پيرو جي تاريخ

**پيرو جي تاريخ** (History of Peru) 15 هزار سالن تي پکڙيل آهي ملڪ جي ريگستاني ساحلي پٽي ۽ انڊيز جبل ۾ ڪيترن ئي ثقافتي ترقي جي مرحلن مان گذري آهي. پيرو جو ساحل نورٽئ چيڪو تهذيب، آمريڪا ۾ سڀ کان پراڻي تهذيب. ۽ دنيا ۾ تهذيب جي ڇهن پاڙن مان هڪ، جو گھر هو. جڏهن اسپيني **16**هين صدي ۾ هتان پهتا، پيرو هاءِ لينڊ **<small>[[انڪا سلطنت]]</small>**، آمريڪا جي دريافت کان اڳ جي سڀ کان وڏي ۽ ترقي يافته رياست جو گهر هو. انڪا جي فتح کان پوء، اسپيني سلطنت پنهنجي ڏکڻ آمريڪي ڊومين جي اڪثر حصي تي اختيار سان هڪ وائسرائيلٽي قائم ڪئي. پيرو 1821ع ۾ اسپين کان آزادي جو اعلان ڪيو، پر ٽن سالن بعد آياڪوچو جي جنگ کان پوءِ ئي آزادي حاصل ڪئي.

پيرو جي جديد تاريخ نگاري ان جي تاريخ کي ٽن مکيه دورن ۾ ورهائي ٿي: 
* هسپانوي کان اڳ وارو دور، جيڪو علائقي جي پهرين تهذيبن کان وٺي انڪا سلطنت جي اسپين جي قبضي تائين رهي ٿو. 
* هڪ نوآبادياتي دور، جيڪو مٿي ذڪر ڪيل قبضي کان پيرو جي آزادي جي اعلان تائين رهي ٿو.
* هڪ جمهوري دور، جيڪو آزادي جي جنگ کان وٺي موجوده ڏينهن تائين رهي ٿو.

## ماقبل تاريخ دور
**پيرو جي تاريخ** ڪرسٽوفر ڪولمبس جي آمد کان اڳ وارو پيرو کوڙ قديم تهذيبن جو گھر ھيو. پيرو جي علائقي ۾ انساني موجودگي جا ابتدائي ثبوت، هواڪا پريتا آباديءَ ۾، لڳ ڀڳ 12,500 ق. م. جا آهن. اينڊين سماج زراعت، آبپاشي ۽ ٽيريسنگ جا طريقا استعمال ڪندي، تي ٻڌل هئا. اُٺن جو پالڻ ۽ مڇي مارڻ پڻ اهم هئا. تنظيم بارٽر (شين جي باهمي تبادلي) ۽ ٻيهر ورڇ تي ٻڌل هئي، ڇاڪاڻ ته انهن سماجن ۾ مارڪيٽ يا ڪرنسي جو ڪو تصور نه هو. پيرو ۾ سڀ کان پراڻو ڄاتل سڃاتل پيچيده سماج ڪارال-سيوپئ تهذيب، پئسفڪ سمنڊ جي ساحل تي 3,000 ۽ 1,800 قبل مسيح جي وچ ۾ ترقي ڪئي. انهن شروعاتي ترقيات کان پوءِ آثار قديمه جي ثقافتن، جيڪي گهڻو ڪري پيرو ۾ ساحلي ۽ اينڊين علائقن جي چوڌاري ترقي ڪئي، جي جانشين ٿي. ڪپسني سماج، انهن علائقن ۾، جيڪا هاڻي پيرو جو پئسفڪ ساحل آهي،   تقريباً 1000 کان 200 قبل مسيح تائين ترقي ڪيو، **انڪا** کان اڳ جي شروعاتي ثقافت جي هڪ مثال هئي.

