Talk:Gran Colombia

message: Hello, I just have a question. Its about the map. Regarding Ecuador, I believe that most of the area that was between the Putumayo and Caqueta Rivers wa "on Dispute" with the Peruvian Republic, son I believe that the map should be modify to state that. Also, In this map particulary, the territory that is on dispute with the Empire of Brasil was legaly ceded by Perú, and is because of that secession that Peru ejoys unrestricted navigation rights trought the Amazon river.

replies: text: Hello Pipodv, welcome to the English Wikipedia.  This article is about the historical "Greater Colombia," not the present-day Republic of Columbia, which has an article under Colombia.  Thank you for editing the English Wikipedia, your contributions regarding Colombia are welcome here, but please be sure you understand what you are editing.  NTK 20:26, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Borders of Gran Colombia 

message: I think the following is misleading: "Panama remained as a province of this country until 1903, when – with backing from the United States in exchange for allowing the US to build the Panama Canal – it became independent.
In reality, it was clandestine USA funding and armament of a small local separatist faction that achieved this, so that the US would have control over the canal zone for their own uses. There was no 'exchange', the US effectively stole Panama from Colombia through covert warfare so that they could own and run the canal zone instead of Colombia.
Panama tried separate of Colombia in 1830, 1831 and 1840 to 1841 but it failed and the isthmus was joined to Colombia as Department until november 1903.--Taichi 09:17, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

message: The article's name needs to be changed: It's not "Great Colombia", but "Greater Colombia". While "Gran Colombia" is the literal translation, historians have traditionally chosen to render it "Greater Colombia" in English.

Since nobody explicitly opposed the suggestion of "Gran Colombia", and that phrase is very much more prevalent than either translation, I have taken the liberty of choosing that title for the article. This article has been renamed  as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 20:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't see the reason to move this article at all. Gran Colombia is used much more widely in English then is "Greater Colombia". Example: Encyclopædia Britannica uses Gran Colombia in its entry for the subject of this article. --Jersey Devil 06:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: In the first paragraph, it mentions the current countries that were once a part of Gran Colombia... there is no mention of Nicaragua or Honduras. Yet on the map provided, it shows what are clearly parts of Nicaragua (Caribbean coast north of Rio San Juan/due east of Lake Nicaragua) and a small bit of Honduras (north of the Rio Coco). I didn't edit, because I don't know if the map or the article is right. But one of the two must be mistaken. Which is it? 72.81.108.108 (talk) 02:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Republic of Spanish Haiti might have considered to petition Gran Colombia, but did it ever formally do it?  And if so, did Gran Colombia accept? If the answer to either question is no—and I strongly suspect it is—then it never was part of Gran Colombia.TriniMuñoz (talk) 20:04, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

text: The Misquito Coast was part of Colombia and now is the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. It needs to be mentioned in the article.--Bushhopper (talk) 11:07, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Found an article in the Spanish wiki called Territorial evolution of Colombia where these details are explained.--Bushhopper (talk) 03:16, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Mosquito Coast was technically part of the Viceroyalty of New Granada from 1803 (see Capitanía General de Guatemala, although the citation doesn't reproduce the decree cited in the article), but it should be noted that neither the Viceroyalty nor the Captaincy General of Guatemala, or their successor states, had much control of this area, a situation which allowed the British to forge an alliance with the locals. This situation continued until the end of the nineteenth century. So this is an interesting technicality, but not a central one. In many ways it's more important to the later disputes over the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina decades after the collapse of Gran Colombia.TriniMuñoz (talk) 20:04, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
