The Thousand Days' War - Liberals vs. Conservatives 1899-1902.

In 1899, the Thousand Days' War erupted between Colombian Liberals and Conservatives, fueled by longstanding political and social tensions. The conflict stemmed from ideological differences, economic disparities, and power struggles within Colombian society. The Liberals sought to challenge the Conservative dominance, leading to a violent uprising that lasted for a thousand days. The war had a devastating impact on Colombia, resulting in widespread destruction, loss of life, and economic turmoil. Both sides engaged in fierce battles, causing significant civilian casualties and displacement. The conflict also exacerbated existing social divisions and deepened political rifts within the country. The Thousand Days' War finally came to an end in 1902, with the Conservatives emerging victorious. However, the aftermath of the conflict left a legacy of bitterness, resentment, and instability in Colombian society. The war highlighted the deep-seated political and social issues that continued to plague the country for years to come. #ThousandDaysWar #ColombianConflict #LiberalConservativeTensions
