HISTORY
The coastal region and the high Andean basins of what is now Ecuador were inhabited by Indian tribes when the first Europeans reached the area's Pacific coast in 1526. The Inca Empire extended over the highland region to an area near to Quito . The first Spanish settlement in Ecuador was established in 1534 at Quito on the site of an important Inca town of the same name. Another settlement was established four years later near the mouth of the river Guayas on the site of Guayaquil. Expeditions initaited by Francisco Pizarro, who discovered and conquered Peru , founded the settlements and extended Spanish rule over the highland basins and coastal lowlands. Ecuador was part of the Viceroyalty of Peru until 1740, when it was transferred to the Viceroyalty of New Granada (together with Colombia and Venezuela). With hardly any gold or silver, Ecuador did not attract many Europeans settlers during the Spanish colonial period, which lasted until 1822. The first uprising against Spanish rule took place in 1809, but only in 1822 did Ecuador gain independence as part of the Federation of Gran Colombia, from which it withdrew in 1830. A long period of strife and instability followed, caused mainly by struggles between conservative and liberal elements, clerical and anticlerical movements, and large landowners and owners of small farms or platations. The country was run by dictators, and the army palyed an important role in internal politics. During the first century of its independence, Ecuador had changed its contitutions 13 times and only few of its presidents had managed to serve a full four-year term.

About Ecuador A Brief History of Ecuador By: Christopher Sacco Related EE.com Pages Books on Ecuador Museums Vital Statistics History of Ecuador on Live Travel Guides Ecuador's tumultuous history is, paradoxically, cyclical; Ecuador remains tempestuous and struggles to advance because of deep-rooted sociological, geographical, economic, and political features. The same issues that determined Ecuador's direction in the last two centuries, continue to dominate its historical landscape at the beginning of the twenty first century. Four key themes remain essential to understanding Ecuador: First, the vast majority of the nation's wealth sits in the hands of a very few, a diminutive middle class struggles to survive, and more than half of the country's population exists at or below the poverty level. Ecuador's highly inequitable economic and social structure can be traced to colonial era racial discrimination and land tenure patterns, and to its dominant European cultural expressions.

Like much of South America, Ecuadorian culture blends the influences of Spanish colonialism with the resilient traditions of pre-Columbian peoples. Archaeologists trace the first inhabitants as far back as 10,000 BC, when hunters and gatherers established settlements on the southern coast and in the central highlands. By 3,200 BC three distinct agricultural-based civilizations had emerged, producing some of the hemisphere's oldest known pottery. They developed trade routes with nearby Peru, Brazil, and Amazonian tribes. Culture continued to thrive and diversify, and by 500 BC large cities had been established along the coast. Their inhabitants had sophisticated metalworking and navigational skills and they traded with Mexico's Maya. In 1460 AD, when the Inca ruler Tupac-Yupanqui invaded from the south, three major tribes in Ecuador were powerful enough to give him a fight: the Canari, the Quitu, and the Caras. The Incas were a dynamic, rapidly advancing society. They originated in a pocket of Peru, but established a vast empire within a century. It dominated Peru and extended as far as Bolivia and central Chile. The Inca constructed massive, monumental cities. To communicate across their empire they laid wide, stone-paved highways thousands of kilometers long and sent chains of messengers along them. These mailmen passed each other records of the empire's status, which were coded in system of knots along a rope. A winded runner could even rest in the shade of trees planted along both sides of the road. Remarkably, the Canari, Quitu, and Caras were able to hold back Tupac-Yupanqui, though they proved less successful against his son, Huayna Capac. After conquering Ecuador, Huayna Capac indoctrinated the tribes to Quechua, the language of the Incas, which is still widely spoken in Ecuador.

Hoteles en Ecuador Historia del Ecuador - El territorio ecuatoriano conformó la región norte del Imperio Inca, teniendo su centro en Quito . En 1526 exploradores españoles llegaron a la costa del actual Ecuador. La lucha interna por la sucesión entre Huáscar y Atahualpa disminuyó el poderío del Imperio, facilitando su conquista por Sebastián de Benalcázar en 1534. Inicialmente, este territorio formó parte del Virreinato del Perú, incorporándose en 1717 al de Nueva Granada.
    A pesar de los tempranos movimientos separatistas, el ejército libertador al mando del General Antonio José de Sucre, logró imponerse recién en 1822. Tras la victoria, la Real Audicencia se incorporó a la Gran Colombia, de la que también formaban parte Venezuela, Colombia y Panamá. En 1830 se independizó, adoptando el nombre de República del Ecuador. El primer presidente fue el general venezolano Juan José Flores, quien representaba los interese del grupo ultraconservador.
    En 1833 estalló una guerra civil entre los conservadores en Quito y los liberales, la cual dio pasó a una serie de conflictos de los que surgieron regímenes dictatoriales. En 1895 la Revolución Liberal comandada por Eloy Alfaro llevó a este al poder, dictándose durante su segundo período (1907-1911) una constitución liberal. Alfaro fue asesinado en 1912 y el país quedó bajó la influencia económica del imperio británico.

    Partly as a result of this, the Liberal/Conservative stranglehold on domestic politics was broken in 1988, when the Izquierda Democratica (Democratic Left) party took over as the largest party in a coalition government. The right recovered its control during the early 1990s but, in May 1996, the presidential election was won by the Bucaram Ortiz of the Partido Roldosista Ecuatoriano (PRE). The PRE was little more than a vehicle for Bucaram, who had a reputation as a charismatic though eccentric politician. Unfortunately, he was entirely unsuited to presidential office, and his bizarre personal behavior and irresponsible attitude towards the conduct of government led Congress to impeach him in February 1997. Bucaram promptly fled into exile in Panama, although he has since returned and contested the 2002 presidential election (see below) in which he came fifth, polling a respectable 12 per cent.
    Government
    The constitution was approved by national referendum in 1978, taking effect in 1979. The President, elected for a term of four years, holds executive power. He is assisted by the Vice President and a Cabinet, which includes 12 Ministers and a Secretary General. Legislative power is unicameral and resides in the House of Representatives, with 69 members; there are 12 national representatives and the remainder represent the provinces.

    Brief history of Ecuador:
    The history of pre-Inca Ecuador is diverse, advanced indigenous cultures such as the Chorrera, Jama Coaque, Bahia, Tolita, Machalilla and Valdivia ( the oldest known culture in the Americas ), flourished between 12,000 B.C. to 1,500 A.D. in the territory that today is Ecuador. It is generally believed that Asian nomads reached the South American continent by about 12,000 BC, and were later joined by Polynesian colonisers. Centuries of tribal expansion, warfare and alliances resulted in the relatively stable Duchicela lineage, which ruled more or less peacefully for about 150 years until the arrival of the Incas around 1450. Despite fierce opposition, the conquering Incas soon held the region, helped by strong leadership and polices of intermarriage. By the early 1500s, the Inca Leader Huayna Capac had consolidated his conquest of the territory that included Ecuador. War over the inheritance of the new Inca kingdom weakened and divided the region on the eve of the arrival of the Spanish invaders.