1500 کان 300 قبل مسيح تائين ترقي ڪندڙ چاوين ڪلچر شايد سياسي رجحان کان وڌيڪ مذهبي هو، انهن جو مذهبي مرڪز چاوين ڊي هوانٽر ۾ هو. پهرين صدي جي شروعات ۾ چاوين ڪلچر جي زوال کان پوءِ، ايندڙ هزار سالن دوران ساحل ۽ جبلن تي مقامي، خاص ثقافتن جو هڪ سلسلو اڀريو ۽ گريو. ساحلي علائقن تي، انهن ۾ پيراڪاس، نازڪا، واري ۽ وڌيڪ شاندار چيمو ۽ موچي جون تهذيبون شامل هيون. 

موچي تهذيب جا ماڻهو،  جيڪا پهرين هزار سال عيسوي ۾ پنهنجي عروج تي پهتا، انهن جي آبپاشي نظام لاءِ مشهور هئا جنهن انهن جي خشڪ زمين، انهن جي جديد سيرامڪ برتن، انهن جي بلند عمارتن ۽ ماهر ڌاتو جي ڪم کي زرخيز بڻايو.   چيمو انڪا کان اڳ جي تهذيب جا عظيم شهر تعمير ڪندڙ هئا؛ اتر پيرو جي ساحل تي پکڙيل ڀتين وارن شهرن واري، ڍڪيل ڪنفيڊريشن جي طور تي، چيمو تهذيب لڳ ڀڳ 1140ع  کان 1450ع تائين ترقي ڪيو،  جو گاديءَ جو هنڌ ٽروجيلو کان ٻاهر چان چان ۾ هو. اينڊيز جبلن جي سلسلن ۾، پيرو ۽ بوليويا ٻنهي ۾ ٽٽيڪاڪا ڍنڍ جي ويجهو ٽيهوانڪو ڪلچر ۽ موجوده شهر آياڪوچو جي ويجهو واري ڪلچر،  500 ۽ 1000ع جي وچ ۾ وڏيون شهري آباديون ۽ وسيع رياستي نظام پيدا ڪيا.

15هين صدي ۾، انڪا هڪ طاقتور رياست طور اڀري، جنهن هڪ صدي جي عرصي ۾، پري ڪولمبين آمريڪا ۾ سڀ کان وڏي سلطنت ٺاهي، جنهن جي گاديءَ جو هنڌ ڪسڪو هو. "انڪا آف ڪسڪو" اصل ۾ ننڍي ۽ نسبتاً ننڍي نسلي گروهن مان هڪ، ڪيوچواس جي نمائندگي ڪندا هئا. آهستي آهستي، تيرهين صدي جي شروعات ۾، انهن پنهنجي پاڙيسرين کي وڌائڻ ۽ شامل ڪرڻ شروع ڪيو. انڪا جي توسيع 15هين صدي جي وچ تائين سست هئي، جيستائين فتح جي رفتار، خاص طور تي شهنشاهه پچاڪوٽي جي حڪمراني هيٺ، تيز ٿيڻ شروع ٿي.  سندس ۽ سندس پٽ، ٽوپا انڪا يوپنڪي جي حڪمراني هيٺ، انڪا اينڊين علائقي جي اڪثريت تي ڪنٽرول حاصل ڪري ورتو، جنهن جي آبادي 9 کان 16 ملين هئي. پچاڪوٽي پنهنجي پري تائين پکڙيل سلطنت کي هلائڻ لاءِ قانونن جو هڪ جامع ضابطو پڻ جاري ڪيو، جڏهن ته سج جي ديوتا جي حيثيت سان پنهنجي مطلق دنياوي ۽ روحاني اختيار کي مضبوط ڪيو، جيڪو هڪ شاندار طور تي ٻيهر تعمير ٿيل ڪسڪو مان حڪومت ڪندو هو.

