This paper analyzes the political and military relationship between Santa Marta, in the Caribbean cities New Granada, and Havana, Cuba, during the independence process. These were two cities where the support for the Spanish monarchy had deep roots, and where many actions and policies were developed in order to support the King and maintain the hegemony of the Crown, along with the Cortes de Cádiz. Also, this paper explains the government’s actions and responses in these cities to confront the independence process initiated by the patriots. Furthermore, there is an explanation of the fluvial, naval and land battles waged against other cities on the island committed to the independence cause.
