The country of Peru was part of the Inca Empire during their reign from 1200 A.D. to 1400 A.D.

The land of Peru was conquered by Francisco Pizarro in 1533, him and his army fought to gain control of the land for two years before they actually did take control over what would later become Peru

On July 28, 1821 Peru declared its independence from Spain.  It took them three years to officially separate from Spain as they did not want to lose this land.

Later in the century, the Peruvians started to fight in many wars, such as a second war with Spain from 1864-1866 and a war they lost in which they fought Chile in 1879-1883
