    Poor peasants throughout Colombia protested in the second half of the 20th century to demand changes to land ownership policies, as much of the arable land was concentrated under a few landowners. While President Lopez enacted a law in 1936 to address the unequal distribution of land, it had the unintended effect of encouraging landowners to expel peasant settlers from their property, exacerbating agrarian conflicts and violence between the two groups. This agrarian conflict was one of the causes that led to increased violence and unrest in Colombia in this period.

    Agrarian conflicts

    Another social sector, which protested to improve their living conditions were poor
    peasants. Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, they also made their voice
    to demand mainly changing the form of land tenure.

    At the time, much of the arable land was concentrated in a few hands, then the peasants
    took a series of actions such as the invasion of land to force the government to
    democratize the property. The different governments, especially conservatives, lined with
    landowners to prevent these actions and prosecute farmers who performed. Lopez's
    government was aware of this situation and to remedy enacted Law 200 of 1936.

    However, this law had the opposite effect than expected: landlords, seeing that some
    settlers living on their lands could claim ownership over she decided to expel them. Thus,
    after 1930, the agrarian conflict and violence between landowners and peasants soared
    and became one of the causes that gave birth to the period of Violence.
