History[]

Isla de la Trinidad was first discovered by Cristóbal Colón and after many failed colonisation attempts by several parties and some changing hands, finally the Dutch fortifications were over-run by French forces. Later it was annexed by Spanish forces under the command of Don García Laínez de Trastámara and added to the Viceroyalty of New Granada. Eventually, inspired by other revolutions in Latin America and helped by the US-Spanish War, Isla de la Trinidad declared independence from the Spanish Crown. In its place, a republic was set up: La República Trinidad. This republic still stands, in name, to this day. After years of civil war with loyalists seeking reconnection with Spain, General Juan Trastámara de Escobar installed himself in power with the help of the military and imposed martial law. Saying it was an extreme measure only for the interim of the civil war; at its end, the now styled Don Juan refused to give power back to the civil authorities which had been dissolved upon ascension of the military. Following an agreement with the Spanish loyalists, Isla de la Trinidad was renamed la Serenísima República de Nueva Granada in accordance with the Treaty of Santiago, where the armed wing of the outlawed New Spain Party gave up its arms for concessions from the government. These included the renaming of the country back to its colonial origins, greater local autonomy and a plebiscite on the reinstatement of the King of Spain as titular Head of State.