سال **1438ع** کان **1533ع** تائين، **انڪا** اولهائين ڏکڻ آمريڪا جي هڪ وڏي حصي کي، پنهنجي سلطنت، جيڪا ڏکڻ ڪولمبيا کان اتر چلي تائين، اولهه ۾ پئسفڪ سمنڊ ۽ اوڀر ۾ ايميزون جي برساتي ٻيلن جي وچ ۾ ڦهليل ۽ اينڊيز جبلن جي سلسلي تي مرڪز ٿيل هئي، ۾  شامل ڪرڻ لاءِ، فتح کان وٺي پرامن انضمام تائين، مختلف طريقا استعمال ڪيا. سلطنت جي سرڪاري ٻولي ڪيوچوا هئي.  جيتوڻيڪ سوين مقامي ٻوليون ۽ لهجا ڳالهايا ويندا هئا. انڪا پنهنجي سلطنت کي تاوانٽينسويو سڏيو. جنهن جو ترجمو "چار علائقا" يا "چار گڏيل صوبا" ڪري سگهجي ٿو. سلطنت ۾ عبادت جا ڪيترائي مقامي روپ برقرار رهيا. انهن مان گهڻا مقامي مقدس هوڪا بابت هئا، پر انڪا قيادت "انٽي" جي پوڄا کي همٿايو، سج ديوتا ۽ ٻين ديوتائن، جهڙوڪ پچاماما، کان مٿي ان جي وڏائي لاڳو ڪئي.  انڪا پنهنجي بادشاهه "ساپا انڪا" کي "سج جو ٻار" سمجهندا هئا.

## اسپين پاران قبضو ۽ نوآبادياتي دور

اٽاهوالپا (Atahualpa) آخري ساپا انڪا، شهنشاهه بڻجي ويو جڏهن هن پنهنجي وڏي اڌ ڀاءُ هواسڪار (Huáscar) کي هڪ گهرو ويڙهه ۾ شڪست ڏني ۽ ان کي قتل ڪيو، جيڪو سندن پيءُ، انڪا هوئنا ڪاپاڪ (Inca Huayna Capac) جي موت جو ذميوار هو. ڊسمبر **153****2ع** ۾، فرانسسڪو پزارو جي اڳواڻي ۾ هڪ پارٽي، جن جا چانڪا، هوانڪا، ڪينارس ۽ چاچاپويا ريڊ انڊين معاون هئا، ڪاجامارڪا (Cajamarca) جي جنگ ۾ انڪا شهنشاهه، اٽاهوالپا کي شڪست ڏني ۽ ان جي سلطنت  تي قبضو ڪيو. سالن جي ابتدائي ڳولا ۽ فوجي تڪرارن کان پوءِ، اهو هڪ ڊگهي مهم جو پهريون قدم هو جنهن ۾ ڏهاڪن جي ويڙهه لڳي، پر اسپين جي فتح ۽ پيرو جي وائسرائيلٽي جي نالي سان مشهور علائقي جي نوآبادي ۾ ختم ٿيو، جن جي گاديءَ جو هنڌ ليما هو، جيڪو ان وقت لا سيوداد ڊي لاس ريئس (بادشاهن جو شهر) جي نالي سان مشهور هو. پيرو جي فتح وائسرائيلٽي ۾ اسپن آف مهمن سان گڏوگڏ ايميزون بيسن ڏانهن مهمون شروع ڪيون جيئن آمريڪي مزاحمت کي دٻائڻ لاءِ اسپيني ڪوششن جي صورت ۾. آخري انڪا مزاحمت کي دٻايو ويو جڏهن اسپيني 1572 ۾ ولڪابامبا ۾ نيو-انڪا رياست کي تباهه ڪيو. * اسپيني پاران متعارف ڪرايل وبائي بيمارين ۽ استحصال ۽ سماجي-اقتصادي تبديلي جي ڪري مقامي آبادي ڊرامائي طور تي تباهه ٿي وئي.

(or Atahuallpa), the last Sapa Inca, became emperor when he defeated and executed his older half-brother Huáscar in a civil war sparked by the death of their father, Inca Huayna Capac. In December 1532, a party of conquistadors (supported by the Chankas, Huancas, Cañaris and Chachapoyas as Indian auxiliaries) led by Francisco Pizarro defeated and captured the Inca Emperor Atahualpa in the Battle of Cajamarca. After years of preliminary exploration and military conflicts, it was the first step in a long campaign that took decades of fighting but ended in Spanish victory and colonization of the region known as the Viceroyalty of Peru with its capital at Lima, which was then known as  (The City of Kings). The conquest of Peru led to spin-off campaigns throughout the viceroyalty as well as expeditions towards the Amazon Basin as in the case of Spanish efforts to quell Amerindian resistance. The last Inca resistance was suppressed when the Spaniards annihilated the Neo-Inca State in Vilcabamba in 1572.

