The Peruvian War of Independence was initiated by the rebellion of the great indigenous leader Tupac Amaru II against the royalists from 1780 to 1781. Peru's freedom was finally attained after about a decade long struggle that lasted from 1811 to July 28, 1821 until José de San MartÃn proclaimed its independence.
Peru secured its freedom in series of battle led by Jose de San Martin of Argentina and Simon Bolivar of Venezuela.
The website of the International Coalition for Relgious Freedom states: "The 1979 Constitution of Peru provides for freedom of conscience and free exercise of religion. There is no state church, but the Constitution expressly recognizes the Catholic Church as an important element in the historic, cultural, and moral development of Peru.....The 1997 US State Department Report on Religious freedom says that conversion to other religions is respected and that missionaries are free to enter the country and proselytize." Therefore, there is freedom of religion in Peru. Related link: http://www.religiousfreedom.com/wrpt/Latam/peru.htm (ICRF Website)
