In Latin American History, the Latin American Creation Theories are a set of Theories that explain the foundation and creation of different regions of Latin America . The theory was first developed by a group of Venezuelan and Honduran Historian s who were discussing the creation of each of their respective regions. After a series of debates with various other scholars, those of which were Ecuadorian , Cuban , etc., the historians concluded and decided that the following theories were acceptable. The theory discusses the foundation of northern and central South America as well as Central America . THEORY OF THE GRAN COLOMBIA DIASPORA The Origins of the Diaspora From 1819 to 1831, Gran Colombia occupied the region that is currently made up by the nations of Colombia , Venezuela , Ecuador , as well as parts of Costa Rica , Panama , Peru , Brazil , and Guyana . In accordance with the Gran Colombia Diaspora Theory, in 1822 Simón Bolívar , the President of Gran Colombia and vice-president Francisco De Paula Santander devised a plan in order to purify Gran Colombia and separate the Republic into different regions, each occupying a certain group of inhabitants. On August 12, 1822 , Bolívar and de Paula Santander officially Ratified ''El Acto de Purificación'', a Law that officially recognized the separation of Gran Colombia into separate regions, each with its own inhabitants. Venezuela The major catalyst behind ''El Acto de Purifacición'' was the purification of the Venezuelan region. Bolívar, a Venezuelan by birth, made certain that Venezuela was designated the ''pure region'', but de Paula Santander, a Colombian, pleaded Bolívar to share the privelage with Colombia. For four consecutive days there was a series of Political Debate s in which Bolívar eventually triumphed and Venezuela was made the pure region. The decision was made that on August 28, 1822 Venezuela would be officially freed of any inferior peoples who would be sent to various regions of Gran Colombia. Colombia The history behind the origins of the modern day Colombia is in fact relatively simple. On August 30, 1822 an estimated 9,000 people were relocated to Colombia. Those 9,000 refugees included Delinquent s, Substance Abuse rs, and a small amount of Impoverished and Handicap ped people. The historical relationship between Venezuela and Colombia is similar to that between Great Britain and Australia . FURTHER RELOCATIONS Ecuador and Peru As soon as Bolívar managed to secure the allocation of Colombia as the residence of the plebeian, malefactor class of South American society, he decided that it was now time to continue the purification of Venezuela by displacing the Native Population that resided in northern South America into one common region. Bolívar and de Paula Santander ultimately decided upon the region directly under Colombia, Ecuador . The area was chosen after Venezuelan officials designated the area as, "the most natural environment for them to continue their original form of living." In October Of 1822 , over 60,000 Indigenous Peoples where moved into Ecuador. Although the first months in Ecuador proceeded without much occurrence, on January 3, 1823 , Juana Mar Tzibatl, a local political leader, organized a council of native members in order to pressure the Venezuelan administration to provide more land for their people. On January 19, 1823 , Bolívar approved the re-zoning of Northern Peru as an indigenous zone, this was later extended to include all of Peru . Brazil The final stage of Bolívar and de Paula Santander's purifaction plan included the removal of various wild Animals that threatened the survival of the pure population that resided in Venezuela. Between the months of April and November 1823 the Venezuelan Government removed over 60 various Species of animals that were considered a Threat to the Venezuelan society and relocated them in the northern Amazon which is currently under the Jurisdiction of the Government Of Brazil . The Conference of Three Autonomous Regions After living in harmony for over 5 years, in 1829 Bolívar and de Paula Santander were once again forced to exercise the relocation of a new Minority that had appeared. Once Venezuela had reached International status of perfection, the administration was plagued by constant Immigration into the consummate region. The main culprits were a group of 90,000 Italian fugitives that arrived via the Expulsion Of Palermo . After suffering various incidents as a direct result of the newly arrived foreigners, Bolívar and de Paula Santander were convinced that further action would be needed in order to return Venezuela to its harmonious epoch. In order to achieve this tedious task, the political duo managed to acquire the Southern Territory of South America from the British Government for ₤3 million. The territory stretched from the Eastern Southern South America to the opposite coast. At once the region was designated as the region for the relocation of the foreigners. It was settled on February 4, 1829 that in two months time the foreigners would be relocated into the Souther Territory of South America. After the announcement of the relocation the Italian minority went into uproar. Emmanuele Rossi quickly rose to become the leader of the foreigners. Rossi and his comrades, as they reffered to themselves, quickly pushed the issue that the region which would be given to them was far too insufficient in area as to appropriately fit all 90,000 immigrants. Although the land in numbers was immense, Rossi and his followers argued that because of Cultural influence all of the Italians would decide to overpopulate a particular region despite there being apple land to fit all of them. In , Uruguay , and Argentina . Finally, after six months of preparation, Bolívar signed the Act of Foreign Relocation which officially moved 45,000 foreigners into Argentina, 30,000 foreigners into Chile, and 15,000 into Uruguay. |
