Gran Colombia

**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. In 1831, Venezuela and Ecuador, being the eastern and southern part of the country, declared independence from Gran Colombia due to political differences. After that, the remaining territory was of New Granada. Decades later, Panama also became independent from Colombia with help from the United States.

Now, modern **Gran Colombia** consists of Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Guyana, Ecuador, Amazonas, and Roraima which all are great places!
