How many people died in Colombia’s War of a Thousand Days?

The War of a Thousand Days (1899–1903), a civil conflict between the Liberal and Conservative parties in Colombia, resulted in between 60,000 and 130,000 deaths.1

This significant loss of life occurred both in direct combat and as a result of disease, alongside extensive property damage and national economic ruin. The war was fueled by political exclusion and economic distress, particularly among coffee growers, and ultimately concluded with peace treaties that promised amnesty and reform.1
