Ms Sue - I just took an exam and on the question The Spanish Monarch Charles III established Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador under the viceroyalty of

1. Peru
2.New Granada
3. Bogota
4. Rio de Plata
I chose Peru, because of what I read on page 722 of our World Societies book, how can I be wrong? I see where it came to be New Granada, but my reading leads to believe it was Peru when this occurred! I don't understand how I am wrong, can you please tell me??
