Bolivia is a
landlocked country in central
South America. It is bordered by
Brazil to the north and east,
Paraguay and
Argentina to the south,
Chile by the south west, and
Peru by the west. Prior to
European colonization, the
Andean region of Bolivia was a part of the
Inca Empire – the largest state in
Pre-Columbian America. The
Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. During most of the Spanish colonial period, this territory was called
Upper Peru and was under the administration of the
Viceroyalty of Peru, which included most of
Spain's South American colonies. After declaring independence in 1809, 16 years of war followed before the establishment of the
Republic, named for
Simón Bolívar, on 6 August 1825. Bolivia has struggled through periods of political instability,
dictatorships and economic woes.
