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).
