The encomienda system was a system of forced labor imposed on the indigenous peoples of the Americas by the Spanish conquistadors. Under this system, the Spanish were granted large tracts of land and the right to exploit the labor of the indigenous people who lived on those lands. Túpac Amaru II, a leader of the indigenous Quechua people in Peru, led a rebellion against the Spanish in 1780.
