Peru Economy In The Mid-1800s

In the opening pages of her novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee wrote these words: “There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with…but it was a time of vague optimism for some of the people: Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself.” Lee alludes to the seemingly inadequate reassurance that United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt provided during his inauguration speech at the onset of the Great Depression, while also describing the melancholy and hopelessness that many citizens felt. This sentiment, however, was not just confined to the United States—the impact of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 had also reverberated throughout Latin America, and

First, this paper will talk about Peru’s history. Peru has a unique and rich heritage among the nations of the Southern content. Peru has this rich heritage for over 10,000 years, and is one of the most harsh and inhospitable environments in the world. Peru has an empire that spanned a third of the South American continent. Peru also surpassed many of the great empires in world history, and also established a historic division and became divided economically, socially, politically, and between a semi feudal (Peru Facts and Culture).

The location brought the difficulties of the Andes. We traveled to the very rivers that sustained villages of rudimentary hunter-gatherer villages starting in 3600 B.C. to 2500 B.C. These evolved by 3000 B.C. by beginning to farm and ultimately became dignified civilizations. We discussed the first of them, the Chavin, found in the mountains from 900 B.C. to 200 B.C. We visited the site of their ruins that contained pyramids, plazas, and sizable earthen mounds. While having no evidence of any significant political or economical framework, they had an importance placed on their religious foundations. This, along with their art, carried on to the other cultures of the area. The Nazca lasted from 200 B.C. to A.D. 600 on the dry Southern coast of Peru. They were able to utilize agricultural techniques to their benefit to counteract the less-than-satisfactory land. What they were mostly known for was their textiles and pottery, but especially the Nazca Lines. These are around 1,000 pictures etched into the dry plain. To clearly see the image, you must get an ariel view, bringing up questions about the origins of these. I was even able to get to see one of them in the sky from a helicopter. Then there were the Moche on the northern coast of Peru A.D. 100 to A.D. 700, who were another to use irrigation for their crops. They created elaborate jewelry of gold, silver, and gems. Although they never developed a written language, the pottery they made was comprised of images of their customs and everyday

Capital punishment (death penalty) consists in killing (by humane, painless means) a convict; this penalty can be sentenced if the criminal perpetuate a serious crime, such as: murder, treason, terrorism, and espionage. Shamefully in Peru, crimes that should have been punished with capital sentence have incremented in 24% between 2011 and 2013; and it is estimated that in 2014 alone, more than 2000 of this types of crimes were perpetrated. The amount of serious crimes is constantly increasing, and show no signs of stopping anytime soon So, should capital punishment be applied for serious crimes in Peru? The logical answer is yes, and in the following lines, it will be explained why the application of this punishment is imperative.

In the 1400’s through the 1500”s there were the Aztec and Inca empires, both were empires that started out as marginalized peoples who conquered and absorbed other cultures. Aztec and Inca Empires were based on managing resources, goods, and people in an economy centered on intensive agriculture including having their currency systems. The economic characteristics of the Aztec and Inca empires were similar in that they both changed their environment to improve their agricultural system and they both focused on internal trade networks, however they differed in the way they taxed their people. The Aztecs were a triple alliance; three city states that banded together for the greater good. The joined civilizations were Mexico-Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, and Tlacopan. The Incas were located around modern day Peru, and are known as the largest empire in the pre-Columbian America.

Peru is located in western South America and it shares borders with Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador and the South Pacific Ocean. Peru is about 1.28 million square kilometers. There are three major regions in Peru: a narrow coastal belt, the wide Andean mountains and the Amazon Basin. The coast is mostly a desert, but contains Peru's major cities. The Andes has two main ranges - Cordillera Occidental and Oriental. Oriental includes Peru's highest mountain called Huascaran, it a peaks out at 22,200ft. On the east side is the Amazon Basin, a region of tropical lowland, the water there is carried out by the Maranon and Ucayali rivers.

Peru is much smaller in land mass and population and is unique in its culture. The history of the country is interesting; Peru was once part of the Incan Empire, the largest Native American Empire in the world. It started in Peru and made allies with other tribes to get to its massive size. The empire got about eight to ten million people before Francisco Pizarro came with his conquistadores. Francisco Pizarro started his conquest on 1531 and ended it in 1534. On July 28, 1821, Peru proclaimed its independence, but the Spanish were not finally defeated until 1824. The Mexican Native Americans known as the Aztecs were more cruel when expanding. They would raid other tribes and murder or sell off the people. They got to around 5 million inhabitants before Hernandez Cortez came and destroyed the empire with his army of Spaniards .

Peru gain minerals, as well as New Spain, gain gold and silver, “cochineal (little insects like flies), from which crimson dye is made, leather, cotton, sugar” and more. The King gets one fourth of the millions of pounds, tenth-part of the gold and silver which is minted to coins, in all he gets a fifth of what was formed. In the past years, there’s been an abundance of gold and silver on the earth surface but now, the million pounds of gold and silver is unlikely to be the same. To get much more gold and silver, they would have to dig deep into the earth surface, which requires special training and guidelines. But, the Spaniards was not willing to do the digging, nor was the Indians going to do it either because they were freed by the Emperor

The Guano Age in Peru began with the increased demand for Guano as a fertilizer. In 1840, Liebig provided the scientific evidence of the benefits of fertilizers such as guano. Peru was a huge distributor of Guano, which led to their economic boom. In Peru’s war for independence, they took out loans from Britain, and Britain was the chief market for Guano. The distribution of guano provided the Peruvians with the leverage they needed to redeem its debt to Britain.
