	Peru -> History on Encyclopedia.com 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Peru has been inhabited since at least the 9th millennium BC, and the earliest known American civilization emerged there in the Norte Chico region c.3000 BC Peru was later the center of several developed cultures, including the Chavín (see Chavín de Huántar), the Chimu, and the Nazca.
		Peru's loyalty to Spain was due to the relatively large number of Spaniards who resided there, to the concentration of Spanish power at Lima, and to the efficiency of the government in the viceroyalty.
		Peru continued to be torn by civil strife until the emergence of Gen. Ramón Castilla, who was president from 1844 to 1850 and from 1855 to 1862.
