• The Inca road system was the most extensive and advanced transportation system in pre-Columbian South America
• The best known portion of the road system is the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu• The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is actually three routes, which all meet up near the 'Sun Gate' and
entrance to Machu Picchu• Rafts were used to cross wide rivers; bridges built of stone or floating reeds were used in marshy
highlands; Incan rope bridges provided access across narrow valleys• The prime users were imperial soldiers, porters and llama convoys• Permission was required before others could walk along the roads, and tolls were charged at some
bridges• The Incas developed techniques to overcome the difficult territory of the Andes. On steep slopes they
built stone steps resembling giant flights of stairs• Only 25% of this road network is still visible because of modern infrastructures built over it, plus
Spaniards, post conquest, had dug up the road completely in some areas• Incas didn’t often travel by wheel and weren’t introduced to horse travel until the arrival of the Spanish
in Peru in the 16th century, so the trails were used almost exclusively by people walking, sometimes accompanied by pack animals, usually the llama
• The trails were used by the Inca people as a means of relaying messages, carried via knotted-cord quipu, books, and by memory; and for transporting goods. People could cover a couple hundred miles per day by using a relay system
• The steep trails on Peru’s landforms made if difficult for the Spanish by horse to conquer the Incas
![Page 13: 1450- The massive architecture of the Incas, Machu Pitcchu, consisting of finely dressed irregular blocks of stone, becomes a feature of Cuzco 1450- Punchao,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bf811a28abf838c85429/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The biggest and only international airport is the Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima• The Pan American Highway cuts straight through Peru from the Ecuadorian border to the
Chilean one• The inter-city bus system is quite efficient and not very expensive. Well-known bus lines
are Cruz del Sur and Ormeno, both of which also service neighboring countries• Rail transport in Peru is not so widely distributed, due to its mountainous geography • El Metropolitano, the rapid transit bus system in Lima, is the easiest and most reliable
form of public transportation. • The Ferrocarril Central Andino railway runs inland from Callao and Lima across the Andes;
it is the second highest railway in the world• Has 8,600 km of navigable waterways of the Amazon system and 208 km of Lake Titicaca• Has an 621 mi pipeline for the transport of petroleum • Fifty to ninety percent of the prices of agricultural goods produced in the interior and sold
on the coast are accounted for by transportation and marketing costs• A Nazi graveyard in the Amazon suggests that Nazis used the Amazon river system for
travel• Travel along the Amazon river has allowed the spread of different dialects of Spanish,
diseases, plant and animal species that live near the river, folk stories, and traded goods
![Page 14: 1450- The massive architecture of the Incas, Machu Pitcchu, consisting of finely dressed irregular blocks of stone, becomes a feature of Cuzco 1450- Punchao,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bf811a28abf838c85429/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Prediction• Train usage will likely still be unpopular because the mountains
in Peru make train travel difficult, and the mountains won’t change much over the next thirty years
• The Amazon river will still play a major role in trade because of its extensive length
• Air transportation will likely grow due to promotions and price reductions from competition
• Regulations to control highway traffic will continue and be reinforced leading to safer roads with fewer accidents and robberies over time
• BMI forecast that “oil production will more than double over the coming five years,” showing the movement of oil through underground pipelines will increase
• The ancient Incan roads will continue to be used for tourism• Busing will remain popular because of its cheap pricing and
easy accessibility
![Page 15: 1450- The massive architecture of the Incas, Machu Pitcchu, consisting of finely dressed irregular blocks of stone, becomes a feature of Cuzco 1450- Punchao,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bf811a28abf838c85429/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• The Incas worshiped a pantheon of nature gods and goddesses. The most important were: Inti (the sun god), Viracocha (the creator), Illapa (the weather god), Pachamama (the earth goddess), Mamacocha (the sea goddess), and Mamaquilla (the moon goddess)
• Sacrifices ranged from small amounts of food to humans• Corn was sacrificed everyday as a tribute to Inti
• In order to salute the Sun God every morning, villages were built facing eastward• Gold was believed to be the Sun God’s tears and was used to celebrate him at festivals• The Incas and the Spaniards believed illness was sent by the gods as a form of divine
punishment. The Spanish missionaries reinforced this belief that disease was a reminder that Christianity was the only true religion• They preached that conversion was the only chance for survival and salvation
• Spanish priests suppressed Inca religion and achieved a massive conversion of Indian communities to Christianity. In 1567, the Spanish church set strict rules against the Incas’ beliefs, customs and ceremonies• They declared some of their beliefs as work of the devil
• The Spaniards built Christian churches where sun temples once stood and melted down the artistic masterpieces of the Inca gold and silversmiths
During Incas:

• The Constitution of Peru provides freedom for religion• Spain’s heavy Catholic population influenced religion in Peru• The population is about 82% Roman Catholic• The Peruvian government is closely allied with the Catholic Church• Article 50 of the Constitution recognizes the Catholic Church's role as "an important
element in the historical, cultural, and moral development of the nation.”• Indigenous traditions and Catholic beliefs limit women’s access to birth control• Catholic Relief Services and other NGO organization have implemented women’s
shelters and homes to provide health care, education, and safety• The Incan calendar had 12 months of 30 days, with each month having its own festival,
and a five day feast at the end, before the new year began• Later, a major promoter of the Christian faith was Francisco Penzotti, who came to
Peru in July 1888. Efforts on the part of Penzotti to make the Bible available to the masses also provided an entrance into Peru for the first time of protestant Bible societies and translators, stimulating a new era of religion and social change.
• The institutional role of the church was established with conquest and the viceroyalty, but since independence it has slowly declined through losing its exclusive control over the domains of education, maintenance of vital statistics, marriages, and the organization of daily life around church rites.

PREDICTION• Protestantism will become more popular; it has been
winning converts in Peru at a relatively rapid rate among the urban poor and certain Indian populations.
• Inca traditions will likely die out in urban areas.• Islam populations will likely stay the same because they
have remained relatively static since 1980.• The control the Church has over things such as: education,
marriages, etc. will decline.

• Alberto Fujimori was born July 28, 1938 in Lima, Peru.• He is of Japanese decent.• He took schooling from the National Agrarian University in Lima, University of Wisconsin, and the
University of Strasbourg, France. • In 1989, as terrorism and hyperinflation plagued Peru, Fujimori began a bid for the presidency as the
head of a new party, Cambio 90 • Fujimori instituted austerity measures including raising the price of gasoline by 3,000 percent. The
policy—popularly known as “Fujishock”—wiped out inflation but caused immediate layoffs and hardships among the poor.
• Fujimori staged an ”self-administered coup” with military support, declaring a state of emergency, dissolving Congress, and calling for a new constitution.• Fujimori’s political allies subsequently won a majority of legislative seats
• In the mid-1990s, Fujimori’s wife publicly denounced him as corrupt and undemocratic and sought to run against him in the 1995 elections. However, Fujimori passed a law prohibiting immediate relatives of the president from seeking the office.
• He used his connections during the second election to infiltrate opposition political parties, bribe legislators and electoral officials, muzzle the media, embezzle and redirect government funds, and carry out human rights abuses, including illegal arrests and torture.
• Fujimori sought a controversial third term in 2000.• His government crumbled in late 2000 when a video was released that showed one of Fujimori’s
close allies, Montesinos, bribing a congressman. People become calling Fujimori corrupt, so he left Peru and went to Japan. Here, he announced his resignation.

• Peruvian officials investigated charges against Fujimori, but the Japanese government protected him.• In 2005, he traveled to Chile in hopes of contesting the 2006 presidential election—though he was
prohibited from seeking office until 2011. Upon his arrival he was arrested at Peru’s request. • In December 2007, he was convicted for ordering an illegal search of the home of Montesinos’s wife
in 2000 and was fined and sentenced to six years in prison for abuse of power.• In April 2009, following a 15-month trial, Fujimori was found guilty of ordering military death squads
to carry out killings and kidnappings during his presidency, and he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
• A third conviction came in July 2009, when Peru’s Supreme Court found Fujimori guilty of channeling millions of dollars of state funds to Montesinos while he was president; Fujimori was then sentenced to seven and a half more years in prison.
• In September 2009, in his fourth trial since he was extradited to Peru, Fujimori pleaded guilty to charges of illegal wiretapping and bribery, and he was sentenced to six additional years in prison.
• Press reports in late 2012 indicated that Fujimori was suffering from tongue cancer and other medical problems.
• For all the bad things he has done, some of the helpful things he has done for Peru have been: wiping out inflation, ending terrorism in the country, prevention of rebel movements, increased the country’s GDP, brought many people out of poverty, built new schools, more roads and highways, and new and upgraded communications infrastructure, and increased exports.

