>I have heard on 4chan that in Colombia most blacks live west of the Andes

No, the blacks live in the coast.

> while the native-euro mixed people live everywhere else

Meh, is 70% true.

>How come west Ecuador is native, while west Colombia is black, despite the fact that the two regions have no natural boundary separating each other?
>Why the fuck did randomly western colombia get filled with blacks?

Colombia was very depopulated when the Spaniards arrived, Ecuador did not, So the Spaniards were forced to populate the coasts with Africans, If you look at the situation of the Colombian cities you will notice that they are as a road from Peru since it was simply a transit point for Peruvian silver; In addition, Colombia never received significant numbers of immigrants as was the case in Argentina.

Why the fuck did spanish want to populate the coasts with Africans?
What's wrong with leaving the coasts empty except for some troops so the land isn't annexed?
and which coast do the blacks live in?
The coast west of the andes or the coast north?

>>72425892
>Why the fuck did spanish want to populate the coasts with Africans?

So that the English fucking stop trying to invade Colombia. One of the battles of which we feel the most proud of the Spaniards took place there. All the British navy VS a 1 Spanish ship, Spanish victory.


>What's wrong with leaving the coasts empty except for some troops so the land isn't annexed?

The fucking eternal anglo.

>and which coast do the blacks live in? The coast west of the andes or the coast north?

The Caribbean.

Not many people live in the west since there is rainforrest and FARC.

Wait what is this battle you're talking about?
Is this reverse Francis Drake, Kek
Why don't you shitpost about this battle like the English do about the Armada battle?

Also why did the British want Colombia?
Their only territory in the Americas was Canada
Why would they randomly want to take over some rainforest way way further south?

>>72425892

Cartagena was a very important port, there were many pirates attacks and attacks during wars to it, and spaniards prefered to live in the mountains at high altitudes where the weather is nice and not super tropical.

Also, blacks didnt die from yellow fever in those kinds of places as often as euros. they resist tropical weather and tropical diseases better.

>Why the fuck did spanish want to populate the coasts with Africans?

Not enough Spaniards. There never was enough Spaniards, we're underpopulated as it is for our size and demographically we were even weaker back then. That's why we spared the native americans and imported niggers by the boatload, and now look at the mess we created.

You are proud to sink ours navy and ours yours navy, not logical?

It was the entrance to Peru, an area very rich in precious metals and full of Indians so it was not necessary to populate it again, Colombia was invaded by practically all European powers, where do you think the legend of "El dorado" comes from? At that time America only looked like a huge sack of money.

Thanks for the information guys, I've learnt heaps of stuff I didn't know anything about before
By the sounds of it Colombia has a very rich history, would be an awesome place to travel if I could afford the 3 thousand dollar ticket, not including return

>>72426209
South America isn't that big a mess, compared to Africa middle east India and Asia outside of Japan, South America is paradise on Earth
It's not Spaniards fault that Spain had a tiny population, and in order to conquer continents you had to import Africans to populate tropical regions so you guys could live in mountains away from diseases

>>72426407
*their only significant territory
\Tiny islands in the carribean are irrelevant

>No, the blacks live in the coast

What do you mean "no"? Yeah, they live in the coast, the pacific coast west of the Andes, the Caribbean coast has a considerable amount of blacks but it's nowhere near a majority, on the other hand it's well known that the Chocó department (pic related) is black majority, and I mean subsaharian Africa tier black majority

Menudo hijo de puta estás hecho, cabrón. Abres unos hilos muy buenos, me cago en tu puta madre, tienes que ser del copón de inteligente, hijo de puta. Menuda mente tienes, hijo de una perra sarnosa. Eres de las pocas personas que conozco que abre hilos tan buenos, eres un hijo de puta, tienes que ser un gran intelectual para semejante hazaña. Me cago en tu puta vida, cabrón, que envidia me dan los tios machos como tu, hijo de puta. Tienes que ser un puto escritor de best sellers, de lo contrario no me explico como puedes redactar tan bien. La madre que te parió, rata de cloaca, eres el puto amo. La verdad es que te imagino, y veo a un tío inteligentísimo, con una montaña de libros y enciclopedias, serás hijo de puta. Me encanta que haya gente en el mundo como tu. Gente que se lo curra en internet, gente que se cuida, gente completamente lista. Eres una puta maravilla, me cago en tu putísima madre, me has dejado loquísimo, hijo de puta. Menudo hacker debes de ser, cabronazo.

