Gran Colombia was a country formed after Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama declared independence. These countries were part of Gran Colombia. Simon Bolivar, who led the independence movement, became president. In 1830, however, Venezuela and Ecuador separated from Gran Colombia, and was renamed Colombia, which then faced the separation of Panama.