The Indigenous population dramatically collapsed overwhelmingly due to epidemic diseases introduced by the Spanish as well as exploitation and socio-economic change. Viceroy Francisco de Toledo reorganized the country in the 1570s with gold and silver mining as its main economic activity and Amerindian forced labor as its primary workforce. With the discovery of the great silver and gold lodes at Potosí (present-day Bolivia) and Huancavelica, the viceroyalty flourished as an important provider of mineral resources. Peruvian bullion provided revenue for the Spanish Crown and fueled a complex trade network that extended as far as Europe and the Philippines. The commercial and population exchanges between Latin America and Asia undergone via the Manila Galleons transiting through Acapulco, had Callao at Peru as the furthest endpoint of the trade route in the Americas. In relation to this, Don Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera, governor of Panama was also responsible for settling Zamboanga City in the Philippines by employing Peruvian soldiers and colonists. African slaves were added to the labor population to expand the workforce. The expansion of a colonial administrative apparatus and bureaucracy paralleled the economic reorganization.

With the conquest started the spread of Christianity in South America; most people were forcefully converted to Catholicism, with Spanish clerics believing like Puritan divines of English colonies later that the Native Peoples "had been corrupted by the Devil, who was working "through them to frustrate" their foundations. It only took a generation to convert the population. They built churches in every city and replaced some of the Inca temples with churches, such as the Coricancha in the city of Cusco. The church employed the Inquisition, making use of torture to ensure that newly converted Catholics did not stray to other religions or beliefs, and monastery schools, educating girls, especially of the Inca nobility and upper class, "until they were old enough either to profess [to become a nun] or to leave the monastery and assume the role ('estado') in the Christian society that their fathers planned to erect" in Peru. Peruvian Catholicism follows the syncretism found in many Latin American countries, in which religious native rituals have been integrated with Christian celebrations. In this endeavor, the church came to play an important role in the acculturation of the Natives, drawing them into the cultural orbit of the Spanish settlers.

By the 18th century, declining silver production and economic diversification greatly diminished royal income. In response, the Crown enacted the Bourbon Reforms, a series of edicts that increased taxes and partitioned the Viceroyalty. The new laws provoked Túpac Amaru II's rebellion and other revolts, all of which were suppressed. As a result of these and other changes, the Spaniards and their creole successors came to monopolize control over the land, seizing many of the best lands abandoned by the massive native depopulation. However, the Spanish did not resist the Portuguese expansion of Brazil across the meridian. The Treaty of Tordesillas was rendered meaningless between 1580 and 1640 while Spain controlled Portugal. The need to ease communication and trade with Spain led to the split of the viceroyalty and the creation of new viceroyalties of New Granada and Rio de la Plata at the expense of the territories that formed the Viceroyalty of Peru; this reduced the power, prominence and importance of Lima as the viceroyal capital and shifted the lucrative Andean trade to Buenos Aires and Bogotá, while the fall of the mining and textile production accelerated the progressive decay of the Viceroyalty of Peru.

Eventually, the viceroyalty would dissolve, as with much of the Spanish empire, when challenged by national independence movements at the beginning of the nineteenth century. These movements led to the formation of the majority of modern-day countries of South America in the territories that at one point or another had constituted the Viceroyalty of Peru. The conquest and colony brought a mix of cultures and ethnicities that did not exist before the Spanish conquered the Peruvian territory. Even though many of the Inca traditions were lost or diluted, new customs, traditions and knowledge were added, creating a rich mixed Peruvian culture. Two of the most important Indigenous rebellions against the Spanish were that of Juan Santos Atahualpa in 1742, and Rebellion of Túpac Amaru II in 1780 around the highlands near Cuzco.

