The independence day of a nation commemorates the anniversary of a very significant day in the history of a country's struggle in the attainment of its freedom. The Independence Day of Peru is celebrated on 28, July to commemorate the anniversary of Peru's independence from Spanish rule in the year 1824. The Peruvian independence was first declared in 1821 by the Argentine liberator, General Jose de San Martin but absolute independence was gained only in 1824. On the Independence Day of Peru, every citizen pays tribute to the great patriots like Tupic Amaru, Pumacahua, Aguilar, and Micaela Bastidas, for all the sacrifices they made in order to re-instate the country's independence.
Peru's national hero is José de la Riva-Agüero, who played a significant role in the country's fight for independence from Spanish colonial rule. He became the first president of Peru in 1823, symbolizing the struggle for freedom and national identity. His contributions to the independence movement and the establishment of the Peruvian state are celebrated in the country’s history.
The last country in South America to achieve independence from Spain was Peru. It declared its independence on July 28, 1821, although the fight for independence continued until 1824, when the last Spanish stronghold was defeated at the Battle of Ayacucho. Peru's struggle was part of a broader series of independence movements across Latin America during the early 19th century.
