Gran Colombia (1819 - 1831) - the South American Super State under Simón Bolívar

- Опубліковано 9 лют 2024
- The Rise and Fall of Gran Colombia, which existed from 1819 to 1831, is a significant chapter in the history of South America. Gran Colombia was a vast republic that encompassed the territories of modern-day Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. It was born out of the tumultuous period of Spanish colonial rule and the broader Latin American struggle for independence from Spanish colonial rule. After the dissolution of Gran Colombia, these newly independent nations each developed their own political systems and governments. Simón Bolívar, who had played a central role in the independence movement, retired from politics and lived out his later years in exile.
The legacy of Gran Colombia is complex. While it represented an ambitious vision of a united South America, its ultimate dissolution underscored the challenges of governing a diverse and geographically vast region during a turbulent period in history. Nevertheless, the ideals of independence and national identity that emerged from this era continue to shape the nations of Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador to this day.

I’m so glad I’ve found this channel. Great work!
Awesome, thanks 👍
I’m from the states and have traveled in this part of SA thanks for the history lesson ❤
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks. I read that when Napoleon decided to organize colonies and settlements on these lands to keep convicts in them, he was asked - Who would escort and protect these declared scoundrels? Napoleon replied - Even more notorious scoundrels.
Excellent work Stefan, love your channel ❤ have a great weekend 💪🏻
Many thanks Jesse! Cheers from Santiago 🇨🇱
Good and Informative.