In the early 19th century, while most South American nations were swept by wars of independence, Peru remained a royalist stronghold. As the elite vacillated between emancipation and loyalty to the Spanish monarchy, independence was achieved only after the occupation by military campaigns of José de San Martín and Simón Bolívar.

The economic crises, the loss of power of Spain in Europe, the war of independence in North America, and Native uprisings all contributed to a favorable climate to the development of emancipation ideas among the C''riollo'' population in South America. However, the Criollo oligarchy in Peru enjoyed privileges and remained loyal to the Spanish Crown. The liberation movement started in Argentina where autonomous juntas were created as a result of the loss of authority of the Spanish government over its colonies.

After fighting for the independence of the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata, José de San Martín created the Army of the Andes and crossed the Andes in 21 days. Once in Chile, he joined forces with Chilean army General Bernardo O'Higgins and liberated the country in the battles of Chacabuco and Maipú in 1818. On 7 September 1820, a fleet of eight warships arrived in the port of Paracas under the command of General José de San Martín and Thomas Cochrane, who was serving in the Chilean Navy. Immediately on 26 October, they took control of the town of Pisco. San Martín settled in Huacho on 12 November, where he established his headquarters while Cochrane sailed north and blockaded the port of Callao in Lima. At the same time in the north, Guayaquil was occupied by rebel forces under the command of Gregorio Escobedo. Because Peru was the stronghold of the Spanish government in South America, San Martín's strategy to liberate Peru was to use diplomacy. He sent representatives to Lima urging the Viceroy that Peru be granted independence, however, all negotiations proved unsuccessful.

The Viceroy of Peru, Joaquín de la Pazuela named José de la Serna commander-in-chief of the loyalist army to protect Lima from the threatened invasion by San Martín. On 29 January, de la Serna organized a coup against de la Pazuela, which was recognized by Spain and he was named Viceroy of Peru. This internal power struggle contributed to the success of the liberating army. To avoid a military confrontation, San Martín met the newly appointed viceroy, José de la Serna, and proposed to create a constitutional monarchy, a proposal that was turned down. De la Serna abandoned the city, and on 12 July 1821, San Martín occupied Lima and declared Peruvian independence on 28 July 1821. He created the first Peruvian flag. Upper Peru (present-day Bolivia) remained as a Spanish stronghold until the army of Simón Bolívar liberated it three years later. José de San Martín was declared Protector of Peru. Peruvian national identity was forged during this period, as Bolivarian projects for a Latin American Confederation floundered and a union with Bolivia proved ephemeral.

Simón Bolívar launched his campaign from the north, liberating the Viceroyalty of New Granada in the Battles of Carabobo in 1821 and Pichincha a year later. In July 1822, Bolívar and San Martín gathered in the Guayaquil Conference. Bolívar was left in charge of fully liberating Peru while San Martín retired from politics after the first parliament was assembled. The newly founded Peruvian Congress named Bolívar dictator of Peru, giving him the power to organize the military.

With the help of Antonio José de Sucre, they defeated the larger Spanish army in the Battle of Junín on 6 August 1824 and the decisive Battle of Ayacucho on 9 December of the same year, consolidating the independence of Peru and Upper Peru. Upper Peru was later established as Bolivia. During the early years of the Republic, endemic struggles for power between military leaders caused political instability.

Once independence was proclaimed, San Martín assumed military-political command of the free departments of Peru, under the title of Protector, according to a decree given on 3 August 1821. The works of the Protectorate contributed to the creation of the National Library (in favor of knowledge), the approval of the National Anthem, and the abolition of the mita (in favor of the indigenous people). On 27 December 1821, San Martín created three ministries: Ministry of State and Foreign Affairs, committing Juan García del Río; Ministry of War and Navy, to Bernardo de Monteagudo; and Ministry of Finance, to Hipólito Unanue.

