Historical background and Main Causes of the Phenomenon of Forced Displacement and Internal Migration in Colombia

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the main factors of forced displacement and internal migrations, which coincide not only in the 19th century but mainly in the 20th century with the phenomena of violence in Colombia, many times generated by factors of armed conflict in various stages and areas of the country. He only wants to show, through a brief historical overview, the main events that changed the armed conflict in Colombia and incidentally gave rise to the causes and consequences of the phenomenon of forced displacement and internal migration in the country. By understanding the historical structure of the phenomenon, it is possible to show the difficulties in at least solving its current situation in Colombia, even with the 2016 pacification processes.

The above is developed through a hermeneutical and analytical method. For this purpose, the document was prepared using historical, descriptive, teleological, and reflective instruments.
