Colombian War of Independence

The Colombian War of Independence (1810-1819) was a conflict where Colombian revolutionaries fought to end Spanish colonial rule and become an independent nation. Inspired by Enlightenment ideas and other independence movements in Latin America, local leaders and citizens united against Spanish authorities, facing military and political challenges. The struggle involved battles, strategic alliances, and key figures like Simón Bolívar. Ultimately, the conflict resulted in Colombia gaining sovereignty, forming the foundation for the modern nation. This war was part of broader Latin American struggles for independence from Spain during the early 19th century.
