Ecuador and
Global Conflicts
Global Implications
Throughout the twentieth century, Ecuador was increasingly inserted deep into the world
market.
y. In the Cold War the country took
sides for the United States
broke relations with the Soviet Union and the
communist countries.
ECUADOR & THE TWO WORLD WARS
PAN AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF RIO DE JANEIRO (1942)
It promoted that most countries, including Ecuador, declare war on the powers of the axis. Ecuador was pressured to sign the Boundary Protocol with Peru, which yielded a good part of the territories it had claimed for more than a century. Ecuador allowed the establishment of US naval and air bases in the Galapagos and on the Santa Elena peninsula.
World War I (1914 - 1918)
Ecuador suffered restrictions on cocoa imports. Ecuador entered a crisis that lasted until the forties.
PEARL HARBOR (7-12-1941)
The pressure of President Roosevelt's "good neighborhood" policy led Latin American countries to support allies.
WORLD WAR II (1939 - 1945)
The European Market for imported products was severely restricted.
Ecuador and Latin America
The Cuban Revolution and the leftist groups had Cuba and Fidel Castro as political referents.
The debate continues, but it is widely accepted that Cuba has achieved important successes in education and health. It looks good that this country collaborates with ours in teams of literacy or brigades of doctors who treat diseases such as cholera and other epidemics.
In Ecuador, the influences of the Latin American processes were felt since the 1960s
Peoples' struggles against dictatorships have been very popular in Ecuador. National public opinion was in favor of the Sandinistas in Nicaragua and the Farabundo Martí Front in El Salvador
POLITICAL SPECTRUM
Ecuador and the World
Successive governments of the country have maintained adherence to United States
policies.
Having ceded to the United States a military base in Manta and proposals to sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States have aroused much controversy.
THE COLOMBIAN CONFLICT
Until the 1990s, that situation had had a rather reduced influence in our country, which
looked like an "island of peace."
The violence and insecurity of Colombian society have caused a current of displaced people, who cross the border and arrive in northern Ecuador in search of security and work.
In Colombia, since the forties, social and political conditions generated a permanent situation of violence. Insurrectional groups have remained on arms and violently confronted the Colombian State.
