HISTORY When the first spaniards arrive to what is now Colombia, the largest and widespread culture was the Chibchas. They were concentrated mainly in the highland basins and valleys of the Cordillera Oriental. The first Spanish settelment was established in 1510 on the coast of the Gulf of Uraba (Caribbean Sea) but was abandoned after a few years. Santa Marta and Cartagena (founded in 1525 and 1533, respectively) were the earliest permanent settlements. Bogota was founded in 1538, followed by more than twenty other settlements by the middle of the sixteenth century. About the same time, spaniards moving northward from Peru reached southern Colombia and founded Pasto and Popayan. Spanish settlement grew and expanded during the seventeenth century, stimulated by the sources of gold and silver. Gradually, an increasing number of sttlers turned to agriculture. Large estates were established using the Indians and later Africans for forced labor. Colombia was part of the territory known as the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada (established in 1740), which also extended over present-day Panama, Venezuela, and Ecuador . The population of Colombia was estimated at aproximately 800,000 in 1770. It is believed to have crossed the 1-million mark early in the nineteenth century.

An Overview of Recent Colombian History XIX Century After achieving its independence from Spain, Colombia experiences numerous civil confrontations and uprisings. By the middle of the century, religious, economic and political powers were concentrated in a handful of families. There were reactions against the oligarchic society's hierarchic racism like the 1841 war in which slaves and indigenous peoples rebelled against their masters. While often characterized as conflict between the incipient liberal and conservative movements, many of these wars reflected a confrontation between the privileged and the underclass. The liberal and conservative parties begin to take form in Colombia. During their formation process that would extend into the early XX century, the philosophies of the parties underwent various transformations. The Constitution of 1886 consolidated the central government and eliminated federalism as a means to counteract the state of institutional chaos and fiscal bankruptcy, and to end rivalries among political chieftains. However, many democratic rights were suspended. Persecution against radical sectors opposing the government led to the War of the Thousand Days. The war is followed by a period of brutal repression of the union movement and of indigenous people that extended into the 1920s. This war consolidated the bipartisan system.

Peace for Colombia: A Great Alliance Against Crime I wish to give thanks for the opportunity to appear in this forum where important analysts of American and Latin American life come together to speak on issues of peace and human rights. I wish to title my presentation "Peace for Colombia: A Great Alliance Against Crime." The Colombian crisis is a summation of crises that have gone unresolved throughout our history. Colombia has known peace and security only for brief periods, and is characterized instead as a country of high levels of violence and human rights violations. The Colombian political process is markedly behind in matters of both mechanisms for political participation and the democratic distribution of opportunities. An important factor in this backwardness is a regional disparity resulting from both contemporary obstacles and the weight of history.... The primary guerrilla force in Colombia is the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. They have achieved considerable development to the point that many consider them a true army. The sustainability of the Colombian insurgency is explainable to a great extent by its irregular war practices. These include kidnaping, providing armed protection for narcotics growers (though one cannot justify identifying the guerrilla as a drug cartel), hold-ups of regional development banks, and extortion of periodic payments (the so-called "

Welcome Travelogues Pre-Colombian History in South America These few notes aim to provide some historical background to better understand the events that have shaped the people I have met in the countries I visited in South America. According to conventional wisdom, South America has been inhabited for about 20,000 years by hunters and gatherers who began developing agriculture around 4000 BC Christ using the slash and burn technique still used today by some isolated tribes of Amazonia. The first permanent agricultural settlements appeared about 3 500 BC in areas where the quasi nomadic slash and burn technique was not applicable such as the coastal river valleys that required irrigation to control the seasonal runoff from the Andes and the highlands where it was necessary to build terraces to create farmable land. These new labour intensive agricultural techniques required a consensus on how the collective efforts of each community should be spent and that required stable structures based on a common set of values and beliefs. Each community invented their own gods which were generally concerned with keeping a calendar of the seasons and with providing fertility to the land and the people. Little is known of these early religions that developed independently during 1000 years in many places on the coast ( Valdivia , Huaca Prieta, Salinas de Chao, Aspero, Piedra Parada, El Paraiso), and in the highlands (Kotosh, Shillacoto, Wairai-jirca, Huaricoto, La Galgada, Piruru).