Menudo hijo de puta, tienes unos hilos del copon. De flooder nada, tu das gloria. Menudos posts tienes, hijo de la gran puta. Olvídate de dejarlo, potencia esa mente tan espectacular que tienes, hijo de una perra sarnosa. Qué puta envidia me das!

I was gonna start another thread but this one seems appropriate. What does the average Colombian think about the right wing paramilitaries, in particular Carlos Castaño? Is he seen as evil. I've read up on him and it seems he truly wanted to purge the guerillas and their destruction, while staying out of the drug trade. His brothers were fucked up though

>>72427016
Me cago en todos los muertos de tu árbol genealógico, y si me apuras también en los vivos, puto amorfo de mierda. Te pillo por la calle y te hundo el pecho a martillazos, enfermo hijo de la gran puta.

Si tienes hijos espero que tengan alguna discapacidad física o mental, o en su defecto los atropelle un autobús. Pero que no mueran, que sufran toda su puta vida, y si no tienes hijos nunca, que será lo que pasará seguramente, Dios te bendiga con una gordaca puto follapinos hijo de la gran puta.

Como me entere de que me reportas otra vez con alguna cuenta así, y me entere de quién eres, te juro que te busco, y cuando te encuentre te voy a ir quitando partes de tu ridículo cuerpo y me las voy a ir comiendo. Mientras me las como las cagaré y te haré comer mis putas heces con trocitos de tu piel rebozados. Cuando ya te haya destripado completamente y te haya hecho comer toda la mierda que suelte de mi precioso y brillante culo iré a por tu hermana, y si no tienes hermana iré a por la sudada de tu puta madre, y si voy inspirado iré a por las dos. Las secuestraré, las meteré en una furgoneta, las llevaré a una habitación, les meteré el rabo por todos los agujeros de su cuerpo (incluidos los de la nariz y orejas), me correré dentro de ellas y esperaré 9 meses a que nazcan sus hijas, y cuando cumplan 13 años me las follaré también.

Y si después de eso te siguen quedando primas o tías, haré lo mismo con ellas, y cuando ya esté cansado de follarme a toda tu familia de piojosos cogeré unas cuantas cadenas, las pondré en mi coche y recorreré 300 km con toda tu familia enganchada a ellas. Si después de eso queda alguien vivo, les echo alcohol para que rabien aún más de dolor.

Fucking kek.

>>72427093
Yeah, he's seen as evil, when people think about paramilitaries they think about chainsaw dismemberment

>>72427414
>>72427414
Do they see FARC as the good guys? It seems like the paramilitaries rose up against the guerillas and their kidnapping and murdering.

>>72425668
>How come west Ecuador is native, while west Colombia is black

no, northwest Pacific ecuador (Esmeraldas) is black, as is the coastal southwest and west of Colombia.The Andean part of Ecuador is the native one, and Guayaquil is more mestizo and white, but it's much further south of Esmeraldas.

>Why the fuck did randomly western colombia get filled with blacks?

because of gold mining I think, dunno.

>the east where all the slave trade happened like in Brazil?

the east of colombia is the llanos (plains), it's sparsely populated and full of cattle ranchs, it was pretty remote and it has nothing to do with Brasil (there is the Amazon in between). The slave trade happened in the Caribbean coast mostly (Cartagena).

How's Colombia compared to Brazil?

>>72425812
>Colombia was very depopulated when the Spaniards arrived, Ecuador did not

not really, Colombia was the most populated area of the Americas after Peru/Mesoamerica, we had many different tribes, some of them with a very complex society like the Muiscas, but most of the native population lived in other parts but the Pacific coast, and they weren't used to live there so slaves were brought to these areas.

