Extractions: 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.

http://www.ecuador.us/history.htm

Extractions: E cuador's culture and history mirrors the diversity of its landscape. 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 Inca 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.

After conquering Ecuador, Huayna Capac indoctrinated the tribes to Quechua, the language of the Incas, which is still widely spoken in Ecuador. In celebration of his victory, Huayna Capac ordered a great city to be built at Tomebamba, near Cuenca. Its size and influence rivaled the capital of Cuzco in Perua rivalry that would mature with posterity. When he died in 1526, Huayna Capac divided the empire between his two sons, Atahualpa and Huascar. Atahualpa ruled the northern reaches from Tombebamba, while Huascar held court over the south from Cuzco. The split inheritance was an unconventional and fateful move, as the first Spaniards arrived in the same year. On the eve of Pizarro's expedition into the empire, the brothers entered into a civil war for complete control.

Extractions: Expedition Cruises Ecuador's cultural heritage is as impressive as its physical beauty. The nation was part of the Inca empire until it fell to the Spanish conquistadors in 1534. In that same year, Inca general Ruminahui razed Quito to keep it from being captured by the invaders. Refounded as the colonial capital, Quito became famous in the 17th and 18th centuries as an art center - there are no finer examples of Spanish colonial architecture, sculpture and paintings than those produced in Ecuador at that time. The old colonial center has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its beauty. Like the rest of South America, Ecuador underwent a period of turmoil as it attempted to cast off Spanish rule in the early 1800s. Independence was won by the armies of Simon Bolivar, with the key battles in Ecuador being won by Antonio Jose de Sucre, one of Bolivar's field marshals. (Ecuador's former currency was named in honor of Sucre.) After unsuccessful federation with Colombia and Venezuela, Ecuador became an independent nation in 1830 and began the long, difficult road toward political stability. During this period, there wasn't much job security in being leader of Ecuador. In the first 95 years of independence (1822-1917), Ecuador had 40 presidents, dictators and juntas, and from 1925 to 1948, none of the 22 presidents or chiefs of state completed his term.

ECUADOR Under the rule of the Incan empire until the coming of the Spanish in 1532, Ecuador came to serve as an important administrative center for the viceroyalty of Peru. Independence came centuries later in 1822. For the next eight years, Ecuador was part of the Gran Colombia federation. Eventually, the Catholic Church achieved special prominence in the country such that citizenship was linked to the religion, Jesuits were brought in to oversee education, among other actions. But in 1895, the anti-church party, the Radical Liberals, seized power and held it for the next half-century. Politically, the country has been essentially stable with the economy generally secure, particularly as oil was discovered in the 1960s. MORE HISTORY

The country is blessed with kaleidoscopic diversity in its topography, biology, people and culture that belie its small size (Ecuador is about the size of Nevada). Some local shamans claim that this "nearness" to the sun creates unique "cosmic" energies that are conducive to spiritual enlightenment, allowing one, in essence, to touch " la carita the Dios " (the Face of God). There is, as of yet, however, no proof of these claims.

Extractions: Ecuador Home Background Map of Operations History of Operations Timeline of Events Contributions to Ecuador Press Releases Response to Claims ... Legal Archives English Español The history of petroleum development in Ecuador dates back to 1878 when Ecuador's National Assembly decreed exclusive rights to M. G. Mier and Company for the extraction of petroleum, tar, kerosene and other bituminous substances in the Santa Elena Peninsula. In 1937, the government of Ecuador granted Shell Oil the first oil concession in the Oriente region of the Amazon. In 1964 the government invited a Texaco subsidiary, Texaco Petroleum Company, and Gulf Oil to explore for and produce oil in that region through a partnership with the government. Central to the government's actions at that time was its desire to strengthen Ecuador's economy by developing the petroleum, fishing and agricultural sectors, and to resolve a long-standing border dispute with Peru involving the Oriente region. Development of the petroleum resources was just one of the government's ways of securing its claim in the Oriente. The government also granted land and passed laws that encouraged colonization in the region. The colonization, in turn, led to commercial development, including logging, mining and agriculture. Here, as in any developing nation, forested lands gave way to forms of land use needed to support the growing population. During its years of operations, Texaco Petroleum consistently complied with the laws of Ecuador and international petroleum industry environmental standards. In fact, Texaco Petroleum developed a new industry standard for operating in sensitive environments, including the use of helicopters to move equipment in order to minimize the creation of roads. Other oil companies operating in the Amazon region have since adopted this practice. Texaco Petroleum also conducted an extensive remediation program at the end of the concession agreement to ensure no lasting environmental damage.
