Introduction
The liberal revolution is a historical fact for all Ecuadorians since 1895, a movement against radical governments at that time, this same was dealt with by General Eloy Alfaro, who in the 60s of the 19th century begins agreat fight against conservatives. On June 5, 1895, in the city of Guayaquil a social discontent and an economic crisis were lived with sadness and indignation that would make this beautiful dream city to explore, and it becomes since then until the end of the centuries as the liberal revolution.
It is then that the Public Assembly chooses and proclaims General Eloy Alfaro as Supreme Chief of the Republic of Ecuador, who was in the founder of the Radical Liberal Party, was desire that in our country began to give great change in favor of all Ecuadorians oneOf these was that after so many years of struggle the State separates from the Church, for the first time in our Ecuador free public education is strengthened by changing the lives of many children, youth and adults who yearned to learn and prepare for a lifeWithout ignorance and thanks that is promoted the formation of the first teachers, modernizing the Ecuador.
Developing
In the city of Guayaquil on June 5, 1895, the Supreme Headquarters were declared and delivered to the leader of general radical liberalism Eloy Alfaro, who for a couple of months toured several provinces of the Ecuadorian mountain range and letting knowThe liberal transformation.
In the city of Quito, Alfaro proposes to the Head of the Government Army who at this time was General Sarasti "lesserizing" the war, who ignored in accordance with obligations, advancing his victory Alfaro rejects his adversary, considering that this fight wasmore coastal than of the inhabitants of the Sierra.
General Alfaro had made the revolution an event of reach throughout the country, but it is unquestionable that it did not have a large dimension at regional level, since in a past time in our country we had had a good organization both in politics and inEconomy of both regions, three large cities stood out as axes in the midst of this conflict.
Guayaquil was an antiforealism center, thanks that changes its flag, although that national symbol does not hard much because of the arrival of a new regime, the liberal revolution is proof of a political and social struggle of the modern society of Ecuador.
This liberal regime, had alliances in the mountains and thanks that was built the Guayaquil-Quito railway which would unite both regions with trade and modernization of our Ecuador.

- A rule of law was established, where citizens are the same in front of the law, no one has privileges
- Restoration of absolutism: by putting the kings as commanders again, democracy falls apart.

Changes in Ecuador from the Liberal Revolution
Thanks to this deep research about a historical fact of my country I could clarify some doubts that I had about the subject I chose when reading and filling my knowledge, thank you that I allow me to answer the question. Thousands of Ecuadorian patriots benefited from this liberal revolution because the change was wide in some areas within our country, for example, in the Eloy Alfaro government, reforms and various laws that give legal certainty to Ecuadorian citizens were added, we also obtainedA secular state separating the state of the Church, opened education with the creation of norms for the training of new teachers who held another mentality and various attitudes, created great schools that are currently still recognized as: Colegio Mejía de laProvince of Quito, Olmedo College of the Portoviejo Canton, Eloy Alfaro College in Bahía de Caraquez, support and name for the first time a woman for a respectable position, the construction of the railroad that currently promotes tourism and unites our country, fromSo everything was a better story for our homeland.
Political and economic centralism
Centralism is a state where the government has power over the decisions of the country or administering a territory, the political power of 1895 focused on the city of Guayaquil, then Quito refused to create a bicentralism during the twentieth century,getting to conclude that Quito would be and stayed with political capital and Guayaquil our economic capital at that time.
The regionalization
Thanks to the liberal revolution today Manabí is known not only for being a province, but also a region of impeccable roots both to their culture and other characteristics, Manabí achieved marks traces that until today are still remembered, the revolution of the revolution of the95 resulted in the creation of new political parties, it should also be emphasized that maintained an impact on its great opposition cities.
