About this listen

 In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the devastating Thousand Days' War (1899–1902), a civil conflict that tore Colombia apart at the turn of the 20th century. They explore the bitter rivalry between Liberals and Conservatives, the key figures like Rafael Uribe Uribe, and the war's brutal toll—over 100,000 dead. The conversation then turns to the aftermath: the loss of Panama in 1903, fueled by U.S. intervention and Colombian political paralysis. Lucas explains how President Theodore Roosevelt backed Panamanian independence and secured the Panama Canal, a move that still stings in Colombian memory. They also touch on the long-term consequences, including the rise of the banana enclave economy and the seeds of later violence. This is a deep look at a pivotal, often overlooked chapter that reshaped Colombia's borders and psyche.
