The 1946 presidential elections brought the downfall of the liberals allowing conservative Mariano Ospina Pérez to win the presidency. The struggle for power between both again triggered a period in the history of Colombia known as '' La Violencia'' ("The Violence") that lasted until approximately 1958; the civil conflict that continues to this day originated from t ...
