Junta Suprema de Nueva Granada

The Junta Suprema de Nueva Granada was a governing body established in 1810 in what is now Colombia, during the early stages of independence from Spain. It was formed to replace the colonial administration, aiming to manage local affairs and resist Spanish control. Comprising influential local leaders, the Junta sought to balance authority between revolutionary ideals and existing institutions. It marked a significant step toward self-governance, laying the groundwork for the eventual independence of Gran Colombia. The Junta's formation reflected broader Latin American movements towards autonomy during the early 19th century.
