Descripción
Sumario:Based on Peruvian, Colombian and British archives, this paper reconstructs the beginnings of the Leticia Conflict between Peru and Colombia (1932-1933) at the local and regional levels. Facts are presented in three chronological series that overlap partially: the invasion and occupation of Leticia; Colombian reactions from the Putumayo river basin and Bogotá; and Peruvian reactions from Iquitos and Lima. The article shows how events unfolded and it implicitly compares the triangular relations between local society, central government and the armed forces at the boundaries between both countries.
