La Gran Colombia

La Gran Colombia was a large republic in South America that existed from 1819 to 1831. It united modern-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama under a single government, inspired by ideas of independence and unity after Spanish rule. Created by revolutionary leaders like Simón Bolívar, its goal was to create a strong, unified nation. However, differences among the regions, political disagreements, and regional interests led to its eventual breakup into separate countries. La Gran Colombia was an important experiment in regional unity and independence, shaping the future nations of northern South America.
