Peru · Age of Revolutions
Juntas rose elsewhere while viceroys continued to rule from Lima. Peru’s elite feared Andean revolt more than Spanish rule, remembering the great Túpac Amaru rising of 1780–83, in which about 100,000 died. Liberation came from outside: San Martín arrived by sea in 1821, followed by Bolívar and Sucre by land. At Ayacucho in 1824, Spain’s mainland empire ended on Peruvian ground.
