(“peru” is a country in western ‘south america’)
(it is bordered in the north by ‘ecuador’ and ‘Colombia’, in the east by ‘Brazil’, in the southeast by ‘Bolivia’, in the south by ‘Chile’, and in the west by the ‘Pacific Ocean’)
(‘Peru’ is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the ‘amazon river’)
(Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the ‘Norte Chico’ civilization in ‘Caral’, one of the oldest in the world, to the ‘Inca Empire’, the largest state in ‘Pre-Columbian America’)
(the ‘Spanish Empire’ conquered the region in the 16th century and established a ‘Viceroyalty’ with its capital in ‘Lima’, which included most of its South American colonies)
(ideas of ‘political autonomy’ later spread throughout ‘Spanish America’ and ‘Peru’ gained its independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821)
(after the ‘battle of ayacucho’, 3 years after proclamation, ‘Peru’ ensured its independence)
(after achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the ‘pacific’)
(subsequently, the country has undergone changes in government from ‘oligarchic’ to ‘democratic’ systems)
(‘Peru’ has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing)
(‘Peru’ is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions)

(the main spoken language is ‘spanish’, although a significant number of Peruvians speak ‘Quechua’ or other native languages)
(this mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as ‘art’, ‘cuisine’, ‘literature’, and ‘music’)
