*CIVIL war, *SOCIAL conflict, COLOMBIAN Civil War, 1876-1877
Abstract
This paper seeks to understand from a regional perspective the causes of the civil war of 1876-1877 in the Northeastern Colombian Andes. An approximation is made to the urban hierarchy in the current Colombian departments of Santander and Norte de Santander between 1853 and 1875. The conditions leading to conflict and the change in that hierarchy are presented. In addition, intervening players and the location of the events of the war are identified. It concludes that the group that fell in urban hierarchy was the one that started the war and that this hierarchical change was one of the causes of the war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract
Este trabajo busca comprender regionalmente las causas de la guerra civil de 1876-1877, en los Andes nororientales colombianos. Se reconstruye y se analiza la malla de asentamientos urbanos de los Santanderes entre 1853 y 1857, se establece la jerarquía de los centros urbanos, las condiciones que contribuyeron al surgimiento de conflictos y los relevos jerárquicos que estos propiciaron. Por otro lado, se identifica a los actores que intervinieron en la guerra y la localización de los acontecimientos bélicos. Con base en este análisis se muestra que el grupo que inició la guerra fue el mismo que perdió jerarquía en la malla urbana y que ésta fue una de las causas de la guerra.
