I haven't seen that one yet, but I think it's pretty much the same pattern everywhere, throughout all history - centralizers vs localists. It's the tug of war of power over the distribution of human energy.
@@fusion9619 no I know your pain. Understanding this political nonsense is second nature for me since I'm Polish. Gran Columbia and the EU are two drops of water.
@@magdaw3123 do you think the EU is going to fall apart? Since the start of Brexit, the EU has appeared like they were bad guys, but I'm sure it would be a terrible ordeal if it broke up completely. BTW, I like Poland and I really want to visit someday.
Thanks for explaining other perspectives about what had happen to Grand Columbia. Because my only knowledge about Grand Columbia was through Extra History’s video about Simon Bolivar. Now after watching your video and thinking about it. I think it kind would’ve been a smart move if Simon just agree to the 1821 constitution. To keep the regionalist happy. But then again, according to Extra History the reason why Simon Bolivar decided to make himself dictator was because Gran Columbia wasn’t really stable after the revolution. Not to mention how most regional leaders in Gran Columbia hated each other, but they all would only get along as long as Simon was with them. So Simon decide to remain as leader until Gran Columbia is stable enough for him to retire from his position.
Also another fact when Simon Bolivar was young and was touring around Paris, he was outraged when Napoleon Bonaparte make himself emperor of France. He was originally against the idea of individual leaders who crown himself absolute power after leading a revolution, sadly when he became leader he kind of follow the same path as Napoleon. Also he has a nephew who was in America, and his nephew had met general Lafayette. With that Simon Bolivar and Lafayette became pen pals.
