Simón Bolívar of Gran Colombia-icon.png Venezuelaball. San Martín, who had displaced the royalists of Patria Vieja-icon.png Chileball after the Battle of Chacabuco, and who had disembarked in Paracas in 1819, led the military campaign of 4,200 soldiers. The expedition which included warships was organized and financed by Patria Vieja-icon.png Chileball which sailed from Valparaíso (city)-icon.png Valparaísoball in August 1820.

    During the 1740s-1810s there were revolts on Lima-icon.png Limaball and other cities wanting independence, there were also rebellions led by 4balls across the country.

    The revolts and rebellions would become part of the Spanish-American Wars of Independence after United Provinces of Rio de la Plata-icon.png Jose de San Martin proclaimed Protectorate of Peru-icon.png Peruball's independence on July 28, 1821, with the words "... From this moment on, Peru is free and independent, by the general will of the people and the justice of its cause that God defends. Long live the homeland! Long live freedom! Long live our independence!"".

    Still, the situation remained changing and emancipation was only completed by December 1824, when General Antonio José de Sucre defeated Zona sublevada-icon (soldier).png Spanish troops at the Battle of Ayacucho. The victory brought about political independence, but there remained indigenous and mestizo supporters of the monarchy, and in Huanta Province, they rebelled from 1825–to 28 in violence sometimes called the war of the punas or the Huanta Rebellion.

    Spainball made futile attempts to regain its former colonies, such as at the Battle of Callao, and only in 1879 finally recognized Peruball's independence.

    After independence, Peruball and its neighbours engaged in intermittent territorial disputes. Peruball asked Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball if he wanted to be part of him (Bolivia used to be named "Alto Perú" or "High Peru"), but he said, "Only if we form a confederation" which Peruball agreed, creating the Peru-Bolivian Confederation-icon.png Peru-Bolivian Confederationball, however Chile-icon.png Chileball, Argentine Confederation-icon.png Argentinaball and some Peruvian citizens didn't agree with this so they declared war on Peru-Bolivian Confederation-icon.png Peru-Boliviaball.

    Peru-Bolivian Confederation-icon.png Peru-Boliviaball lost after three years of fighting in 1839, Peru and Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball will become independent and Argentine Confederation-icon.png Argentinaball gained Jujuyball.

    On 1864, Spain-icon.png Spainball tried to seize control of the Chincha Islands and regain control of their colonies by attacking Callao-icon.png Callaoball, however ​Bolivia-icon.png​​ Boliviaball, Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball and Chile-icon.png Chileball later joined the war, resulting again on a Peruvian victory (and Spain-icon.png Spainball finally recognizing Peruball).

    Peru-icon.png Peruball embarked on a railroad-building program. The American entrepreneur Henry Meiggs built a standard gauge line from Callao-icon.png Callaoball across the Andes to the Interior; striking for Cuzco-icon.png Cuzcoball he built the line and controlled its politics for a while; in the end, he bankrupted himself and the country. President Tomás Guardia contracted with Meiggs in 1871 to build a railroad to the Atlantic. Financial problems forced the government to take over in 1874. The labour conditions were complex, with conflicts arising from different levels of skill and organization among the USA-icon.png North Americans, 2-icon.png Europeans, 8-icon.png blacks, and Qing-icon.png Chinese. Conditions were very brutal for the Qing-icon.png Chinese and led to strikes and violent suppression.

    During the 1870s, Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball dragged Peruball into a war with Chile-icon.png Chileball since Peruball had signed a defence pact with Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball however Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball left Peruball alone and thus, Peruball lost, some of southern Peru is now a part of Chile-icon.png Chileball (RECUPERAREMOS ARICA, CHILENO.)

    After the War of the Pacific, an extraordinary effort of rebuilding began. The government started to initiate a number of social and economic reforms in order to recover from the damage of the war. Political stability was achieved only in the early 1900s.

