Ecuador was part of the Inca Empire before Spanish colonization in the 16th century. It gained independence in 1822, initially joining Gran Colombia before becoming a separate nation. The 20th century saw political instability, economic challenges, and territorial disputes with Peru. Today, Ecuador is known for its biodiversity, including the Galápagos Islands, and has developed a mixed economy based on oil, agriculture, and tourism.