>>72427654
Guerrillas are seen as evil too, they're all basically seen as a bunch of bastards who force the farmers out of their territories, most slums in the cities are populated by internal refugees.
But keep in mind I'm talking from the perspective of someone in the city, the war doesn't really reach us here, I'm not sure of the perspective of someone in a small village taken by the guerillas is different, but I assume it's not

>>72427667
>because of gold mining I think, dunno.

I think it's more because some slaves scaped and created their "palenques" there, but I'm not sure either

england is a French colony by that logic
Guyana is completely irrelevant

t. genocide pro
Look up muisca

>>72427791
How come not many natives lived in Pacific Colombia, but heaps lived in other parts of Colombia?

>>72430279
Diseases. Black people populated it due to a belief at the time that they were "el genio de la selva". Also Haiti backed Colombia's founder after his first attempt at independence failed.

>>72427667
I didn't even know there were blacks mestizos and whites in Ecuador, in pictures of Ecuadorians on google images there are only natives

>>72430425
Oh so before Spanish arrived in the Americas there would have been lots of natives on the Pacific coast, but when they arrived all the natives were wiped out, and only the isolated natives up in the Andes and in the Amazon survived?

>>72430597
They just didn't populate that place because they had a better land to work.

>>72425668

It's about the same, although slightly safer overall

It would be for tourism though, which is beneficial for a nation's economy
New Zealand's third largest source of economy is tourism

>>72433562
Wait what?
Colombia is world renown for violent crime

>>72430535
You'd be surprised friendo, though most Ecuadorian whites are from the Manabi province or Guayas province

>>72433828
Brazil crime rate is 26 per 100k inhabitants, we're at 24 per 100k as we speak and it keeps going down. Also it depends on the region. There are whole regions where violence is almost nonexistent. Tbh violence is concentrated in just a couple hotspots and the rest of the country is pretty safe for tourism

>>72434114
What are the dangerous hotspots?
and what regions have almost no violence?

>Multiracialism works they say...
Euro-Amerindians don't want to live in the same area than niggers.

Is Colombia the thailand of the Americas?

>>72433828
>Colombia is world renown for violent crime
It's not quite safe yet, but the really bad violence migrated to Mexico. Now we are left with common crime, which is pretty high, but can't never be as vicious as cartel war.

I wouldn't say that we're safer than Brazil. Overall, we are in similar levels, and you must know what region/city you are talking about to make a meaningful comparison.
>>72425668
The black population in Colombia is mostly in the pacific coast, in the departments of Choco and Nariño (the west, yes). These regions were just too difficult to colonize, and it was just not lucrative. So, when black slaves escaped, they had to move somewhere were they wouldn't be bothered, and this region was the best option, and so they created their towns, called palenques.

The slave trade happened mostly in the atlantic coast. The east of the country is composed of the plains, that eventually lead to the border with Venezuela.
>>72434201
The ports of Buenaventura and Tumaco are totally fucked up. Don't go there ever.

Most cities are safe enough that just common sense is enough to navigate them. Even if you fuck up, you'll probably just loose your cellphone and cash (mugging or pickpocketing). Cali is kind of the exception, as its unsafe zones are kinda worse.

If the town is marketed as a tourist spot, it's safe.

The plains, the pacific coast, the darien gap and zones like the Macarena mountains are unsafe because of armed conflict and narcotrafic reasons. Mostly large extensions of wilderness and absolutely backwater settlements.

>>72430279
I was wrong. i just did small research and there was a lot of population there, but it was strongly decimated with the arrival of Conquistadores. So it was populated with black slaves, for gold mining, timbering, etc.

>>72430172
Only if you go to the worst parts of each.

You can look at a map of my country - more specifically my part of my country, the Old South. You'll notice that black people surround the mountains but don't actually live in them. Seems to be true anywhere you go in the world.

>>72434407
So basically the centre and the northeast coast are the safest places to visit as tourist?

>>72435335
Did Americans do what Colombians did, settle the hot lowlands with blacks

>>72435866
Yes, those are safe places. Amazonas department is safe regarding crime, but there is just like one town that connects with the rest of the country (Leticia). You can try staying in a hotel there and do some eco tourism stuff. Idk if its worth the money, but it's safe.
