LA VIOLENCIA

On 9th April 1948, the leftist Liberal Party leader of Colombia, Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, was murdered in Bogotá. Popular outrage led to an outburst of violent street rioting (known as “el bogotazo”), which was put down within a few days. However, this sparked off ten years of virtual civil war in the countryside between supporters of the Liberal and Conservative parties in which some 300,000 people died. This period is known as la Violencia, and only ended when the two parties, united by their opposition to the dictatorship of General Rojas Pinilla (1953-7), agreed to form a Frente Nacional under which they alternated in power over the next 16 years.
