The republic was a centralized state with a strong executive branch, so unsurprisingly, tensions soon arose among the constituent regions due to their differences in political vision, economic interests, and regional identities.

I mean, he literally tried to push for a lifetime presidency, obviously sparked internal opposition. So Gran Colombia was facing external threats from Spanish royalist forces and internal fractures.

By 1830, Bolivar had to resign from the presidency, disillusioned by the failure of his vision, and in the same year, Gran Colombia dissolved into three separate nations, Venezuela, Ecuador, and the Republic of New Granada, which later on split into Colombia and Panama. Unlike the other countries of South America that we've covered, these countries had far less large-scale anarchist movements.

But we'll still take a look at what little impact anarchists did make in the past two centuries in these places. This whole series, by the way, wouldn't be possible without the scholarship of Angel Capileti, whose research I drew upon heavily for this historical review. I suggest reading his book, Anarchism in Latin America, for further details. Let's first take a look at the history in Ecuador.

At the turn of the 20th century, Ecuador was reeling from a liberal revolution that had just taken place in the country. The country was shifting as industrialization creeped in, the bourgeoisie were on the rise, and feudal landowners were losing their grip on power. A new secular cultural wave was also beginning to take shape as the clerical authorities began to lose their power.

The workers naturally needed a voice in this process, and they found it first with the rise of the Partido Liberal Obrero, or the Liberal Workers' Party, in 1906. Around the same time, on New Year's Eve of 1905, the Confederación Obrera del Ecuador was founded in Guayaquil, a city that would become a hub for worker activity.

Both organizations shared a vision rooted in social reform and worker empowerment. It was also around this time that the Cuban anarchist Miguel Albuquerque made a name for himself in Ecuador. Originally, he had come seeking assistance with Cuba's independence struggle, but eventually found himself playing a key role in Ecuador's labor movement.
