About Colombia
Colombia's history is deeply rooted in the civilizations of the indigenous peoples who inhabited the region for millennia. The arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the 15th century marked the beginning of a colonial period that profoundly shaped the country's culture and society. Colombia gained its independence from Spain in 1810, though full sovereignty was achieved after years of struggle led by Simón Bolívar. The 20th century was marked by periods of political instability, including La Violencia, a prolonged conflict between conservative and liberal factions. Today, Colombia is working towards lasting peace and continues to develop its economy and strengthen its democratic institutions.
