Ecuador is a small country located in northern South America. Known for its proximity to the Amazon rainforest it borders  Colombia to the northeast and an extremely hostile  Peru to the south.  Ecuador has a coastline and access to the Pacific Ocean to the west.

Historical background

Ecuador was apart of  Gran Colombia from 1819 to 1831 and then later became independent. During the early days of Ecuador, things were pretty bad, leaving the country unstable for the most part. Throughout the years Ecuador has had many border changes such as losing its border with  Brazil in the early 20th century and the changes in result of the Ecuadorian-Peruvian War in 1941 with  Peru, which lead to Ecuador's modern borders.

Like  Colombia, Ecuador also had a liberal era, which lasted from 1895 to 1925.
