1:00Now PlayingThe Leticia War (1932-1933) was a brief but significant conflict between Colombia and Peru over the town of Leticia in the Amazon basin. Triggered by longstanding border disputes and exacerbated by economic and political tensions, the conflict unfolded in the remote and densely forested region. Leticia, strategically located at the confluence of the Amazon and Putumayo rivers, held both economic and geopolitical importance.
The dispute attracted international attention, leading to the involvement of the League of Nations in mediating the conflict. A ceasefire was negotiated, and the Rio de Janeiro Protocol, signed in 1934, solidified the resolution. Colombia retained control of Leticia, while both nations agreed to demilitarize the contested area. The aftermath of the war saw increased diplomatic efforts to prevent further hostilities in the region.
The Leticia War had lasting implications, shaping the diplomatic relations between Colombia and Peru.
