Hello!
I've been reading about the independence of Latin America recently, and something that consistently comes up is the significant role that Venezuela (what later became Venezuela) played in the downfall of Gran Colombia. I'm still trying to understand the specifics of how Venezuela's differences and influence were pivotal. I would appreciate more insights on the differences between the divisions of New Granada and the main ideological parties. My point, however, relates to how the history of Gran Colombia(New Granada) might have unfolded if there had been a German colony in the area. This idea of a German colony has been previously discussed, but the scenario I'm considering involves a significant portion of what would become Venezuela(I imagine east Venezuela and Guyana) being part of this German state (whose name I'm yet to create)
Would this eventually smaller Gran Colombia be more stable? And how would this German Colony work, especially demographically speaking(I don't really know how the Germans would deal with slavery and stuff)?
