In 1867, a war letter was sent from Boyacá to Brussels in what was then called the Kingdom of Belgium. At that time, a state, now a department, declared war on a first-world country on its own, without depending on the rest of Colombia. It only took an unrequited love, a jilted leader, and a failed war letter to star in one of the longest and most absurd wars of all time. Not a single bullet, not a tiny drop of blood was shed in this story where revenge and retaliation were the main ingredients.
