From the Paper:

"Archaeological studies have shown that Peru was inhabited as back as 10,000 BC. The Chavin culture that existed around 900 BC is what we are most familiar with among the earlier cultures and the next culture to develop was the Paracas culture around 300 BC. The subsequent developments in the growth of civilization in Peru culminated with the Incas dominating the scene by 700 AD and ruling over the region till the arrival of the Spaniards in 1531, who proceeded to establish their dominion over the territory by defeating the Incas. The Spaniards did take some to establish their total control as they had to deal with the native revolts that arose. The rule of the Spaniards was marked by two factors, the looting of the Inca gold and wealth and taking them back to Spain and the cruelty that was the hallmark of their rule. Peru remained under Spanish control till 1821, when an uprising of Spanish landowners and their forces defeated the Spanish authorities and became independent. In the twentieth century the Peruvian military has played an important part on the political scene of Peru. Coups have regularly caused interruption civilian elected governments. The last occurrence was in 1968 and the military ruled the country through a succession of military heads of state till 1980 when civilian rule was restored. (Encyclopedia: History of Peru)"
