    Extractions: In the early 1920s, the army entered the political fray, claiming that only it could sustain national unity. The period between 1925 and 1948, when the military finally conceded that they did not have a legitimate political role, was one of the most turbulent in the country's history, with continual changes of government, along with economic and administrative chaos. The inter-city rivalry persisted as before. After 1948, civilian administrations predominated with power alternating between Liberals (from the Costa) and Conservatives (from the Sierra). The discovery of oil and the sharp increase in world oil prices in the late and mid-70s should have transformed Ecuador's economic fortunes. However, the windfall was largely squandered, and the poor domestic economic situation has led to regular outbreaks of civil and labour unrest.

67. Discover Ecuador: Brief History Of Ecuador
    Brief history of ecuador The history of preInca ecuador is diverse,advanced indigenous cultures such as the Chorrera, Jama Coaque  
    http://www.ecuaworld.com/discover/historia.htm
    
    Extractions: 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.

    http://www.ecuaworld.com/history_of_ecuador.htm
    
    Extractions: Ecuador offers little archeological evidence of its preHispanic civilizations. Nonetheless, its most ancient artifacts remnants of the Valdivia culture found along the coast north of the modern city of Santa Elena in Guayas Provincedate from as early as 3500 B.C.. Other major coastal archaeological sites are found in the provinces of Manabí and Esmeraldas; major sites in the Sierra are found in Carchi and Imbabura provinces in the north, Tungurahua and Chimborazo provinces in the middle of the Andean highlands, and Cañar, Azuay, and Loja provinces in the south. Nearly all of these sites are dated in the last 2,000 years. Large parts of Ecuador, including almost all of the Oriente, however, remain unknown territory to archaeologists. The first European to set foot on the territory of modern-day Ecuador was probably Bartolomé Ruiz de Estrada, the pilot for Pizarro on his second voyage, who pushed southward while Pizarro explored the Colombian coast and Almargo returned to Panama for supplies. Pizarro himself landed on the Ecuadorian coast later during his exploratory voyage and traveled as far as Tumbes in the extreme north of present-day Peru, in defiance of official orders to return to Panama.

    Extractions: home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks The history of pre-Inca Ecuador is lost in a misty tangle of time and legend, and the earliest historical details date back only as far as the 11th century AD. It is commonly believed that Asian nomads reached the South American continent by about 12,000 BC and were later joined by Polynesian colonizers. 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 AD. Despite fierce opposition, the conquering Incas soon held the region, helped by strong leadership and policies of intermarriage. War over the inheritance of the new Inca kingdom weakened and divided the region on the eve of the arrival of the Spanish invaders. There were no major uprisings by the Ecuadorian Indians, though life was abysmal under Spanish rule. Spain ruled the colony from Lima, Peru, until 1739, when it was transferred to the viceroyalty of Colombia. It was largely rural and conservative, with large estates of introduced cattle and bananas farmed by forced labor. Over the last 100 years, assassinations and political instability have increasingly invoked military intervention, and the 20th century has seen more periods of military rule than of civilian. In 1941, neighboring Peru invaded Ecuador and seized much of the country's Amazonian area. The 'new' border between the two countries - initially agreed upon and ratified by the 1942 Rio de Janeiro treaty - was finally recognized by both counties in a 1998 treaty. The squabbling ultimately died down because both countries were eager to impress potential foreign investors, who tend to be scared off by territorial skirmishes.

    Extractions: The smallest country in the rugged Andean highlands, Ecuador is among the most rewarding travel destinations in South America. With its array of vibrant indigenous cultures, well preserved colonial architecture, otherworldly volcanic landscapes and dense rainforest, it packs its perimeters with more points of interest than many countries twice its size. Touch down in its picture-perfect capital, Quito, and you are no more than a day's drive from a slog through all-swallowing Amazonian jungle, a snow swept ascent of an active volcano, a sociable haggle with indigenous artesanos or a welcome wallow on a tropical beach. And all that in a nation no bigger than the US state of Nevada. Though most travel in Ecuador is relatively safe, economic instability provoking unrest in the country's recent past does warrant that extra bit of caution from the traveler. Since the national state of emergency declared in January 2001 - in the wake of a popular uprising inspired by the Council of Indigenous Nations of Ecuador (CONAIE) and the resignation of ex-president Jamil Mahaud - the security situation has been shaky. The aftermath saw riot police and protesters going to battle, general strikes, road blockades and even bombings. That said, things have settled down of late, and street crime - usually of a non-violent nature - in Quito and Guayaquil remains the most common hazard to those on the tourist trail. Travel to the northeastern regions, particularly Sucumbios and Orellana provinces, is not advised. If you really must be in the Colombia-Ecuador border areas (again, not advised), exercise sense and caution. Oh, and it's a good idea to steer clear of mass demonstrations, as these often have potential to unleash all sorts of nasties, from both protesters and police. Most importantly, just stay aware of what's going on locally and in the world.

    Extractions: It is generally believed that Asian nomads reached South America by about 12,000 BC, and were later joined by Polynesian colonizers. Archaeologists trace the first inhabitants in the area we now know as Ecuador to 10,000 BC, when hunters and gatherers established settlements on the coast and the central highlands. By 3000 BC three distinct agricultural-based civilizations had emerged, producing some of the hemisphere's oldest known pottery. They developed trade routes with tribes from nearby Peru, Brazil, and the Amazon region. By 500 BC large coastal cities had been established. Their inhabitants had sophisticated metalworking and navigational skills and they traded with the Maya of Mexico. These civilizations prospered and in 1460 AD were powerful enough to repel the invading Inca. Though the tribes of Ecuador first held the Inca at bay, they ultimately were defeated by Huayna Capac. The Inca originated in Peru, and established a vast empire within a century. This dynamic, rapidly advancing society dominated Peru and extended their control into Bolivia and central Chile. The Inca built huge monumental cities and connected them with wide, stone-paved highways hundreds of miles long. After conquering Ecuador, Huayna Capac indoctrinated the tribes to Quechua, the language of the Incas, which is still widely spoken in Ecuador. To celebrate his victory, Huayna Capac ordered that a great city be built near present day Cuenca. This monument, Tomebamba, actually rivaled the Inca capital of Cuzco. When he died in 1526, Huayna Capac divided the empire between his two sons, Atahualpa and Huascar. Atahualpa ruled the northern reaches from Tomebamba, while Huascar held court over the south from Cuzco. The brothers soon entered into a civil war for control of the Inca empire, which was untimely, as the Spaniards arrived the same year.

    Extractions: Little is known about the earliest arrival of humanity in the New World the date has been set as early as 80,000 years ago, and as recently as 20,000. There is general agreement, however, that the beginning in 3000 BC, society began to move toward permanent settlements and communities, a change usually indicated by the presence of pottery. And the earliest substantial evidence of pottery in the New World is found along the coast of Ecuador . The Valdivian site at Alta Loma is rich in pottery decorated by carved motifs and colored clays. The ancient town of some 2,000 people at Real Alto was adding ceremonial temples to its architecture by 1500 BC, and sculpted female figurines and other forms suggest a degree of artisitic as well as ritualistic purpose. The pre-historic Valdivian culture of today's Manabí Province thus argues that Ecuador is not a poor sister to New World civilizations the Incas to the south and the Mayas to the north but perhaps their ancestor.

The Inca leader, Atahualpa, was ambushed, held for ransom, 'tried' and executed, and the Inca empire was effectively demolished. Quito held out for two years but was eventually razed by Atahualpa's general:
