Gran Colombia

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Gran Colombia

Former South American republic (1819–30). Formerly the Viceroyalty of New Granada, it included roughly the modern nations of Colombia, Panama, Venezuela, and Ecuador. Gran Colombia was formed in 1819 during the war for independence from Spain, with its capital at Bogotá. Revolutionary leader Simón Bolívar was its creator and first president. Gran Colombia had a vigorous existence during the war, but it was dissolved with the secession of Venezuela and Ecuador in 1830.