    In 1894, Nicolás de Piérola, after allying his party with the Civil Party of Peru to organize guerrilla fighters to occupy Lima-icon.png Limaball, ousted Andrés Avelino Cáceres and once again became president of Peruball in 1895. After a brief period in which the military once again controlled the country, civilian rule was permanently established with Pierola's election in 1895. His second term was successfully completed in 1899 and was marked by his reconstruction of a devastated Peruball by initiating fiscal, military, and civil reforms. Until the 1920s, this period was called the "Aristocratic Republic", since most of the presidents were from the social elite.

    During Augusto B. Leguía's periods in government [1908–1912 and 1919–1930, the latter is known as the "Oncenio" (the "Eleventh")], the entrance of American capital became general and the bourgeoisie was favoured. This policy, along with increased dependence on foreign investment, focused opposition from the most progressive sectors of Peruvian society against the landowner oligarchy.

    There was a final peace treaty in 1929, signed between Peruball and Chile-icon.png Chileball and called the Treaty of Lima by which Tacna-icon.png Tacnaball returned to Peru and Peru yielded permanently the formerly rich provinces of Arica (city)-icon.png Aricaball and Tarapaca-icon.png Tarapacaball, but kept certain rights to the port activities in Arica (city)-icon.png Aricaball and restrictions on what Chile-icon.png Chileball can do on those territories.

    On 1924, from Mexico-icon.png Mexicoball, university reform leaders in Peruball who had been forced into exile by the government founded the American People's Revolutionary Alliance, which had a major influence on the country's political life. APRA is thus largely a political expression of the university reform and workers' struggles of the years 1918-1920. The movement draws its influences from the Mexican Revolution and its 1917 Constitution, particularly on issues of agrarianism and indigenism, and to a lesser extent from the Russian revolution. Close to Marxism (its leader, Haya de la Torre, declares that "APRA is the Marxist interpretation of the American reality"), it nevertheless moves away from it on the question of class struggle and on the importance given to the struggle for the political unity of Latin America.

    In 1928, the Socialism-icon.png Peruvian Socialist Party was founded, notably under the leadership of José Carlos Mariátegui, himself a former member of APRA. Shortly afterwards, in 1929, the party created the General Confederation of Workers.

    After the worldwide crisis of 1929, numerous brief governments followed one another. The APRA party had the opportunity to cause system reforms by means of political actions, but it was not successful. This was a nationalistic movement, populist and anti-imperialist, headed by Victor Raul Haya de la Torre in 1924. The Socialism-icon.png Socialist Party of Peru, later the Communism-icon.png Peruvian Communist Party, was created four years later and it was led by Jose C. Mariategui.

    Peru-icon.png Present and modern days (Peruball)[edit | edit source]

    Repression was brutal in the early 1930s and tens of thousands of APRA followers (Apristas) were executed or imprisoned. This period was also characterized by sudden population growth and an increase in urbanization. According to Alberto Flores Galindo, "By the 1940 census, the last that utilized racial categories, mestizos were grouped with whites, and the two constituted more than 53 per cent of the population. Mestizos likely outnumbered the indigenous peoples and were the largest population group."

    During that period of time (1932), Peruball went in an armed conflict with Colombia-icon.png Colombiaball over territory in the Amazon Rainforest, but it was later resolved by League of Nationsball.

    On 1941, Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball and Peruball had so many territorial disputes that they went to war, the war was won by Peruball super quickly and Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball had to give (or recognize) Loreto-icon.png Loretoball to Peruball,

    Some period of time after that, on February 12, 1944, Peruball was one of the South American nations – following Brazil-icon.png Brazilball on August 22, 1942, Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball on April 7, 1943, and Colombia-icon.png Colombiaball on July 26, 1943, to align with the Allied forces against the Axis.

    Following the Allied victory in World War II by September 2, 1945, in the mid-20th century Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre (founder of the APRA), together with José Carlos Mariátegui (leader of the Peruvian Communist Party), were two major forces in Peruball's politics. Ideologically opposed, they both managed to create the first political parties that tackled the social and economic problems of the country. Although Mariátegui died at a young age, Haya de la Torre was twice elected president, but prevented by the Military-icon.png military from taking office. During World War II, the country rounded up around 2,000 of its Japan-icon.png Japanese immigrant population and shipped them to USA-icon.png USAball as part of the Japanese-American internment program.

