History of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) with Jupyter
History of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) with Jupyter
Abstract
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) is a Colombian guerrilla group that emerged in the mid-twentieth century after the assassination of the liberal leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. As a result, multiple insurgents took by arms and decided to take shelter in the jungle to carry out a war of more than 60 years, where several locations in our country became the hotspots of historical moments in the history of this guerrilla war, one of the most ancient of the American continent.
With the help of the ArcGIS API for Python and the implementation of Jupyter, these places together with the territorial advance of the FARC is visualized and explained to the readers in order to demonstrate some of the techniques and developments that can be done with this platform. Similarly, it shows different ways to share our information, using servers or from the cloud, and how it is possible to interact with it by lines of code provided by the API.
The literary parts of the following piece comes from the synopsis of the article published by the magazine “Revista Semana” on November 19, 2012, named "FARC History", which brings us the situation that some municipalities of Colombia experienced.
