章節 677: Chapter 250: Unlucky Egg

The competition among England, France, and Austria, the rush of Chile, Peru, and Bolivia to win over allies, and a fierce political struggle breaking out within the Colombian Government.

The presidential election of 1880 turned into a focal point of contention for all parties. President Julian Trujillo Largacha, realizing the trouble, resolutely chose to withdraw from the election.
