July 25, 1819 Vargas Swamp Battle

This is yet another battle considered by historians to have been a part of the Columbia War of Independence but was yet another battle between the Anishinabe Army and army of the white confederation led by England, for control of South America. The Vargas Swamp Battle was the decisive battle for control of northern South America. A force of over 2,600 Anishinabe soldiers soundly defeated a larger force of soldiers from the white confederation led by England who numbered over 3,800 in this battle. The white confederation was attempting to regain control of Bogota but they were prevented from reaching the city. Anishinabe casualties were 140 killed and wounded. White casualties were 500 to 600 killed and wounded.