    President Bustamante y Rivero hoped to create a more democratic government by limiting the power of the military and the oligarchy. Elected with the cooperation of the APRA, the conflict soon arose between the President-icon.png President and Haya de la Torre. Without the support of the APRA party, Bustamante y Rivero found his presidency severely limited. The President-icon.png President disbanded his Aprista cabinet and replaced it with a mostly military one. In 1948, Minister Manuel A. Odria and other right-wing elements of the Cabinet urged Bustamante y Rivero to ban the APRA, but when the President refused, Odría resigned his post.

    In a military coup on October 29, Gen. Manuel A. Odria became the new President. Odría's presidency was known as the Ochenio. He came down hard on APRA, momentarily pleasing the oligarchy and all others on the right, but followed a Populism-icon.png populist course that won him great favour with the poor and lower classes. A thriving economy allowed him to indulge in expensive but crowd-pleasing social policies. At the same time, however, civil rights were severely restricted and corruption was rampant throughout his régime.

    It was feared that his Dictator-icon.png dictatorship would run indefinitely, so it came as a surprise when Odría allowed new elections. During this time, Fernando Belaúnde Terry started his political career and led the slate submitted by the National Front of Democratic Youth. After the National Election Board refused to accept his candidacy, he led a massive protest, and the striking image of Belaúnde walking with the flag was featured by newsmagazine Caretas the following day, in an article entitled "Así Nacen Los Lideres" ("Thus Are Leaders Born"). Belaúnde's 1956 candidacy was ultimately unsuccessful, as the dictatorship-favoured right-wing candidacy of Manuel Prado Ugarteche took first place.

    Belaúnde ran for President-icon.png president once again in the National Elections Of 1962, this time with his own party, Acción Popular (Popular Action). He ended in second place, following Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre (APRA), by less than 14,000 votes. Since none of the candidates managed to get the Constitutionally-established minimum of one-third of the vote required to win outright, selection of the President-icon.png President should have fallen to Congress; the long-held antagonistic relationship between the Military-icon.png military and APRA prompted Haya de la Torre to make a deal with former Dictator-icon.png dictator Odria, who had come in third, which would have resulted in Odria taking the Presidency in a coalition government.

    However, widespread allegations of fraud prompted Peru-icon (soldier).png Peruball's military to depose Prado and install a Military-icon.png military junta, led by Ricardo Perez Godoy. Godoy ran a short transitional government and held new elections in 1963, which were won by Belaúnde by a more comfortable but still narrow five per cent margin.

    Throughout Latin America in the 1960s, Communism-icon.png communist movements inspired by the Cuban Revolution sought to win power through guerrilla warfare. The Revolutionary Left Movement, or MIR, launched an insurrection that had been crushed by 1965, but Peru-icon.png Peruball's internal strife would only accelerate until its climax in the 1990s.

    The Military-icon.png military has been prominent in Peru-icon.png Peruball's history. Coups have repeatedly interrupted civilian constitutional government. The most recent period of Dictator-icon.png military rule (1968–1980) began when General Juan Velasco Alvarado overthrew President Fernando, Belaúnde Terry. As part of what has been called the "first phase" of the military government's left-wing nationalist program, Velasco undertook an extensive agrarian reform program and nationalized the fish meal industry, some petroleum companies, and several banks and mining firms. During this period, relations with USA-icon.png USAball were tense, and because of that, relations with Soviet-icon.png Soviet Unionball and Communism-icon.png socialist countries were close, despite Velasco's government locally rejecting both capitalism and communism.

    On 1970, a 7.9 earthquake struck the city of Ancash-icon.png Ancashball causing a deadly avalanche on Huascaran, killing 20,000 people, this is considered the deadliest avalanche ever recorded on human history.

