Wow, that's a lot to ask for on WikiAnswers, but I will try. In prehistoric times Asians migrated to the Americas. In South America the Incas (in the country known today as Peru) developed an impressive empire before being conquered by Francsisco Pizarro in the 1500's. All of South America was ruled by Spain except for Brazil which was ruled by Portugal. Spanish South America won its independence from Spain under an officer named Simon Bolivar, but it fragmented into several countried thereafter. Bolivia is named after Simon Bolivar as Columbia is named after Christopher Columbus.
