[edit] Name Ecuador

So... when was the name Ecuador chosen? Was it named after the equator? --SPUI (talk) 14:30, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Evidently, and it must have been chosen May 1830. 200.63.231.224 21:39, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removed some text

On June 7 2005, Lucio announced from Brazil that he was about to resign to his condition of political refugee and go back to Ecuador. His come back will be made through Miami, hometown of many Ecuadorian legally prosecuted bankers who may be supporting Lucio's coming back to political scene in Ecuador.

Many suspect that his return is made in the sake of some sort political pressure that U.S. Government and IMF is applying on Palacio's government in order to set up a new economic administration team much more closer to the objetives of the U.S. department of state and the international financial institutions.

As of August 7, 2005, former Ecuadorian President Lucio Gutierrez is staying temporarily at a beach resort in the country of Peru, just minutes away from the Ecuadorian border. He says he will return to Ecuador to face his trial, though at the moment there is a warrant for his arrest.

[edit] Incas

I understand from the Wikipedia piece on the Inca Empire - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inca - that the Incas controlled large parts of Ecuador for nearly a century before the Spanish arrived, yet this piece barely refers to that period.

I'm not an expert, and simply cutting and pasting from one piece to another seems a little rude, but perhaps someone a little better informed could add something? Jonecc 10:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Independance from Colombia

Would it be possible to give some more details on why Ecuador became independant from Colombia in 1830. What were the reasons behind that? Indisciplined 20:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