Alejandro Toledo• During his campaign, Toledo promised Peruvians higher wages, a fight against poverty,
anti-corruption measures, higher pensions, more employment, military reform, development of tourism, and industrialization.
• On July 28, 2001, Toledo became the first South American President of indigenous descent to be democratically elected in five hundred years.
• Toledo’s inability to fulfill what he promised during his campaign created widespread dissatisfaction. His approval ratings were consistently low throughout his presidency, sometimes sinking into single digits.
• However, he did do some of the things he promised during his campaign.• The amount of paved roads increased by 20% during his presidency; medical
attention to the poor doubled in rural areas, and public sector salaries increased (especially teachers), and over 100,000 new homes were built for poor Peruvians.
• By 2004, Peru had a social safety net that included food programs serving 35 % of the population, and work programs offering temporary employment to unskilled workers.
• He tried to improve education; throughout his administration, enrollment rates in primary and secondary education remained high and private-school enrollment increased, but overall literacy and test scores improved only slightly.

Pacific.• He spent a couple Billion USD on guns and tanks to launch an attack on Chile• The Peruvian attack was supposed to be on October 5, 1975• Alvarado then stated to the press the government never had any intentions of
attacking Chile• During the mid 1970s, Velasco had become seriously ill; he had lost a leg to an
embolism, and his cognitive abilities and personality were rumored to have been affected by related circulatory problems.
• His failure to fix economic difficulties such as inflation, unemployment, food shortages, etc. led to the formation of a military coup on August 29th, 1975.• That night he called and meeting and read a speech saying he wouldn’t try to
resist the coup. • The next day he resigned from office.

• After independence, Ecuador had been left without access to either the Amazon or the region's other major waterway, the Rio Maranon, and thus without direct access to the Atlantic Ocean.
• The war started July of 1941; Ecuador’s forces had 1,800 soldiers, while Peru had 13,000• In an effort to assert its territorial claims in a region near the Rio Maranon in the Amazon
Basin, Ecuador occupied militarily the town of Zarumilla along its southwestern border with Peru. However, the Peruvian Army responded with a lightning victory against the Ecuadorian Army
• The Peruvian army used tanks, artillery, military parachutes, and other weapons for the war. and air support. Their paratroop unit was used to seize the Ecuadorian port city of Puerto Bolivar on July 27, 1941.
• This prompted the Ecuadorian President, Carlos Alberto Arroyo del Río to keep a sizable part of the Army in the capital, Quito. The rest of the army carried out guerrilla attacks upon the Peruvian troops.
• Ecuador request a cease fire that went into action on July, 31 1941.• Later that month, Peru held Ecuador's southernmost province of El Oro and much of the
disputed eastern jungle territory that had been part of Ecuador since the 1830s.

• The Rio Protocol of February 1942 awarded to Peru some 205,000 square kilometers of previously disputed Amazon territory; this ended the war and troops begin to withdraw.• During the retreat, several attacks were made against the Peruvian military, and a series
of lives were lost during the process.• Observers from the United States, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile co-signed the treaty
• About 78 km of the Ecuadorian-Peruvian border were left unmarked for the next fifty years, causing continuous diplomatic and military crisis between the two countries.
• The importance of Peru gaining Amazon territory is because it allows for them to trade by the Amazon river system, and to gain access to plants, animals, minerals, etc. that are found in the rainforest.
• The US got involved in the war hoping that they might get some access to the archipelago of Galapagos in return.
• Discovery of the Cenepa river in 1947 is likely what triggered Ecuador to make the claim; this river-territorial dispute led to the Cenepa War in 1995.
• During the 1960s, the Ecuadorian government alleged that the Protocol was invalid, because it had been signed under coercion.
• Many suggest the Ecuadorian-Peruvian War of 1941 influences alliances during World War II

