So, what about Lima, Peru?
A Bit of The History of Lima
Lima is the capital city of Peru which was created by a Spanish conqueror by name of Francisco Pizarro. It was created in January 1535 and was referred to as the City of the Kings which roughly translates to Ciudad de los Reyes in Spanish.
After Pizarro defeated the Inca Empire that previously inhabited the region, Lima was turned to the Viceroyalty of Peru, a seat of power that presided over the zones with Spanish interests in South America. During the course of the colonial era of Spanish rule, majority of Spain’s business dealings with the continent was routed through Callao which is a close city to Lima as well as Peru’s major seaport. This was the sole reason that Lima was captured by Pizarro. This trade strategy happened during the entire three years of Spanish colonial rule.
As a result of this, Lima became an economic strong power in the entire South American region.
War and terrorism in Lima
However, during the War of the Pacific, the economic significance of Lima reduced. It was a fortress for battle troops that supported Spanish colonization of South America. In 1821, the city was taken over by General Jose de San Martin, a front runner of the independence movement and after five years it was announced as the capital of Peru.
However, between the years of 1881 and 1883, Lima was occupied by troops from Chile during the war that made the government of Peru seek refuge in the mountainous region of the Andes.
From 1980 to 1990 the city was terrorized by the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) and the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA). However, both terrorist groups have since been over powered in 1996 and 1997 respectively.
Present day in Lima
Presently, Lima is still a prominent city in South America, and vastly features fascinating and awesome relics of the Inca Empire as well as other side attractions. Lima is still a preferred destination for Spanish tourist and businessmen. However, economically it is rivaled in South America by Buenos Aires (Argentina), La Paz (Bolivia) and of course Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
