What are the parts of the Andean Community?

Why was the Andean Community created?

The Andean Community (AC) was created in 1950 as an organisation promoting economic integration between the five South American states: Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia. By the time it was established, the four main groups of states had been at war with one another for over a decade.

As the region's military rulers were unable to control these hostilities and protect the population from the effects of their violence, it was decided that some form of political union was necessary. What was the immediate cause of the creation of the Andean Community? Following the victory of the armed forces in Peru and Bolivia in the 1950-1951 civil wars, military dictatorships began to rule all four countries for nearly two decades. This resulted in political repression, economic stagnation, social inequality and mass migrations to the US and other Latin American countries.

In 1953, a new military regime was installed in Peru, and a wave of violent attacks on Peruvians with leftwing sympathies followed. A Peruvian communist party (PCP) was outlawed in 1956, and many leaders were murdered. The Peruvian government also created a secret police force, the DDS, which systematically sought out people with leftwing sympathies.

These developments led to further conflict in the region, and in 1958, the governments of Chile, Colombia and Ecuador agreed to create a regional organisation to control migration from the south to the north. In June 1958, a tripartite agreement was reached among Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador to establish the Andean Community. This was signed in Quito on 5 July 1958 and came into effect the following day.

Who represented the Peruvian government when the Andean Community was created? When the Andean Community was created, President Alberto Fujimori was already in power. He had taken over from his predecessor, Jos Mara Velasco Ibarra, after an army coup in November 1971.

Velasco had been elected in 1964 and succeeded the short-lived presidency of Fernando Belande Terry. Belande remained in office until 1967.

Fujimori was a member of the Christian-democratic National Party. He supported the Andean Community because of its potential benefits for his regime, but also because he believed the community would provide him with an effective means to crush any anti-government unrest.

How did the Andean Community function?

What is the purpose of the Andean Pact?

The Andean Pact was an international agreement, signed in Bogot on October 26, 1955.

In addition, its aim was to improve the material and social conditions of peoples in the region, by promoting the principle of equality in all aspects of national life. The Pact also included a commitment to the preservation of cultural diversity and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. It has been ratified by all member countries except Chile.

Who were the signatories to the Pact? The original signatories to the Andean Pact included Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela. After the creation of the ALBA alliance in 2025, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela are the only members of the Andean Community that are not part of ALBHow was the pact created? The Pact was created by the Bolivian government, with the support of Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori and Argentine President Ral Alfonsn. The Pact was a result of the negotiations that took place at the Bogot Summit between these three countries and Bolivia was asked to host the summit. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss topics such as economic development, agricultural policy, and regional integration, among others.

It also provided rules for trade and banking, and rules on the protection of trademarks and other intellectual property rights.

What is the meaning of Andean nations?

Why should we care to understand them?

There is no doubt that the nations and countries of the Andes were the first great powers of the new world, before all others and at the same time as the Aztec in Mexico. But their power and importance declined, like other ancient cultures that were unable to preserve themselves. By 1532 the Inca Empire was already only a fading memory (and we do not hear much about it today).

In the meantime, the Spaniards came, the new masters of everything, as so many conquerors have done throughout history. But in the Andes, as in Central America, as in North America, and other places in Latin America, the new empire was destined to fall victim to an incalculable fate - the conquest of the new master, Europeans in steel plated cars, as merciless as the first ones who wore golden plates on their armor and carried sharpened steel swords. This destiny was not inevitable, there is no law governing nature, this conquest was an exceptional phenomenon which did not occur in every nation or every corner of the world, however important the consequences may seem. Therefore, the conquest of the Inca empire is just an example among thousands of others, and we do not know if it took place by chance, or if the will of a single strong and decisive individual made possible it.

Who are the Incas? What made them great? What was the life of the "natives" (for they were not all Incas) under the rule of the emperor Cuzco? Was it like the rest of the Latin American countries, where the power of the conqueror was absolute? We will discuss these issues, the life of the population of the Andean societies, the power and prestige of Incas. All this can affect us because there are many reasons for us to be curious about the nations of the past; we have an interest in the cultures that existed many years ago.

A few facts about the Inca Empire. The city of Cuzco was founded by Viracocha Inca Manco in 1309. After his father Inka Mama Ocllo died, Manco ascended the throne, according to the legends of the people, to find that the population and economic resources of the people are exhausted after the labors of his parents.
