Independencia de Perú

The Independencia de Perú refers to Peru's struggle for independence from Spanish colonial rule, which was largely achieved on July 28, 1821. The movement was influenced by broader trends in Latin America, including the desire for self-governance and the impact of earlier revolutions, like those in the United States and France. Key figures in the struggle included José de la Riva Agüero and Simón Bolívar. Independence was marked by battles, political negotiations, and the eventual recognition of Peru as a sovereign nation. This event was pivotal in shaping Peru's national identity and governance.
