Colombian War of Independence

The Colombian War of Independence is traditionally held as having begun on July 20, 1810 when a government junta, a political governing board mostly headed by local colonists, was created in Santa Fe de Bogotá, the capital of the Spanish colonial Viceroyalty of New Granada. This junta overthrew the reigning viceroy of New Granada and established an autonomous government that claimed sovereignity over all of the Viceroyalty of New Granada.
