Ecuador’s history is, in many ways, cyclical. The country continually struggles against deep-rooted social, political-economic, and geographical challenges. The same factors that determined Ecuador’s history during the last two centuries continue to dominate its landscape at the beginning of the 21st century.
In 1819, Ecuador joined Venezuela, Colombia, and Panama in a confederacy known as Greater Colombia. When Greater Colombia collapsed in 1830, Ecuador became independent. Revolts and dictatorships followed; it had 48 presidents during the first 131 years of the republic. Conservatives ruled until the revolution of 1895 ushered in nearly a half-century of Radical Liberal rule, during which the church was disestablished and freedom of worship, speech, and the press was introduced.
The present banner of Ecuador was received on September 26, 1860. The crest was added to the banner in 1900. The configuration of the Ecuadorian banner was initially proposed by Francisco de Miranda, a general in the military of the Spanish American provinces. The thought of using essential hues on the national banner was given to Miranda by Goethe, who urged Miranda to shape the country.
Looking to some extent like the banners of Colombia and Venezuela, the banner of Ecuador is an even tricolor in yellow, blue, and red from top to bottom. The yellow band of the banner is twofold the width of other groups and stands for the brilliant daylight and the fruitfulness of the area. The yellow signifies the gold mineral discovered in Ecuador. Blue reflect the unmistakable blue skies over Ecuador and its boundless waterfront areas. The red symbolizes the devoted soul of the kinsmen and the slaughter in Ecuador's long battle for independence.
The emblem of Ecuador is focused on the banner, delineating a shield on which a condor, the national bird of Ecuador, is perched. The shield bears the picture of the snow-topped top of Mount Chimborazo and a steamboat on a stream. Mount Chimborazo in the Andes extent is the most noteworthy peak in Ecuador.
The condor is a symbol of shelter and protection; it stands as a symbol of defense against foreign attack. The coat of arms as a whole symbolizes the dignity and pride of the Republic of Ecuador.
