Why did gran colombia fail?

by 99euine99

Simon Bolivar formed gran Colombia after liberating Spanish colonies in South America. But Its hard for me to find reasons why this fell apart. Any idea as to why this collapsed in 1831?

Here are two answers I wrote regarding the dissolution of Gran Colombia and its causes. First, this one focusing on the causes as such, and then this one, focusing on the cultural differences that made the union difficult. If you have any doubts or follow-up questions, please ask! This is one of my favorite topics and I'd love to say more.
