The Peruvian-Ecuadorian conflict

-

The Peruvian-Ecuadorian conflict - a dispute between Peru and Ecuador, concerns the Tambes, Jaen and Mayas territories of the Tumbes, Jaen and Maynas, formerly of the New Grenadines, which in 1802 included the Spaniards in the Lima district, Peru.

The origins of the dispute go back to the Spanish colonial rule. The Spaniards did not specify the exact location of the vast Amazon region lying at the confluence of the Viceroyalty of Peru, the viceroyalty of New Granada and the Quito audience. Peru and Ecuador claimed that the land in question belonged to their territories.

In 1941, a war broke out between Peru and Ecuador, which ended in defeat. The United States, Brazil, Chile and Argentina were involved. In 1942 Peru and Ecuador participated in their peace conference. A peace treaty, known as the Rio Protocol, was signed. Under this treaty the territories were included in Peru, thus Ecuador lost access to the Amazon.

In 1961, Ecuador terminated the treaty of 1942. In 1980 and 1995 both countries carried out short-lived border wars. These battles have been completed thanks to the intervention of the Organization of American States.

To date, the dispute has not been resolved. Ecuador believes that the borders have been mapped out in violation of its laws and sovereignty, while Peru insists on its validity. However, there is no danger of armed confrontation.

He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler. The fragment of the Megasthenes (IV-III century BC) preserved in fragments can be seen in the underground mines at the foot of the mountains on the easte...

Urbańczyk points out that the older names were spontaneously formed and sprouted in the daily lives of the inhabitants of the place.
