Peru

The Socialist Republic of Peru (Spanish: República Socialista de Peru) is a country in South America, located to the south of Ecuador and Colombia, north of Chile and Bolivia and to the west of Brazil. It shares a long coastline with the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Andes mountains run through much of the country. It was one of the earliest socialist states to rise during the 1930s, following the communist victory in the Peruvian Revolutionary War against Óscar R. Benavides. It is one of the members of the Comintern-affiliated Panamerican Union.
