The Federal War - also known as the Great War or the Five Year War - was a civil war (1859–1863) in Venezuela between the conservative party and the liberal party about the monopoly of the conservatives of the land and the government positions, and their reluctance to grant any reforms. This drove the liberals to look for greater autonomy for the provinces. It was the biggest civil war Venezuela had had since its independence.

  • The Federal War - also known as the Great War or the Five Year War - was a civil war (1859–1863) in Venezuela between the conservative party and the liberal party about the monopoly of the conservatives of the land and the government positions, and their reluctance to grant any reforms. This drove the liberals to look for greater autonomy for the provinces. It was the biggest civil war Venezuela had had since its independence. Hundreds of thousands died in the violence of the war, or from hunger or disease, in a country with a population of just over a million people. The Federal War was mainly a guerrilla war largely without a centralized command for the Federalists, who professed to ride on social resentment. Just three major conventional battles were fought: The Battle of Santa Inés, in which Ezequiel Zamora and 3,400 men defeated the Central Army of 2,300 men, with about 1,200 casualties altogether both sides; the Battle of Coplé, victory of the government forces of general León de Febres Cordero over a Federalist army of 4,500 men, commanded by Falcón, and the Battle of Buchivacoa. The hostilities ended with the signing of the Treaty of Coche in April 1863.
  • La Guerra Federal, también conocida como Guerra Larga o Guerra de los Cinco Años, fue el enfrentamiento militar entre tendencias conservadoras y liberales en la Venezuela del siglo XIX. Está considerado el enfrentamiento bélico más costoso para Venezuela tras su independencia. Los conservadores, oligarquía surgida de la guerra independentista, se oponían a modificar el orden social establecido desde la colonia, imperturbable luego de la guerra de independencia de Venezuela, incluyendo entre otras cosas el sistema electoral. Por otro lado, los liberales, proclamaban los ideales de libertad e igualdad. Durante la guerra, los liberales eran conocidos con el nombre de federalistas ya que el federalismo y la autonomía de las provincias eran sus reivindicaciones principales.
  • La Guerre fédérale (en espagnol Guerra Federal), appelée également Révolution fédérale, Longue guerre ou encore Guerre de cinq ans, est une guerre civile au Venezuela qui de 1859 à 1863 oppose les conservateurs aux fédéralistes. Les premiers veulent garder la gestion de l'État et tous leurs privilèges alors que les seconds voulaient instaurer un véritable gouvernement populaire.