    General Dictator-icon.png Francisco Morales Bermúdez replaced Velasco during 1975. Morales Bermúdez moved the revolution into a more conservative "second phase", tempering the measures of the first phase and beginning the task of restoring Peru-icon.png Peruball's economy. Morales Bermúdez presided over the return to the civilian government in accordance with a new constitution drawn up in 1979.

    In the May 1980 elections, President Fernando Belaúnde Terry was returned to office by a strong plurality. One of his first actions as President was the return of several newspapers to their respective owners. In this way, freedom of speech once again played an important part in Peru-icon.png Peruball's politics. Gradually, he also attempted to undo some of the most radical effects of the Agrarian Reform initiated by Velasco and reversed the independent/anti-imperialist stance that the Military Government of Velasco had with USA-icon.png USAball.

    Belaúnde's second term was also marked by the unconditional support for Argentina-icon (soldier).png Argentinaball during the Falklands War with UK-icon.png UKball in 1982. Peru-icon.png Peruball proposed a peace settlement between the two countries, but it was rejected by both sides, as both claimed undiluted sovereignty of the territory.
    How Shining Path was created
    During the 1980s, cultivation of illicit coca was established in large areas on the eastern Andean slope. Rural insurgent movements, like Communism-icon.png Shining Pathball (Sendero Luminoso, SL) and MRTA-icon.png Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movementball (MRTA) increased during this time and derived significant financial support from alliances with the narcotraffickers, leading to the Internal conflict in Peru. Also, Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball went at war with Peruball again but they had peace.

    The nagging economic problems left over from the previous military government persisted, worsened by an occurrence of the "El Niño" weather phenomenon in 1982–83, which caused widespread flooding in some parts of the country, severe droughts in others, and decimated the schools of ocean fish that are one of the country's major resources. After a promising beginning, Belaúnde's popularity eroded under the stress of inflation, economic hardship, and terrorism.

    In 1985, the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA) won the presidential election, bringing Alan García to office. The transfer of the presidency from Belaúnde to García on July 28, 1985, was Peruball's first exchange of power from one democratically elected leader to another for the first time in 40 years.

    With a parliamentary majority for the first time in APRA's history, Alan García started his administration with hopes for a better future. However, economic mismanagement led to hyperinflation from 1988 to 1990. García's term in office was marked by bouts of hyperinflation, which reached 7,649% in 1990 and had a cumulative total of 2,200,200% between July 1985 and July 1990, thereby profoundly destabilizing Peruball's economy.

    Owing to such chronic inflation, the Peruvian currency, the sol, was replaced by the Inti in mid-1985, which itself was replaced by the nuevo sol ("new sun") in July 1991, at which time the new sol had a cumulative value of one billion old soles. During his administration, the per capita annual income of Peruvians fell to $720 (below the level of 1960) and Peru's Gross Domestic Product dropped 20%. By the end of his term, national reserves were a negative $900 million.

    The economic turbulence of the time exacerbated social tensions in Peruball and partly contributed to the rise of Shining Pathball. The García administration unsuccessfully sought a military solution to the growing terrorism, committing human rights violations which are still under investigation.

    Concerned about the economy, the increasing terrorist threat from Communism-icon.png Sendero Luminosoball and MRTA-icon.png MRTAball, and allegations of official corruption, voters chose a relatively unknown mathematician-turned-politician, Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Alberto Fujimori, as president in 1990. The first round of the election was won by well-known writer Mario Vargas Llosa, a conservative candidate who went on to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010, but Fujimori defeated him in the second round. Fujimori implemented drastic measures that caused inflation to drop from 7,650% in 1990 to 139% in 1991. The currency is devalued by 200%, prices are rising sharply (especially gasoline, whose price is multiplied by 30), hundreds of public companies are privatized and 300,000 jobs are being lost. The majority of the population has not benefited from the years of strong growth, which will ultimately only widen the gap between rich and poor. The poverty rate remained at around 50%.