From the 1840s to the 1860s Peru enjoyed a period of stability under the presidency of Ramón Castilla, through increased state revenues from guano exports. In 1864, a Spanish expedition occupied the Chincha Islands (guano producers) and unleashed an international incident with great consequences in Peruvian internal politics, which led to a coup d'état against President Juan Antonio Pezet, Mariano's government. Peru, with the help of Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador, sent a declaration of war on Spain. After the battle of Callao on 2 May 1866, the Spanish Navy withdrew from Peru. The government of José Balta was lavish in infrastructure works (construction of the Central Railway) although the first signs of excess government spending were already perceived. By the 1870s the guano resources had been depleted, the country was heavily indebted, and political in-fighting was again on the rise.

By 1859, some 41,000 Peruvians had died in the constant civil wars that shook the country since 1829. Thanks to the money from the sale of guano, Peru began to modernize with different public works such as railways; the civil and military bureaucracy grew; The indigenous people stopped paying tribute and the slaves achieved their freedom; The migration policy of Germans, Austrians, Irish and Italians began.

On 5 April 1879, Chile declared war on Peru, unleashing the Pacific War. The casus belli was the confrontation between Bolivia and Chile over a tax problem in which Peru was compromised by the Treaty of Defensive Alliance signed with Bolivia in 1873. However, Peruvian historiography is unanimous in maintaining that the deep cause of *this* war was Chile's ambition to take over the nitrate and guano territories of southern Peru. In the first stage of the war, the naval campaign, the Peruvian navy repelled the Chilean attack until 8 October 1879, the day in which the naval combat of Angamos was fought, where the Chilean navy with its ships Cochrane, Blanco Encalada, Loa and Covadonga cornered the monitor Huáscar, the main ship of the Peruvian navy commanded by Admiral AP Miguel Grau, who died in the fray and since then became Peru's greatest hero.

In 1879 Peru entered the War of the Pacific, which lasted until 1884. Bolivia invoked its alliance with Peru against Chile. The Peruvian Government tried to mediate the dispute by sending a diplomatic team to negotiate with the Chilean government, but the committee concluded that war was inevitable. Peruvian historiography is unanimous in maintaining that the deep cause of this war was Chile's ambition to take over the nitrate and guano territories of southern Peru and Bolivia.

Almost five years of war ended with the loss of the department of Tarapacá and the provinces of Tacna and Arica, in the Atacama region. Francisco Bolognesi and Miguel Grau are both renowned heros of the war. Originally Chile committed to a referendum for the cities of Arica and Tacna to be held years later, to self determine their national affiliation. However, Chile refused to apply the Treaty, and neither of the countries could determine the statutory framework. The War of the Pacific was the bloodiest war Peru has fought in. After the War of the Pacific, an extraordinary effort of rebuilding began. The government started to initiate a number of social and economic reforms to recover from the damage of the war. Political stability was achieved only in the early 1900s.

Internal struggles after the war were followed by a period of stability under the Civilista Party, which lasted until the onset of the authoritarian regime of Augusto B. Leguía. The Great Depression caused the downfall of Leguía, renewed political turmoil, and the emergence of the American Popular Revolutionary Alliance (APRA). The rivalry between this organization and a coalition of the elite and the military defined Peruvian politics for the following three decades. A final peace treaty in 1929, signed between Peru and Chile called the Treaty of Lima, returned Tacna to Peru. Between 1932 and 1933, Peru was engulfed in a year-long war with Colombia over a territorial dispute involving the Amazonas Department and its capital Leticia.

In 1941 Peru and Ecuador fought the Ecuadorian–Peruvian War, after which the Rio Protocol sought to formalize the boundary between those two countries. In a military coup on 29 October 1948, General Manuel A. Odría became president. Odría's presidency was known as the . He came down hard on APRA, momentarily pleasing the oligarchy and all others on the right, but followed a populist course that won him great favor 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 regime. Odría was succeeded by Manuel Prado Ugarteche. However, widespread allegations of fraud prompted the Peruvian military to depose Prado and install a military junta, via a coup d'état led by Ricardo Pérez Godoy. Godoy ran a short transitional government and held new elections in 1963, which were won by Fernando Belaúnde Terry who assumed presidency until 1968. Belaúnde was recognized for his commitment to the democratic process.