• The 1868 Arica earthquake occurred on August 13, 1868, near Arica, then part of Peru, now part of Chile.
• It had an estimated magnitude between 8.5 and 9.0.• The earthquake occurred along the boundary between the Nazca Plate
and the South American Plate.• A total of 300 million dollars in damage, and killed as many as 70,000
people along the South American coast• Tsunamis in the Pacific Ocean was produced by the earthquake, which
was recorded in Hawaii, Japan and New Zealand.• The earthquake caused the almost complete destruction of the cities:
Arica, Tacna, Moquegua, Mollendo, Ilo, Iquique, Torata and Arequipa• The tsunami also caused the near complete destruction of the port city
of Pisco.• It is reported that the earth opened up in various places, spewing out
muddy water.• About 400 aftershocks were recorded• This earthquake, and the tsunami had a huge impact because it killed
many people, used a lot of money for repairs and rebuilding, and took several years to repair all the damages. This also hurt trade because many port cities and boats were destroyed.

Leading up to the war:• After fighting for the independence of the Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata, Jose de San Martin created the
Army of the Andes and crossed the Andes in 21 days. • Once in Chile, he joined forces with Chilean army and liberated the country in the battles of Chacabuco
and Maipu in 1818. • On September 7th 1820, a fleet of eight warships landed in the port of Paracas under the command of
general Jose de San Martin and Thomas Cochrane of the Chilean Navy. • Immediately on October 26, they took control of the town of Pisco.• San Martin settled in Huacho on November 12, where he established his headquarters while Cochrane
sailed north blockading 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.• Argentinian General, San Martin, sent representatives to Lima urging Viceroy Pazuela that Peru be
granted independence, however all negotiations proved unsuccessful.• The Viceroy of Peru, Joaquin de la Pazuela named Jose de la Serna commander-in-chief of the loyalist
army to protect Lima from the threatened invasion of San Martin.• De la Serna was later named Viceroy of Peru. • In order to avoid a military confrontation, San Martin met the newly appointed viceroy, Jose de la Serna,
and proposed to create a constitutional monarchy; the proposal was turned down.
PERUVIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE
![Page 33: 1450- The massive architecture of the Incas, Machu Pitcchu, consisting of finely dressed irregular blocks of stone, becomes a feature of Cuzco 1450- Punchao,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bf811a28abf838c85429/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The war:• De la Serna abandoned the city, and on July 12th 1821 San Martin occupied Lima and
declared Peruvian independence on July 28th 1821. • He created the first Peruvian flag. • Jose de San Martin was declared Protector of Peru.
• Simon Bolivar was left in charge of fully liberating Peru while San Martin retired from politics after the first parliament was assembled. The newly founded Peruvian Congress named Bolivar dictator of Peru giving him the power to organize the military.
• However, Spain did not recognize Peru's independence, and conflicts continued. In 1824, Simon Bolivar and his lieutenant assembled an army at the Lake of Junin in the mountains. The Battle of Junin was quite monumental because about 500 Spanish soldiers were either killed or taken prisoner. This situation had a huge psychological impact on Spain and the royalists. • As a result of the Battle of Junin, approximately 3000 soldiers ended up defecting,
deserting or becoming ill. • It was at the Battle of Ayacucho under command of General Antonio José de Sucre, that the
patriots were truly victorious in ending Spanish rule.

After the war:• This war led to the creation of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation• Peru's transition from colonial rule led to a period to instability • Between 1821 and 1845, and the constitution was rewritten six times• The large-scale importation of British textiles after independence virtually
destroyed the production of native artisans• The expansion of exports during the 1840s did help, finally, to stabilize the
Peruvian state• Spain made futile attempts to retain its former colonies, but stopped after death of
King Ferdinand VII of Spain• In 1867 Spain signed a peace treaty with Peru and in 1879 it signed a treaty
recognizing Peru's independence.• Even though the Spanish rule was over, their influence on Peru will always be seen,
for example: the Spanish language, the Catholic religion, European diseases, horses, mining forces to find silver and gold, and other things that make Peru who they are all from Spain.

