Before 1903, Panama was governed by Spain and then by Colombia. Spain controlled Panama from the time of its colonization in the 16th century until the early 19th century. Following a series of independence movements across Latin America, Panama became part of the Republic of Colombia in 1821, remaining under Colombian governance until its separation in 1903.