    As other Dictator-icon.png dictators did, Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Fujimori dissolved Congress in the auto-golpe of April 5, 1992, in order to have total control of the government of Peruball. He then eliminated the constitution; called new congressional elections; and implemented substantial economic reform, including privatization of numerous state-owned companies, creation of an investment-friendly climate, and sound management of the economy.

    Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Fujimori's administration was dogged by several insurgent groups, most notably Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), which carried on a Military-icon.png terrorist campaign in the countryside throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He cracked down on the insurgents and was successful in largely quelling them by the late 1990s, but the fight was marred by atrocities committed by both the Peru-icon (soldier).png Peruvian security forces and the insurgents: the Barrios Altos massacre and La Cantuta massacre by Government paramilitary groups, and the bombings of Tarata and Frecuencia Latina by Communism-icon.png Shining Path. Those examples subsequently came to be seen as symbols of the human rights violations committed during the last years of violence. With the capture of Abimael Guzmán (known as President Gonzalo to the Shining Path) in September 1992, the Communism-icon.png Shining Path received a severe blow which practically destroyed the organization.

    In December 1996, a group of insurgents belonging to MRTA-icon.png MRTAball took over Japan-icon.png Japanball's embassy in Lima-icon.png Limaball, taking 72 people hostage. Military commandos stormed the embassy compound in May 1997, which resulted in the death of all 15 hostage takers, one hostage, and 2 commandos. It later emerged, however, that Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Fujimori's security chief Vladimiro Montesinos may have ordered the killing of at least eight of the rebels after they surrendered.

    Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Fujimori's constitutionally questionable decision to seek a third term and subsequent tainted victory in June 2000 brought political and economic turmoil. A bribery scandal that broke just weeks after he took office in July forced Fujimori to call new elections in which he would not run. The scandal involved Vladimiro Montesinos, who was shown in a video broadcast on TV bribing a politician to change sides. Montesinos subsequently emerged as the center a vast web of illegal activities, including embezzlement, graft, drug trafficking, as well as human rights violations committed during the war against Shining Pathball.

    In November 2000, Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Fujimori resigned from office and went to Japan-icon.png Japanball in self-imposed exile, avoiding prosecution for human rights violations and corruption charges by the new Peruvian authorities. His main intelligence chief, Vladimiro Montesinos, fled Peruball shortly afterwards. Authorities in Venezuela-icon.png Venezuelaball arrested him in Caracas in June 2001 and turned him over to Peruvian authorities; he is now imprisoned and charged with acts of corruption and human rights violations committed during Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Fujimori's administration.

    A caretaker government presided over by Valentín Paniagua took on the responsibility of conducting new presidential and congressional elections. The elections were held in April 2001; observers considered them to be free and fair. Alejandro Toledo (who led the opposition against Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Fujimori) defeated former President Alan García.

    The newly elected government took office on July 28, 2001. The Toledo Administration managed to restore some degree of democracy to Peruball following the authoritarianism and corruption that plagued both the Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Fujimori and García governments. Innocents wrongfully tried by military courts during the war against terrorism (1980–2000) were allowed to receive new trials in civilian courts.

    On August 28, 2003, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (CVR), which had been charged with studying the roots of the violence of the 1980–2000 period, presented its formal report to the President.

    President Toledo was forced to make a number of cabinet changes, mostly in response to personal scandals. Toledo's governing coalition had a minority of seats in Congress and had to negotiate on an ad hoc basis with other parties to form majorities on legislative proposals. Toledo's popularity in the polls suffered throughout the last years of his regime, due in part to family scandals and in part to dissatisfaction among workers with their share of benefits from Peruball's macroeconomic success. After strikes by teachers and agricultural producers led to nationwide road blockages in May 2003, Toledo declared a state of emergency that suspended some civil liberties and gave the military power to enforce order in 12 regions. The state of emergency was later reduced to only a few areas where Shining Pathball was operating.

    On 2005, a minor 7.5 earthquake struck the regional department of Loreto-icon.png Loretoball and killed at least 5 people, shocks were felt on Ecuador-icon.png Ecuadorball and southern Colombia-icon.png Colombiaball, the only one that helped Peruball was Israel-icon.png Israelcube.

