Revolt of the Comuneros (New Granada)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Revolt of the Comuneros is series of uprisings by local inhabitants in New Granada, now Colombia, against the Spanish authorities between 1740 and 1779. While underlying causes may have been economic, ideas of freedom and self-government were expressed. These uprisings preceded the fight for liberation against Spanish colonialism that took place in the 19th century.
