In Peru, the government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado (1968-1975) welcomed the formalized effigy of Tupaq Amaru II as a symbol of the Gobierno Revolucionario de la Fuerza Armada (Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces) that he headed, to date, the only government of leftist ideology in the history of Peru. He recognized him as a national hero. In 1968, which was a novelty since independence the symbol of Tupaq Amaru II was carried by Peruvian education and official historiography. In his honor one of the main rooms of the Government Palace was named after him. That room until then was Francisco Pizarro room and that his picture was replaced by that of the indigenous rebel.
