History
Peru officially established bilateral relations with modern Germany's predecessors in 1828,[1] among them the North German Confederation in 1870 (which was succeeded by the German Empire)[2] and have since maintained diplomatic relations with two exceptions where Peru has severed its relations: in October 1917, as a result of World War I (later reestablished in 1921)[3][4][5] and January 26, 1942, as a result of the German declaration of war against the United States during World War II.[1]
After the Second World War, relations were reestablished in 1951, with the Federal Republic of Germany.[6][7] After the 1968 Peruvian coup d'état and the establishment of Juan Velasco Alvarado's Revolutionary Government, relations with the German Democratic Republic were also established on December 28, 1972.[1][7][8] Following German reunification in 1990, relations continued to be maintained with the Federal Government of Germany.
