Quick Summary

The Regeneration was a period of Colombian political reform initiated by President Rafael NĂșñez in 1880. This era aimed to centralize government power, moving away from the supremacy of individual states, and re-establish the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. The Regeneration followed a period of civil conflict and led to the promulgation of a new constitution in 1886, ushering in an era of Conservative dominance that lasted for 50 years. This period also saw significant internal improvements and industrial development, though political struggles between Liberals and Conservatives continued, culminating in the War of a Thousand Days (1899-1903). The loss of Panama in 1903 also occurred during this time.123
