THE SECOND WORLD WAR and ITS IMPACT on ECUADOR The UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA, LETRAS Y CIENCIAS DE LA EDUCACIÓN ESCUELA DE LENGUA Y LITERATURA INGLESA THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON ECUADOR The Second World War was the largest and the most violent armed conflict that opposed, between 1939 and 1945, the Allied countries with a democratic ideology and the Axis coalition with a totalitarian character. At the beginning of the war, the first block consisted of the United Kingdom, France, Poland, the United States of America , China and the Soviet Union. The war was started by Germany, but later it was joined by Italy and Japan, making the Axis Powers block. The start of the war was in September 1, 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany. Many countries which weren’t initially involved joined the war later as a result of events such as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor . The Second World War was not only fought in the European and Pacific battlefields. Some other small nations also were involved in this huge struggle. The Republic of Ecuador was one of these nations, playing an important role during it. Ecuador had been experiencing an economic crisis, which lasted until the Second World War when Ecuador sided with the Allies and profited from raw material exports. However, Peru took the opportunity to seize the undeveloped Amazonian territories from Ecuador, causing a war with Peru in 1941 and forcing the Ecuadorian government to fall and sign the Rio Protocol in 1942. Over seventy million people, the majority civilians, were killed, making the Second World War the deadliest conflict in human history.

Thank you friend for being my battle mate ¡ MARIA JOSE OCHOA GUERRERO/ 2010 7 DIANA DEL ROCIO PEREZ CARCHI UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA, LETRAS Y CIENCIAS DE LA EDUCACIÓN ESCUELA DE LENGUA Y LITERATURA INGLESA INTRODUCTION World War II, also known as the Second World War, was considered the largest conflict in history, spanning the entire world and involving more countries than any other war, as well as introducing powerful new weapons, and culminating in the first use of new nuclear weapons. After several years of fighting and destruction, the Allies won over the Axis. However, many people died during the Second World War. When the war began many nations around the world decided to join forces in order to defeat the Axis Powers; Ecuador was not the exception, playing important role in the war. It had to suffer some important changes; however, most of them helped Ecuador to improve its development as a nation. Therefore, this thesis, “The Second World War and its Impact on Ecuador,” presents important topics which will help people to understand the war’s big struggle, its beginnings, its reasons, its development, and especially the impacts that it produced on Ecuador and how it reacted to them. A war is one of the most tragic things in our world. It is even sadder that it usually comes around at least once in our lifetime. A careful consideration of the past may show humans a better way in the years to come, enabling the new generations to make up for the errors committed in the past, thus making them able to rule this vast, rapidly developing world, in accordance with the needs and the dignity of mankind. Also, he numerous new technological developments, such as nuclear energy and electronics, and all their benefits will help new generations to create a more peaceful world. MARIA JOSE OCHOA GUERRERO/ 2010 8 DIANA DEL ROCIO PEREZ CARCHI UNIVERSIDAD DE CUENCA FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA, LETRAS Y CIENCIAS DE LA EDUCACIÓN ESCUELA DE LENGUA Y LITERATURA INGLESA CHAPTER I THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1.1 THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1.1.1 THE UNITED STATES AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR Most Americans were isolationists during the two decades of World War I. In this same period, their government played an important leading role on the world scene. American attitudes toward foreign affairs seemed contradictory during those years. Americans had become absorbed in their own problems. The business boom, sports, automobiles, movies, radio, etc., all served to distract a generation uninterested in reform and world affairs. The United States remained out of the League of Nations and began to distrust wartime allies who resented repaying what they had borrowed from America.

Davidson’s North Carolina militia, numbering between 600 and 800 men, set up camp on the far side of the river, hoping to thwart or at least slow Cornwallis’ crossing. The Patriots stayed back from the banks of the river in order to prevent Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tartleton’s forces from fording the river at a different point and surprising the Patriots with a rear attack. At 1 a.m., Cornwallis began to move his troops toward the ford; by daybreak, they were crossing in a double-pronged formation–one prong for horses, the other for wagons. The noise of the rough crossing, during which the horses were forced to plunge in over their heads in the storm-swollen stream, woke the sleeping Patriot guard. The Patriots fired upon the Britons as they crossed and received heavy fire in return. Almost immediately upon his arrival at the river bank, General Davidson took a rifle ball to the heart and fell from his horse; his soaked corpse was found late that evening. Although Cornwallis’ troops took heavy casualties, the combat did little to slow their progress north toward Virginia.

Helal∗ INTRODUCTION 2017 was a busy year for the United Nations Security Council. It held 296 formal meetings during which it adopted sixty-one Resolutions, passed twenty- seven Presidential Statements, and issued ninety-three Press Statements. These meetings, resolutions, and statements addressed a variety of issues, ranging from the politically profound, such as the North Korean nuclear weapons program, to the prosaic and the procedural, such as receiving routine reports from the U.N. bureaucracy, renewing the mandates of longstanding U.N. peacekeeping operations, and electing Judges to the International Court of Justice.1 Whenever it acted promptly to preempt the outbreak of war or to resolve an international crisis, the Security Council was applauded for its effectiveness and its members were commended for their unity in confronting threats to international peace and security.

