History
editBoth countries established relations in the 19th century. In 1851, Austria-Hungary recognized the independence of Peru, and both countries subsequently established relations.[1] By 1859, ethnic Germans from Austria and Germany established and founded the colony of Pozuzo.[1][2]
As a result of World War I, Peru severed relations with both Germany and Austria-Hungary, reestablishing them with the First Austrian Republic after the war.[3] After the incorporation of Austria into the German Reich in 1938, Peru ceased to have relations with Austria, instead continuing its relations with Germany until 1942.[4] During this period, the Austrian population in Peru saw itself polarized between Austrian loyalists and National Socialists.[5]
In 1947, Peru recognized the Republic of Austria,[1][6] and in 1949, bilateral relations were resumed, being elevated to embassy level in 1968.[1]
