United States of Colombia (Spanish: Estados Unidos de Colombia) was the name adopted in 1863^[2][3] by the Constitución de Rionegro [es] for the Granadine Confederation, after years of civil war. Colombia became a federal state itself composed of nine "sovereign states.” It comprised the present-day nations of Colombia and Panama and parts of northwestern Brazil. After several more years of intermittent civil wars, it was replaced by the more centralist Republic of Colombia in 1886, predecessor to modern Colombia.