Very interesting 👌
Thanks 👌
The M7+ Earthquake of March 1812 that killed between 15,000-50,000 (no way to verify) needs to be addressed.
That complicated the entire revolt.
It was also the very 1st foreign aid of $50,000.00 (at that time) from the USA.
Interestingly, the USA just had their M7+ Earthquake of New Madrid of December 1811/January/February 1812.
Where did that $$$ come from?
No income tax was collected at that time.
Communications were by ship and horse, mainly.
The allocation was done in April 1812.
The War of 1812 was about to happen?
So many questions…
Didn't hear about that earthquake. Interesting to read.
@@HistoryHustle
Do you want or need links to those earthquakes?
Bolivar actually postponed and quit the fighting for a while because of the devastation to the people.
Deaths were just estimates as there were almost no accurate records back then along w/the indigenous deaths.
Great "Report"... "Instructor"..cant "emphasize" enough...your "contribution" to " world history" "Sir"!!
Thanks for watching.
Its amazing how quickly the Spanish empire fell apart in the first half of the 19th century... plainly they were not running their colonies very well.
Thanks for watching 🏅
Some worst British Indian Famines: 800,000 died in the North West Provinces, Punjab, and Rajasthan in 1837-1838; perhaps 2 million in the same region in 1860-1861; nearly 1 million in different areas in 1866-67; 4.3 million in widely spread areas in 1876-1878, an additional 1.2 million in the North West Provinces and ...Wiki.
They (the Spanish) actually put a lot of resistance to hold their Empire. That’s why the Hispanic Americans wars of independence were extremely bloody. In many places, it was war to death (guerra a muerte). In comparison to the much less bloody American Revolution and the Independence of Brazil, I believe the bloodiness of these independence wars in Hispanic America was also a reason for the chaos and violence that played later: when the new republics were born and were plagued by instability and internal conflicts.
Wait a second.....were you in Bogota recently? I am a US citizen living in Colombia, and just a couple weeks ago I swore I saw you, but I thought there could be no way you would be in Colombia. I think it was around Zona T in Bogota where I saw you, or your lookalike at least.
Haha, I left Bogota mid-December.
@@HistoryHustle I was in Bogota from around December 15th - 24th. I go there around once a month. I swear it was you who I saw. If it was you, you looked right at me, and for a second I thought “if that is him, he is probably wondering if I recognize him.”
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage video about the creation & fragments of a great Columbia to several separation states.. all those events occurred under the leadership of infamous Bolivar ,thank you🙏 ( history Hustle) channel , introduced by Sir Stefan 🙏
Great to read. Many thanks. Have a good Sunday.
I would like to hear more about South America.
👍
Did Gran Colombia lay claims to Esequibo (in todays Guyana)?
As far as I know not.
Oooo South America journey Stefan are you going the Falkland Islands???
I am considering it.
@@HistoryHustle hopefully, I’m sure it would be a good episode from a neutral point of view 👍🏻
Are you still a teacher? Or full time UA-camr now? Just with going to South America, I do know teachers get holidays lol
Thanks Stef, lovely work. Republicans versus loyalists, I wonder where I have heard this before 🙄
Thanks for watching.
Can you further discuss the collaboration between Simon Bolivar and Alexandre Petion, President of Haiti?
Perhaps something for the future.
Great information again. Here we have more information about Simon Bolivar.
Let's check what he did in Pasto, Colombia. "sending to heaven" all the population , including children and old men and women. A massacre
He was the main enemy of Peru. He wanted to ruled over us and wanted to be a "Presidente Vitalicio" what means President while he is alive , President for life.
Peru had a war against Bolivar. After this Ecuador was liberated from his "Gran Colombia". Let's remember that Guayaquil was integrated to Gran Colombia by force, against the will of the population. He wanted to charge Peruthe cost of his "independence" .
He offered britsh banks Nicaragua and Panama while he received guns and military equipment.
He betrated Francisco de Miranda
He wanted to reinstalled slavery
he lost the main battle of the Independence of Peru , Batalla de Junin. He ordered the retreat of the army, but a born in Peru as Andres Razuri leader of cavalry Husares del Peru said "no" and he changed the Junin Battle from losing to wining.
He was not a great military, but he was a great politician and a did a great job marketing himself as a great "liberator" . Let's do a research what Carl Mark thought about Bolivar + "napoleon de las retiradas" . Thanks for reading again.
Thanks for sharing this.
Bolivar was een grondlegger voor de revoluties tegen de Spaanse kolonisering in Zuid Amerika. Een van mijn favoriete personen in de geschiedenis.
👍
Bolivar seemed at first a romantic revolutionary-But when you look at what he did, following Spain’s ousting. It seems he wanted South America free from Spain, so it could be ruled by him.
He was no George Washington. Brazilian independence was much more civil. More peaceful if likened to Hispanic America.
Gran Colombia was a centralist country formed after New Granada declared independence in 1819, initially made up of New Granada and Venezuela. The rebels, led by Simon Bolivar, defeated the Spanish Empire but then fought among themselves.
Ancaps love this playlist. The tittle is a virtuous click bait for us.
Obrigado, Stefan! ヽ(͡◕ ͜ʖ ͡◕)ﾉ 🍀 🇧🇷
Thanks for watching.
The dramatic and short-lived history of La Gran Colombia.
Indeed.
Come to New Mexico.
Not anytime soon.
Here in Canada there is actually a statue of Bolivar donated by some embassies of South America. Every time my father would pass it, he would ask who was he. Now I do the same for another reason. He really had nothing to do with Canada and in a way stands for everything that I do not find good. He was disloyal to the crown (which was the legitimate government), he was an opportunist, an executioner and a liar. I find it ironic that his statue is standing there whereas statues of other people who have made a great contribution to Canada such as Sir John MacDonald and Egerton Ryerson have been damaged or pulled down. Even statues of Queen Victoria and King George were either defaced or destroyed three summers ago. I find the whole affair sad and shameful. We should send the statue of Bolivar back to Bogota and replace it with Sir John. Three cheers for the true and lasting Empire!
The monarchy is nothing but a faded relic.
@@thorpeaaron1110 Even today, most advanced/prosperous/stable countries are monarchies.
Oh brother.
Seriously, Bolivar wanted South America free from Spain, but not free from him. He was a wannabe emperor, like his Haitian analog.
Why such a man should be honored with a statue anywhere in North America is just bonkers.
