José Manuel Marroquín
José Manuel Marroquín was a Colombian politician and the 12th President of Colombia, serving from 1900 to 1904. He was a member of the Conservative Party and is historically noted for his role during a tumultuous period marked by civil unrest, particularly the Thousand Days' War between liberals and conservatives. His presidency was characterized by significant political strife and the loss of Panama, which seceded from Colombia with support from the United States. Marroquín's administration accepted a treaty that allowed the U.S. to build the Panama Canal, a decision that has been criticized for its implications on Colombian sovereignty. He famously stated, 'I received a country and delivered two,' reflecting on the division caused by Panama's independence.
