In 1534, the Spanish arrived and defeated the Inca armies, and Spanish colonists became the new elite. The indigenous population was decimated by disease in the first decades of Spanish rulea time when the natives also were forced into the "encomienda" labor system for Spanish landlords. In 1563, Quito became the seat of a royal "audiencia" (administrative district) of Spain. Independence and Historical Developments Political Instability (1997-2006) Quito mayor Jamil Mahuad of the Popular Democracy party was elected president by a narrow margin in July 1998. Mahuad concluded an historic peace agreement with Peru on October 26, 1998, but increasing economic, fiscal, and financial difficulties drove his popularity steadily lower. On January 21, 2000, during demonstrations in Quito by indigenous groups, the military and police refused to enforce public order. Demonstrators entered the congressional building and declared a three-person "junta" in charge of the country. Field-grade military officers declared their support for the concept. During a night of confusion and negotiations, President Mahuad fled the presidential palace. Vice President Gustavo Noboa took charge and Mahuad went on national television to endorse Noboa as his successor. Congress met in emergency session in Guayaquil the same day, January 22, and ratified Noboa as President of the Republic.

Galapagos Islands Ecuador History (Page 3 of 3) Conservatives and Liberals Ecuador suffered a long regional conflict throughout the history of its existence as a republic. The first president, Juan Jose Flores, was highly criticized throughout his term and had to staunch several revolutions that wanted Bolivar's dream to be realized, a Gran Colombia. After Flores, there were 8 different presidents until Gabriel Garcia Moreno came to power from 1869 to 1875. Moreno's government was characterized by the severity of its politics. Moreno did not tolerate any other religion apart from Catholicism, he pushed education until it was made mandatory and began the unification of the country with the construction of a railroad from Guayaquil to Quito. Garcia Moreno confronted several liberal thinking sectors who finally assassinated him in 1875 during his second term. The supporters of Garcia Moreno and the liberals fought for power during the terms of 5 more presidents until the arrival of Eloy Alfaro. Since Eloy Alfaro, who began his term as president in 1897, the liberals have governed Ecuador. During his two terms, Alfaro managed to build the railway from Guayaquil to Quito that was begun by Moreno and pushed for national unity. Conservative sectors of Quito joined with the church and managed to assassinate Eloy Alfaro and ushered in a new period run by the Cacao plantation owning liberals from the Coast.

Ecuador History Ecuador history After World War II, a recovery in the market for agricultural commodities and the growth of the banana industry helped restore prosperity and political peace. From 1948-60, three presidentsbeginning with Galo Plazawere freely elected and completed their terms. Recession and popular unrest led to a return to populist politics and domestic military interventions in the 1960s, while foreign companies developed oil resources in the Ecuadorian Amazon. With the oil boom fading, Ecuador returned to democracy in 1979, but by 1982, the government faced an economic crisis, characterized by inflation, budget deficits, a falling currency, mounting debt service, and uncompetitive industries. In the 1984 elections there was no clear majority in the national congress, and the Conservative Leon Febres Cordero became president on a promise of ‘bread, roofs, and jobs’. In 1985 he won a majority in congress when five opposition members shifted their allegiance to him.

Galapagos Islands Ecuador History (Page 2 of 3) The arrival of the Spaniards Francisco Pizarro left the island of Panama for the conquest of land for Spain in Peru. The Spaniards founded San Miguel de Piura on November 17 in Cajamarca and took the Incan ruler, Atahualpa, prisoner. Atahualpa offered rooms filled with gold in exchange for his freedom. Under the rule of Virreinato from Peru, the Real Audiencia de Quito was established which later formed part of Virreinato de Santa Fe. The Real Audiencia of Quito, inhabited by Spaniards and indigenous people, assumed control of the territory and communities that lived in what is now known as Ecuador. Independence and Republic life Later, with the Independence of Esmeraldas on August 5, 1820, the rest of the cities began seceding from what formed part of the Real Audiencia de Quito. On October 9, 1820, the independence of Guayaquil was won. On the 24th of May of 1822, the mariscal Antonio Jose de Sucre achieved independence for Quito and all of the territory of the Audiencia de Quito and thus of Ecuador. Between the time of achieving independence until 1830, the territories that were independent joined with Gran Colombia. The proposal by Bolivar for Gran Colombia, however, failed and allowed the construction of a republican state called Ecuador. The Republic of Ecuador was characterized by constant internal political battles and it was difficult for the different regions to unite because each region was seeking its own economic independence.

you are here home South America Ecuador History Ecuador, History Architectural remains of ancient civilizations dating back thousands of years, and probably related to the Maya civilization of Central America, have been discovered in Ecuador. The present-day city of Quito served as the fortified capital of several Native American groups and is one of three cities in the Americas that antedate the coming of the Europeans. The other two are Mexico City, capital of the Aztec Empire, and Cuzco, Peru, capital of the Inca Empire. Quito was the center of the ancient Native American kingdom of Quito, which was conquered by the Inca Empire in the late 15th century. None of these pre-European civilizations left written records of their cultures. The Inca dominated the Native American tribes of Ecuador and provided the major military obstacles to the early Spanish invaders, who eventually conquered the region in the 16th century. deeper links Spanish Rule Independence Regimes of Flores and Rocafuerte Garcia Moreno and Eloy Alfaro ...

Galapagos Specials HISTORY OF ECUADOR AND THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS Ecuador's history is rich and colorful, spanning some 12,000 year of human civilization from early tribal settlers to grand empires and kingdoms, Inca lords and Spanish conquistadors, legends of gold and treachery, colonization and rebellion, and finally democracy and independence. Yet the human history of the Galapagos Islands is relatively recent, dating back a few centuries when wayward ships and pirates found food and shelter in the islands. Later, whalers and colonists made their homes along the shores. The famed naturalist Charles Darwin visited the islands in 1835 and his five week stay had a profound affect on his thinking. His theory of evolution rocked the scientific world when it was published in 1859 in the text of his book, The Origins of Species . The Galapagos were declared a National Park in 1967 and a marine sanctuary was established in 1998.
