Cenepa War - Japan |
 | | The Cenepa War (January 26-February 28, 1995), also known as Alto Cenepa War, was a brief and localized military conflict between Ecuador and Peru, fought over the control of a disputed area on the border between the two countries. |
 | | The Cenepa War was but the last of a series of military clashes that occurred between Ecuador and Peru over a long standing territorial dispute that dated back to the first decades of the 19th century, when both countries came into being after the Wars of Independence of the Spanish colonies in South America. |
 | | Thus, in the aftermath of the war, both nations, brokered by the "guarantors" of the Rio Protocol, entered into a long and difficult negotiation process that concluded with the signing of a Peace Treaty in 1998, and the; closing of the hitherto undermarcated stretch of common border, deep in the Amazonian rainforest. |
