=Peru Independence Day=

Peru Independence Day takes place on July 28th each year. It symbolizes the day Peru gained independence from Spain in the year 1821. The celebration lasts for two days. The holiday usually contains loud music and 21-gun salutes to the Peruvian military and police. In the 15th century, the Spanish took control of Peru and much of South America. The Peru natives fought back to the best of their ability and finally took control of Lima, declaring it a free city. After that, they fought for the freedom of the rest of Peru. After the Battle of Ayacucho, the last battle of the war, the whole country gained freedom.
