Repectfully Submitted, Karina Maloney, Lauren Smyle, Shayla McCoyBack to Project Page.
 * **Key Events** || 1. Independence came slow because Peru was a conservative, royalist, stronghold. 2. Indigenous peoples were already a threat to the creole caste so Peruvians weren't at the time so concerned with gaining independence. (Tupac Amaru Revolt) 3. When independence did come in 1824, it was more of a foreign imposition rather than a truly popular nationalist movement. 4. Until San Martin from Argentina landed in Pisco with a 4,500 men force, Spanish rule was not threatened. 5. He persuaded Jose Benardo de Tagle y Portocarrero that Peru's liberation was at hand and that he should proclaim independence. 6. Most of the cities in Peru were easy to liberate but San Martin could only take Lima when the viceroy decided towithdraw his forces to the Sierra. 7. July 28, 1821 San Martin proclaimed Peru to be independent. 8. To finish the job, San Martin needed to get rid of a leader known as King Jose. 9. He sought the help of another foreign liberator, Simon Bolivar to finish gaining Peruvian independence, however Simon Bolivar refused to agree to a shared partnership in the campaign so San Martin in fury resigned his position and left to become an exile in France. 10. Without Martin, Bolivar proceeded to invade Peru, but it turned out that his trusted Lieutenant General Antonio Jose de Sucre Alcala had to finish the job by defeating Spanish forces at the hacienda of Ayacucho near Huamanga on December 9, 1824. This ended all Spanish colonial rule in South America. ||
 * **Napoleon Effect?** || The Peruvians did not react the same way their neighboring countries did when King Ferdidnand VII was deposed from Spanish rule by Napoleon. This greatly delayed their fight for independence or even wish to be independent. ||
 * **Social/Ethnic Group Leaders** || Jose Benardo de Tagle y Portocarrero represented a creole whom wanted independence. ||
 * **Primary Leaders**? || San Martin, Jose Bernardo de Tagle y Portocarrero, Simon Bolivar, General Antonio Jose de Sucre Alcala ||
 * **Role of Armored Conflict** || If San Martin had not shown up in Pisco with 4,500 armed men, there probably wouldn't have been a Peruvian Revolutuion. ||
 * **Liberal Reforms?** || The only reform the paper mentions was the initial descision to revolt in the first place. ||
