Résumé
"Peruvian history has been divided into three major periods: the pre-Hispanic period, from the arrival of the first human beings to the fall of the Inca empire in 1532; the colonial or Spanish period, between 1532 and 1821; and the… republican or independent period, between 1821 and the present. This proposal assumed the prevailing political organization as a classificatory axis. Thus we had, at the beginning, indigenous lordships that, on the eve of the European incursion, had taken on an imperial political form; a centralized government subject to the directives of a distant monarchic center, later, and, finally, an elected government, formally independent although constrained by commercial and political relations with other countries and organizations of the world. In this book on the history of Peru, this division is basically maintained, partly for practical reasons (it is the way in which the history of other countries of the world is also periodized and to which the readers are accustomed), and partly, also, because we believe that it is correct in assuming that the political organization of a nation has a determining force for the formation of the other aspects of the development of a society." -- Translation provided by NLS
