Dissolution Of Gran Colombia
The dissolution of Gran Colombia refers to the disintegration of the political structures and the central government of said South American country, which culminated in the creation of three independent states: the Republic of Venezuela, the Republic of Ecuador and the Republic of New Granada. The main ideological leader for the creation of Gran Colombia was the Liberator Simón Bolívar, who intended to create a nation strong enough to compete economically with the European powers and maintain its independence. It was the most ambitious dream of unity in Latin America. Background Although Gran Colombia was created in 1819 with the union of New Granada (today Colombia), Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama in an attempt to unite various peoples from northern South America into a single nation, the new Republic was seen as by its constituent nations more as a resource to join forces against the viceregal power and prevent its reestablishment, than as the culmination of a process o ...

Gran Colombia
Gran Colombia (, "Great Colombia"), or Greater Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia (Spanish: ''República de Colombia''), was a state that encompassed much of northern South America and part of southern Central America from 1819 to 1831. It included present-day Colombia, mainland Ecuador (i.e. excluding the Galápagos Islands), Panama, and Venezuela, along with parts of northern Peru, northwestern Brazil, and Part of Guyana. The terms Gran Colombia and Greater Colombia are used historiographically to distinguish it from the current Republic of Colombia, which is also the official name of the former state. However, international recognition of the legitimacy of the Gran Colombian state ran afoul of European opposition to the independence of states in the Americas. Austria, France, and Russia only recognized independence in the Americas if the new states accepted monarchs from European dynasties. In addition, Colombia and the international powers disagreed over the exte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bolívar's Campaign To Liberate New Granada
Bolívar's campaign to liberate New Granada was part of the Colombian and Venezuelan wars of independence and was one of the many military campaigns fought by Simón Bolívar. Bolívar's victory in New Granada (today, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Panama) secured the eventual independence of northern South America. It provided Bolívar with the economic and human resources to complete his victory over the Spanish in Venezuela and Colombia. Bolívar's attack on New Granada is considered one of the most daring in military history, compared by contemporaries and some historians to Napoleon's crossing of the Alps in 1800 and José San Martín's Crossing of the Andes in 1817. Background During the years 1815 and 1816, Spain had reconquered most of New Granada after five years of de facto and official independence. By 1817, Bolívar had set up his headquarters in the Orinoco region in southern Venezuela. It was an area from which the Spaniards could not easily oust him. There h ...
