Benjamín Herrera was a Colombian general and political figure known for leading the Liberal army during the Thousand Days' War, a devastating civil conflict that took place from 1899 to 1902. His role in the war culminated in a peace treaty signed aboard a U.S. Navy ship, which marked a significant turning point in Colombia's tumultuous history.