  • A Key Ingredient for Successful Peacekeeping Operations Management by Joseph L
    No. 04-6W Landpower Essay October 2004 An Institute of Land Warfare Publication Special Operators: A Key Ingredient for Successful Peacekeeping Operations Management by Joseph L. Homza Low-intensity operations cannot be won or contained by military power alone. They require the application of all elements of national power across the entire range of conditions which are the source of the conflict.1 U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Special Forces Peacekeeping is not a job for soldiers, but only a soldier can do it.2 Former United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammerskold Multinational and regional alliances, as well as the Charter of the United Nations, include “terms that reflect a determination to provide an international institution that could control conflict” in the Low-Intensity Conflict (LIC) spectrum of war.3 As a defense contractor employed by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, I recently had a unique opportunity to participate directly in the Military Observer Mission Ecuador and Peru (MOMEP), an LIC reduction operation conducted by conventional military forces with management influence by Special Operations Forces (SOF). The tenets of campaign analysis—e.g., military historical perspectives, force structure, command and control capabilities and military objectives—provide a paradigm to demonstrate clearly the effectiveness of this conflict management mission performed by SOF in accordance with the ten focus areas stipulated by John M. Collins in Special Operations Forces: An Assessment.4 The MOMEP Confidence Building Measure (CBM) was an example of SOF and conventional military force elements at their operational best. The Organization of American States (OAS), due to the actions of the SOF and conventional units assigned to MOMEP, would experience a successful CBM Peacekeeping Operation (PKO) in a regional context.

    4 LES OUBLIÉS DE LA BATAILLE D’ANGLETERRE LA RAF ATTAQUE LES PORTS DE LA MANCHE LES OUBLIÉS DE LA BATAILLE D’ANGLETERRE LA RAF attaQUE LES Ports DE LA MANCHE (DE LA CHUTE DE LA FRANCE À LA FIN DE LA Bataille D’ANGLETERRE) (Fin juin-décembre 1940) J-L Roba Pour la quasi-totalité du public, toute l’activité de l’aviation militaire britannique en 1940 après la chute de la France se résume en la seule Bataille d’Angleterre avec ses ‘Few’ du Fighter Command, popularisés par une prose très nombreuse. Dans son ouvrage ‘The other Few’, Larry Donnelly a tenté de rappeler les combats oubliés de cette période menés par les deux autres branches de la RAF : les Bomber et Coastal Commands ainsi que leurs pertes trop souvent passées sous silence. Les actions des aviateurs d’Outre-Manche ne se résumèrent donc pas en des duels mortels sur l’Angleterre (avec, comme il se doit, l’aide primordiale de l’appareillage Ultra !) puisque, quittant l’espace aérien du Royaume-Uni et traversant le ‘Channel’, des équipages de Blenheim, Battle, Hampden, Wellington, … allaient revenir sur la Belgique, les Pays-Bas et la France - nations évacuées à la fin mai 1940 – cela pour tenter au péril de leur vie de harceler l’adversaire dans des opérations aussi ingrates qu’éprouvantes. Ce texte ne va développer que les seules opérations de la RAF sur l’Hexagone. Le lecteur ne devra dès lors pas perdre de vue que, concomitamment, cette même RAF envoya également ses bombardiers sur d’autres pays occupés (Scandinavie y compris) dispersant ainsi largement ses appareils.

  • World War Ii Internment Camp Survivors
    WORLD WAR II INTERNMENT CAMP SURVIVORS: THE STORIES AND LIFE EXPERIENCES OF JAPANESE AMERICAN WOMEN Precious Vida Yamaguchi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Ph.D., Advisor Sherlon Pack-Brown, Ph.D. Graduate Faculty Representative Lynda D. Dixon, Ph.D. Lousia Ha, Ph.D. Ellen Gorsevski, Ph.D. © 2010 Precious Vida Yamaguchi All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 required all people of Japanese ancestry in America (one-eighth of Japanese blood or more), living on the west coast to be relocated into internment camps. Over 120,000 people were forced to leave their homes, businesses, and all their belongings except for one suitcase and were placed in barbed-wire internment camps patrolled by armed police. This study looks at narratives, stories, and experiences of Japanese American women who experienced the World War II internment camps through an anti-colonial theoretical framework and ethnographic methods. The use of ethnographic methods and interviews with the generation of Japanese American women who experienced part of their lives in the United State World War II internment camps explores how it affected their lives during and after World War II. The researcher of this study hopes to learn how Japanese American women reflect upon and describe their lives before, during, and after the internment camps, document the narratives of the Japanese American women who were imprisoned in the internment camps, and research how their experiences have been told to their children and grandchildren.

  • Latin America and the Caribbean
    LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN The EU’s relations with Latin America and the Caribbean are multifaceted and conducted at different levels. The EU interacts with the entire region through summits of the heads of state and government, while agreements and political dialogue bind the EU and the Caribbean, Central America, the Andean Community, Mercosur and individual countries. LEGAL BASIS — Title V (EU external action) of the Treaty on European Union; — Titles I-III and V (common commercial policy; development cooperation and humanitarian aid; international agreements) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. REGION-TO-REGION RELATIONS A. The summits The first summit between the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean was held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1999 and established a Bi-regional Strategic Partnership. The most recent biennial summit, held in June 2015 in Brussels, was the second between the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños, CELAC). The summits strengthen links between the two regions at the highest level and address issues on the bi-regional and international agendas. Debates have focused on topics such as democracy and human rights; fighting poverty; promoting social cohesion, innovation and technology; and the environment and climate change. The Brussels summit adopted a short political declaration, a longer declaration on the different aspects of the partnership and an EU- CELAC action plan, based on the priorities established by the recent