    On July 28, 2006 former president Alan García became the current President of Peru-icon.png Peruball. He won the 2006 elections after winning in a runoff against Ollanta Humala.

    During the night of August 15, 2007, at 18:40:57 UTC, another 7.9 earthquakes struck the provinces of Ica-icon.png Icaball and Lima-icon.png Limaball, killing more than 500+ people, there were even blue lights on the sky, all of OAS-icon.png Latin America supported Peruball by sending money and reparations, the ones that show most support were Chile-icon.png Chileball, Colombia-icon.png Colombiaball (even Shakira donated some money), Bolivia-icon.png Boliviaball and Argentina-icon.png Argentinaball.

    During May 2008, President García was a signatory to The UNASUR Constitutive Treaty of the Union of South American Nations. Peru has ratified the treaty.

    On June 5, 2011, Ollanta Humala was elected President in a run-off against Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Alberto Fujimori and former First Lady of Peru, in the 2011 elections, making him the first leftist president of Peru since Juan Velasco Alvarado. In December 2011, a state of emergency was declared following popular opposition to some major mining project and environmental concerns.

    Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (often known as PPK) was elected president in the general election in July 2016. His parents were Poland-icon.png polish refugees fleeing from nazism. Kuczynski is committed to integrating and acknowledging Peru's indigenous populations, and state-run TV has begun daily news broadcasts in Cuzco-icon.png Quechua and Aymara-icon.png Aymara. Kuczynski was widely criticized on pardoning former Alberto Fujimori-icon.png President Alberto Fujimori, going against his campaign promises against his rival, Keiko Fujimori.

    During March 2018, after a failure to impeach the President-icon.png president, Kuczynski faced yet again the threat of impeachment on the basis of corruption in vote-buying and bribery with the Odebrecht corporation. On March 23, 2018, Kuczynski was forced to resign from the presidency and has not been heard from since.

    Kuczynski's successor would be his first vice president, engineer Martín Vizcarra, who would succeed him as president until the end of Kuczynski's term in 2021

    Peruball does not change much after 2018, he is currently part of four alliances, 3 on South America and the UN-icon.png UNball, also recently, his son Lima-icon.png Limaball was the host of the 2019 Panamerican Games, it was one of the best events on the modern history of Peru!

    In the 2021 Peruvian general elections, he had to make the hard choice of whether align with the far-left or with the far-right. His people, chose far-left candidate Pedro Castillo (an inept) over far-right candidate Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori.

    Flag Colors[edit | edit source]

    The Flag of Peruball was first adopted by the Government of Peruball in 1824 but later modified just 126 years later in 1950. The flag features a tricolour. The colours being red on the right and left of the flag while white in the middle.

    In most flag appearances, to prevent confusion, there is the Coat of Arms of Peruball in the middle of the flag. The Coat of Arms of Peruball has a shield with the vicuña with a “celestial blue” background in the top left of the shield, a Cinchona officinalis (cinchona tree) with a white background in the top right of the shield, and finally a cornucopia with coins coming out of it in the bottom of the shield which has a red background. The shield is surrounded by two plants, a laurel, and a palm branch, which are tied together with red and white ribbon.

    Don't get confused with the Canadaball’s flag as both have similar colours, and similar flag likes, except for that the Flag of Canadaball features a maple leaf in the middle.

    Lava 217, 16, 35 C0-M93-Y84-K15 #D91023

In fact, in 2008, they both talked about how Peru wanted to re-introduce the Spanish language back in the Philippines and how it would improve their trade with Hispanic countries, but sadly it was later debunked in 2009 thus leaving him upset.

But in the 90s, a Peruvian-Japanese president named Alberto Fujimori-icon.png Alberto Fujimori came to the power and without any need (he did it for its political philosophy) started selling the most important national companies and indebting the country to other nations and even at cost of our enviroment.

Who knows in the future we will not unite in an military alliance. But I have a condition to improve our relationship even more: STOP SAYING I LIKE TO EAT PALOMAS !!!!
