The Ecuadorian-Peruvian war of 1858 occurred in 1858. Ecuador ceded disputed territory in the Amazon Basin to British creditors. This angered the Peruvian government who demanded the transaction to be nullified. Ecuador did not comply therefore causing a conflict between the two neighboring nations.

Historical background

"For details on the history of the border dispute between Ecuador and Peru, please see History of the Ecuadorian-Peruvian territorial dispute."

The War

For the reason that Ecuador refused to nullify the cession and ignore the Diplomatic Representative Cavero in Quito, Congress authorized the President of the Republic, Ramon Castilla to employ any means necessary, including armed conflict, to obtain their objective. Because these objectives could not be attained diplomatically, Castilla mobilized the Peruvian Armed Forces towards Ecuador. Utilizing the Peruvian Navy, Castilla ordered the blockade of the entire Ecuadorian coast, meanwhile soldiers disembarked to Mapasingue. On January 7, Peruvian forces moved in and occupied Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city and port. In possession of Ecuador's largest port, Castilla entered negotiations with Guillermo Franco. On January 25, 1860, Franco signed the Treaty of Mapasingue in which the Ecuadorian government declared the cession null, and recognized the sovereignty of Peru Fact|date=July 2008, over the territories of Bobonaza and Pastaza according to the Royal Decree of 1802, and went on to establish the border. On February 10, the Peruvian Army abandoned Ecuadorian territory and returned to Peru.

Aftermath

This war would not settle the conflict with three more wars occurring in the 20th Century. This conflict was the longest ongoing dispute in the Western Hemisphere only being solved in 1998 after the Cenepa War. In total there have been five wars between Ecuador and Peru from 1828 through 1995.
