Peru
Peru has an approximate population of 29.5 million and was discovered by Spain on July the 18th 1821 and also has a lot of Llama.
History
The earliest civilisation in Peru dates back to about 9,000 years B.C and is the oldest known complex society. In the 15th century the Incas into a powerful state and took Peru which then later formed into one of the most powerful states at the time. Later in December 1532 a Spanish group of conquistadores was captured by the Incas. 10 years later the Spanish crown established peace with Peru and the Incas and other South American colonies. In the 1970’s there was a silver mining boom as its main economic activity. Peru later made an important trading network for the Philippines and Europe later after the silver mining production was decreasing which increased taxes. Then war broke out 1879-1883 Peru against Chile but they were defeated. In the year 2000 elections their economy began to grow.
Customs and tradition
The Peruvian culture is similar to the Spanish culture but also consists of some pre-Inca culture and other ethnic groups such as Africa, Asia and Europe. Artistic traditions are mainly complex pottery, jewellery and textiles. Peruvian music has mainly Spanish and African roots. Its cooking has a strong influence from African, Arabic, Italian and Chinese styles of cooking. And overall I think that a lot of Peruvian culture has been influenced by a wide variety of different countries.
