After the Sendero Luminoso's (Shining Path) attacks in Chuppac, Department of Ayacucho, which occurred on April 8, 1990, the people of that community set up peasant patrols with the support of the Peruvian Army. Between 1980 and 2000, the armed conflict in Peru claimed the lives of some 70,000 people making it the bloodiest war in Peruvian history since the European colonization.
