Bolívar’s dream of Gran Colombia is shattered…
December 1830 CE
Bolívar’s dream of Gran Colombia is shattered with Venezuela and Ecuador having broken away to form independent states of their own.
Before setting sail and after a painful battle with tuberculosis, Bolívar dies on December 17, 1830, in the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino in Santa Marta, Gran Colombia (now Colombia).
