Túpac Amaru II

Túpac Amaru II was a Peruvian indigenous leader who led a major rebellion against the Spanish colonial authorities in the late 18th century. He was the last Inca emperor and is considered a national hero in Peru. Amaru was born in 1742 in the town of Surimana, Peru. He received a Jesuit education and became a skilled leader and orator. Amaru's rebellion was ultimately unsuccessful, but he remains a symbol of resistance against colonialism and oppression.