On 3 October 1968 another coup d'état led by a group of officers led by General Juan Velasco Alvarado brought the army to power with the aim of applying a doctrine of "social progress and integral development", nationalist and reformist, influenced by the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (UNECLAC) theses on dependence and underdevelopment. Six days after the golpe, Velasco proceeded to nationalize the *International Petroleum Corporation* (IPC), the North American company that exploited Peruvian oil, and then launched a reform of the state apparatus, an agrarian reform. It was the biggest agrarian reform ever undertaken in Latin America: it abolished the latifunda system and modernized agriculture through a more equitable redistribution of land (90% of the peasants formed cooperatives or agricultural societies of social interest). Land was to be owned by those who cultivated it, and large landowners were expropriated. The only large properties allowed were cooperatives. 

Between 1969 and 1976, 325,000 families received land from the state with an average size of . The "revolutionary government" also planned massive investments in education, elevated the Quechua language – spoken by nearly half the population but hitherto despised by the authorities – to a status equivalent to that of Spanish and established equal rights for natural children. Peru wished to free itself from any dependence and carried out a third-world foreign policy. The United States responded with commercial, economic and diplomatic pressure. In 1973 Peru seemed to triumph over the financial blockade imposed by Washington by negotiating a loan from the International Development Bank to finance its agricultural and mining development policy. The relations with Chile became very tense after the coup d'état of the general Pinochet. General Edgardo Mercado Jarrin (Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Army) and Admiral Guillermo Faura Gaig (Minister of the Navy) both escaped assassination attempts within weeks of each other. In 1975 General Francisco Morales Bermúdez Cerruti seized power and broke with the policies of his predecessor. His regime occasionally participated in Operation Condor in collaboration with other American military dictatorships.

President Alan García's economic policies distanced Peru from international markets further, resulting in lower foreign investment in the country. After the country experienced chronic inflation, in mid-1985, the Peruvian sol was replaced by the inti, which itself was replaced by the nuevo sol in July 1991 (the new sol had a cumulative value of one billion old soles). At the end of the 1980s, the per capita annual income of Peruvians fell to $720 (below the level of 1960) and Peru's GDP dropped 20%, with national reserves running a $900 million deficit. The economic turbulence of the time acerbated social tensions in Peru and partly contributed to the rise of violent rebel rural insurgent movements, like Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) and MRTA, which caused great havoc throughout the country.

The Peruvian armed forces, frustrated with the inability of the García administration to handle the nation's crises, drafted the , which involved the genocide of impoverished and indigenous Peruvians, the control or censorship of the media in Peru, and the establishment of a neoliberal economy controlled by a military junta. Alberto Fujimori assumed the presidency in 1990 and, according to the head of the National Intelligence Service (SIN) Rospigliosi, an understanding was established between Fujimori, Vladimiro Montesinos, and some of the military officers involved in  to abide by the military's demands prior to Fujimori's inauguration. Fujimori would go on to adopt many of the policies outlined in , which led to a precitious drop in inflation from 7,650% at the start of 1990 to 139% in 1991 and 57% in 1992. When Fujimori faced opposition to his reform efforts, he dissolved Congress, suspending the judiciary, arresting several opposition leaders and assuming full powers in the *[[Self-coup|auto-golpe]]* ("self-coup") of 5 April 1992. He then revised 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. Nonetheless, these policies did not benefit the poorest much, and inequality persisted despite Fujimori's economic achievements.

Fujimori's administration was dogged by insurgent groups, most notably Shining Path, which carried out attacks across the country throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Fujimori 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 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 Sendero Luminoso. Fujimori would also broaden the definition of terrorism in an effort to criminalize as many actions possible to persecute left-wing political opponents. Using the , a fearmongering tactic that was used to accuse opponents of terrorism, Fujimori established a cult of personality by portraying himself as a hero and made left-wing ideologies an eternal enemy in Peru. Those incidents subsequently came to symbolize the human rights violations committed in the last years of violence. His *[[Programa Nacional de Población]]*, 'National Population Program' also resulted with the forced sterilization of at least 300,000 poor and indigenous women.

