description This article studies the evolution of military expense in the State of Bolívar between the years of 1859 and 1889, during the governments of radical liberalism in the United States of Colombia. The data for this research was compiled from the Gaceta de Bolívar and other oficial documents, such as the public annual budgets of the State. The interest of this research was the expense analysis of the administrative department of the milicia. The main objective was to demostrate how the politics of radical liberalism focused on iscal and military descentralization, with the aim of strengthening local powers, handing over the control and administration of the inancial resources of the State of Bolívar and its milicia to the regional elite. For this purpose, this research analyzes the forms of inancing in the State militia and the internal costs of its functioning, accounting for the scarce budget allocation for paying wages, war material, military education and health service. This led to a practice by which the State militia demanded private funding from society in order to cover expropriations and loans, the necessary budget lines for its organization and operation.

En el presente artículo, estudio la evolución del gasto militar en el Estado de Bolívar, entre los años de 1859 y 1886, durante los gobiernos del liberalismo radical en los Estados Unidos de Colombia. Para ello, compilé a través de la Gaceta de Bolívar y otros documentos oficiales, los presupuestos públicos anuales del Estado, centrando mi interés en analizar el gasto en el departamento administrativo de la milicia. Mi objetivo principal es mostrar, cómo las políticas del liberalismo radical se enfocaron en la descentralización fiscal y militar, con el fin de fortalecer a los poderes locales, cediéndole a las élites regionales el control y la administración de los recursos del Estado de Bolívar y de su milicia. Para lograr este objetivo, indagué por las formas de financiación de la milicia del Estado y los gastos internos para su funcionamiento, dando cuenta de la escasa partida presupuestal para pagar sueldos, material de guerra, educación y sanidad militar, lo que conllevó a que en la práctica la milicia estatal reclamara de la sociedad a través de recursos privados, las expropiaciones y los empréstitos, los rubros necesarios para su organización y funcionamiento. Dans cet article nous étudions les dépenses militaires de l’État de Bolivar entre 1859 et 1886 au temps du libéralisme radical des Etats-Unis de Colombie. Pour analyser les dépenses du département administratif dela milice, nous avons collecté dans la Gaceta de Bolívar et dans d’autres documents oficiels les budgets publics annuels de l’État. Notre but est de montrer comment les politiques du libéralisme radical, qui se distinguaient par la décentralisation iscal et militaire, ont permis de renforcer les pouvoirs locaux et de concéder aux élites régionales le contrôle et à la gestion des ressources de l’État de Bolivar et de sa milice. Pour ce faire, nous avons cherché à connaître les formes de inancement de la milice de l’État et son fonctionnement en détail, ce qui nous a emmené à constater que les rubriques budgétaires allouées aux salaires, au matériel de guerre, à l’éducation et à la santé militaire étaient clairement insufisantes et que la milice de l’État devait recourir à la société, par le biais des ressources privés, expropriations et emprunts, pour obtenir l’argent nécessaire à son organisation et fonctionnement.
