Recent Ecuador
Throughout the
first
half of the 20th century the Radical Liberal party,
an anticlerical group, dominated the
politics in Ecuador.
The economy was largely dependent of the production of cacao. This was
to
change in the 1950's by increased sales of bananas, and again in the 1960's
with the
discovery of oil.
In the 1990's Ecuador struggles with an increasing cocaine trade and the
uprising of their Indian minority.