In early 1995, once again Peru and Ecuador clashed in the Cenepa War, but in 1998 the governments of both nations signed a peace treaty that clearly demarcated the international boundary between them. In November 2000, Fujimori resigned from office and went into a self-imposed exile, initially avoiding prosecution for human rights violations and corruption charges by the new Peruvian authorities.

Peru tried to fight corruption while sustaining economic growth at the start of the 21st century, though Fujimorism held power over much of Peruvian society through maintaining control of institutions and legislation created in the 1993 constitution, which was written by Fujimori and his supporters without opposition participation. In spite of human rights progress since the time of insurgency, many problems are still visible and show the continued marginalization of those who suffered through the violence of the Peruvian conflict. A caretaker government presided over by Valentín Paniagua took on the responsibility of conducting new presidential and congressional elections. Afterwards Alejandro Toledo became president in 2001 to 2006. On 28 July 2006, former president Alan García became President of Peru after winning the 2006 elections. In 2006, Alberto Fujimori's daughter, Keiko Fujimori, entered Peru's political arena to continue her father's legacy and espouse Fujimorism. In May 2008, Peru became a member of the Union of South American Nations. In April 2009, former president Alberto Fujimori was convicted of human rights violations and sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in killings and kidnappings by the Grupo Colina death squad during his government's battle against leftist guerrillas in the 1990s.

During the presidencies of Ollanta Humala, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and Martín Vizcarra, the right-wing Congress led by Keiko Fujimori obstructed much of the actions performed by the presidents. On 5 June 2011, Ollanta Humala was elected president, with his cabinet being successfully censured by the Fujimorist Congress. Beginning with Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, Congress used broadly interpreted impeachment wording in the 1993 Constitution of Peru that allowed impeachment of the president without cause to place pressure on the president, forcing him to resign in 2018 amid various controversies surrounding his administration. Vice president Martín Vizcarra then assumed office in March 2018 with generally favorable approval ratings as he led the anti-corruption constitutional referendum movement. 

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted with Peru experiencing the highest death rate from COVID-19 in the world, exposing much of the inequality that persisted since the Fujimori administration and triggering an economic crisis that led to Vizcara's removal from the presidency by Congress. Widely seen as a coup by Congress, its head, the newly seated President Manuel Merino, faced protests across the country, and after five days, Merino resigned from the presidency. Merino was replaced by President Francisco Sagasti, who led a provisional, centrist government, and enforced many of Vizcarra's former policies. Elections were held on 11 April 2021, and Pedro Castillo of the Free Peru party won the first round, followed closely by Keiko Fujimori, with right-wing parties allied with Fujimori maintaining positions in Congress.

On 28 July 2021, Pedro Castillo was sworn in as the new president of Peru after a narrow win in a tightly contested run-off election. That same year, Peru celebrated the bicentenary of independence. Castillo faced multiple impeachment votes during his presidency from the right-wing controlled Congress and on 7 December 2022, just hours before Congress was set to begin a third impeachment effort, Castillo tried to prevent this by attempting to dissolve the opposition-controlled legislature and create an "exceptional emergency government." In response, Congress quickly held an emergency session on the same day, during which it voted 101–6 (with 10 abstentions) to remove Castillo from office and replace him with Vice President Dina Boluarte. She became the country's first female president. Castillo was arrested after trying to flee to the Mexican embassy and was charged with the crime of rebellion.

The Boluarte government proved unpopular as she allied herself with the right-wing Congress and the military, betraying her constituents. This resentment led to the 2022–2023 Peruvian political protests, which sought the removal of Boluarte and Congress, immediate general elections and the writing of a new constitution. Authorities responded to the protests violently, with the Ayacucho massacre and Juliaca massacre occurring at this time, resulting with the most violence experienced in the nation in over two decades. The strong response by the political elite in Lima raised concerns that they sought to establish an authoritarian or civilian-military government. On 10 October 2025, Peru’s congress removed President Dina Boluarte from office and Jose Jeri was sworn in as Peru’s interim president.
