HISTORY
An advanced civilization, the Chavin, appeared as the first consolidation of a Pan Andean culture.
The next Pan Andean culture was the Wari, which expanded from the central Sierra in Ayacucho between A.D. 900 and 1200.
Finally, the Incas stored out of Cusco to conquer the largest empire ever seen in South America.
The arrival of the Spanish conquerors in 1532 dealt a severe blow to the Andean world, a rupture in two millennia of self sustained development.
The Americas were incorporated into an alien feudal order on which the natives were chattel.
In 1780, Tupac Amaru II, who traced his lineage back to the Incas, led a rebellion against the Spanish crown and this system of exploitation.
