In 1501, the Spaniard R.de Bastidas first reached the northern coast of Colombia and founded the city of Santa Marta in 1525. In 1533, P.de Eredia established Cartagena. In 1535, G. Jimenez de Quesada led the Spanish colonial army into the interior of Colombia, conquered the Chibucha, established the city of Bogota, and Colombia became a Spanish colony. At the beginning

Under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Peru, the Spanish royal family established the Governor of New Granada in Bogota in 1718 and was directly ruled by the Governor. Under the Spanish colonial rule, the Indians were brutally exploited and the native whites were squeezed. Indians continued to revolt, and native-born whites held an uprising in 1781 (see New Granada uprising). In 1815, Bolivar envisioned in the letter from Jamaica that when South America was liberated from Spanish colonial rule, New Granada and Venezuela should form a country, named Colombia. In August 1819, Bolivar's Patriotic Army defeated the Spanish colonial army at the Battle of Boyaca and liberated Bogota. As a result, New Granada and most of Venezuela have been liberated. With the consent of the patriotic army and people of New Granada, Bolivar proposed in the Venezuelan Congress held in Angostura in December of the same year that Venezuela and New Granada unite to form a unified country. On December 17, Congress passed a resolution formally establishing the union of the two regions.

The Republic of Colombia. In May 1821, the State of Colombia held a Constituent Assembly in Kukuta, the interim capital, which adopted and promulgated the first Constitution of Colombia on August 20. The Constitution provides for a centralized republic and a series of decrees declaring the abolition of slavery, the liberation of slaves and their children, the prohibition of slave trade, and the equal rights of citizens, with freedom of speech and the press. The meeting elected Bolivar as the first President of the Republic and Santander as Vice President. In May 1822, General Bolivar Sucre led the army to liberate Quito, and then Ecuador declared to join the Republic of Colombia from 1832 to 1837, F.de P. Santander served as the first President of the Republic and exercised the dictatorship of Cordillo (see Cordillo Doctrine). Since then, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party (see the Colombian Conservative Party, the Colombian Liberal Party) competed for power and interests, resulting in frequent civil wars and long-term political instability. During the reign of the Liberal Party from 1849 to 1884 (which was once ruled by the Conservative Party from 1857 to 1860), a number of reforms were implemented: abolishing slavery and government monopoly; abolishing clerical privileges and confiscating church property; making a constitution that provides for the separation of church and state, proclaim freedom of belief, speech and the press. Colombia was renamed the Confederacy of Granada in 1856 and the United States of Colombia in 1863

The main varieties of Colombian coffee are small grains of coffee. Plants are small trees or large shrubs, 5-8 m tall, usually much branched at base; old branches gray-white, nodes dilated, young branches glabrous, compressed. Leaves thinly leathery, ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, 6-14 cm long and 3.5-5 cm wide, apex long acuminate, acuminate part 10-15 mm long, base cuneate or slightly obtuse, rarely rounded, entire or shallowly wavy, both surfaces glabrous, lower vein axils with or without small pores; midrib raised on both surfaces of leaf, 7-13 on each side of lateral veins; petiole 8-15 mm long Stipules broadly triangular, arising from the tip of the upper part of the young branch conical or awn tip, the tip of the old branch is often protruding tip, 3-6 mm long. Cymes are clustered in leaf axils, each with 2-5 flowers, without a total pedicel or with a very short peduncle; the pure flavor of fragrant Colombian coffee comes from Colombia's natural environment with the most favorable conditions for coffee growth. But beyond that, it is inseparable from the hard work of local growers. In Colombia, coffee cultivation has reached 1.07 million hectares, there are about 302000 coffee plantations in the country, and 30 to 40 per cent of the rural population depends directly on coffee production. Although there are many farms in Colombia, they are not large in area. The area of each farm is only about 2 hectares, and more than 80% of the coffee plantations have only about 5000 coffee trees, an average of 3000. Thus it can be seen that agriculture in Colombia belongs to the small-scale farm type. The locals plant tall trees or banana trees around the coffee trees. Build an Arbor for coffee trees at the seedling stage to ensure the cool and humid environment needed for coffee growth. Due to the high humidity, small temperature difference and slow ripening of beans in the coffee forest, which is conducive to the accumulation of caffeine and aromatic substances, the best quality Colombian coffee is mainly Arabica coffee (coffea arabica), that is, small fruit coffee (small grain coffee). Relatively speaking, large fruit coffee (coffea robusta) is mostly grown in Africa of origin, such as the famous Malagasy coffee. There are several varieties of small fruit coffee. Brazilian coffee, which has the largest yield in the world, has larger seeds, stronger adaptability and high fruit yield. In contrast, the mild coffee produced in Colombia is a more high-quality variety, which is related to its special geographical location and climatic environment.
