Gran Colombia (Failed Revolutions)

The Republic of Gran Colombia is a state that encompassed most of northern South America and parts of Southern Central America established in 1813 during the Latin American Revolutions by Simon Bolivar. Under the leadership of Simon Bolivar, Gran Colombia came to become one of the most prestigious nations in South America only to be rivaled by Peru-Bolivia and Argentina. Eventually by the 1850s and after a series of wars Gran Colombia rose to become the dominant power in South America.
