History

The beginning of the Third Republic of Venezuela is attributed to the period after the Guayana campaign, during which the Republicans restored democratic institutions in Angostura. Appointments to the Council of State were done by its Supreme Commander, Simón Bolívar, who made Francisco Antonio Zea councillor of state and finance, Luis Brión councillor of the navy and military, and Juan Martínez Alemán councillor of interior and justice. The Republic ended after the Congress of Angostura of 1819 decreed the union of Venezuela with New Granada, to form the Republic of Gran Colombia.

Venezuela would become once again an independent Republic after its separation from Gran Colombia in 1830, with José Antonio Páez as President.
