TĂşpac Amaru II
Túpac Amaru II (March 19, 1742 Peru – May 18 1781) — born José Gabriel Condorcanqui — was the leader of an indigenous uprising in 1780 against the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Although unsuccessful, he later became a mythical figure in the Peruvian struggle for independence and indigenous rights movement and an inspiration to a myriad of causes in Peru.