The Great Depression (+ World Wars)• World War I had a roller coaster effect on the Peruvian economy:
• Export markets were temporarily cut off, provoking recession• Then, inflation raised the cost of living nearly double between 1913 and 1919.• This inflation had a particularly negative impact on the new working classes in Peru• The growth and concentration of workers made a push for a labor movement.
• Violent strikes erupted on sugar plantations, beginning in 1910.• World War II + Depression impact:
• Cotton and industrial metal (particularly lead and zinc) exports helped strengthen the economy during the Depression
• Peru had Edwin Kemmerer, a well-known United States financial consultant, to recommend reforms. Following his advice, Peru returned to the gold standard, but could not avoid declaring a suspension on its US$180-million debt on April 1, 1931. For the next thirty years, Peru was barred from the United States capital market.
• The Allied victory in World War II reinforced the relative democratic tendency in Peru
• The military, under pressure from the oligarchy, overthrew the government and installed General Manuel A. Odria, hero of the 1941 war with Ecuador, as president.

WAR OF THE PACIFIC• The War of the Pacific began on the heels of an international economic
recession that focused attention on resources in outlying zones.• Under an 1866 treaty, Chile and Bolivia divided the disputed area
encompassing the Atacama Desert, in the understanding that the nationals of both nations could freely exploit mineral deposits in the region.
• Both nations, however, would share equally all the revenue generated by mining activities in the region.
• But Bolivia soon repudiated the treaty, and its subsequent levying of taxes on a Chilean company operating in the area led to an arms race between Chile and its northern neighbors of Bolivia and Peru.
• Fighting broke out when Chilean entrepreneurs and mine-owners in present-day Tarapacá Region and Antofagasta Region, then belonging to Peru and Bolivia, respectively, resisted new taxes, the formation of monopoly companies, and other impositions.
![Page 37: 1450- The massive architecture of the Incas, Machu Pitcchu, consisting of finely dressed irregular blocks of stone, becomes a feature of Cuzco 1450- Punchao,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bf811a28abf838c85429/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
WAR OF THE PACIFIC• In those provinces, most of the deposits of nitrate--a valuable ingredient in
fertilizers and explosives--were owned and mined by Chileans and Europeans, in particular the British. Chile wanted not only to acquire the nitrate fields, but also to weaken Peru and Bolivia in order to strengthen its own strategic preeminence on the Pacific Coast.
• War began when Chilean troops crossed the northern frontier in 1879. • A mutual defense pact had allied Peru and Bolivia since 1873; however, Chile's
military overwhelmed the two weaker countries on land and sea.• Naval victories at Iquique (May 21, 1879) and Angamos (Oct. 8, 1879) enabled
Chile to control the sea approaches to Peru.• A Chilean army then invaded Peru.
• An attempt at mediation by the United States failed in October 1880, and Chilean forces occupied the Peruvian capital of Lima the following January.
• Peruvian resistance continued for three more years, with U.S. encouragement. • Finally, on Oct. 20, 1883, Peru and Chile signed the Treaty of Ancon.
![Page 38: 1450- The massive architecture of the Incas, Machu Pitcchu, consisting of finely dressed irregular blocks of stone, becomes a feature of Cuzco 1450- Punchao,](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5697bf811a28abf838c85429/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
WAR OF THE PACIFIC• As a result of the war and the Treaty of Ancon, Chile acquired two northern
provinces--Tarapaca from Peru and Antofagasta from Bolivia. • These territories encompassed most of the Atacama Desert and blocked
off Bolivia's outlet to the Pacific Ocean.• The war gave Chile control over nitrate exports, which would dominate the
national economy until the 1920s.• The income of the Chilean treasury nearly quadrupled in the decade after the
war. • The government used the funds to expand education and transportation.
• The mining wealth generated demand for agricultural goods from the center and south and even for locally manufactured items, spawning a new plutocracy.
• Even more notable was the emergence of a class-conscious, nationalistic, ideological labor movement in the northern mining camps and elsewhere.
• Prosperity also attracted settlers from abroad.
