How it ended, as its article says
Replaced by Republic, 1886. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
After several more years of intermittent civil wars, it was replaced by the more centralist Republic of Colombia in 1886, predecessor to modern Colombia.

Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera | 1863 – 1864 | 1 year | ending not on record | |
| José María Campo Serrano | 1886 – 1886 | under a year | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1863 – 1886. Only 23 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 3 causes the record names and 2 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
