BACKGROUND OF SIMON BOLIVAR:
“Simón Bolívar, known as The Liberator,
(born July 24, 1783, Caracas, New Granada—died Dec. 17, 1830, near Santa Maria, Colombia),
South American soldier and statesman
who led the revolutions against Spanish rule
in New Granada (now Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador),
Peru, and Upper Peru (now Bolivia).
The son of a Venezuelan aristocrat,
Bolívar received a European education.
Influenced by European rationalism,
he joined Venezuela’s independence movement
and became a prominent political and military leader.
The revolutionaries expelled Venezuela’s Spanish governor (1810)
and declared the nation’s independence in 1811.
The young republic was defeated by the Spanish in 1814,
and Bolívar went into exile.
In 1819 he undertook a daring attack on New Granada,
leading some 2,500 men over routes considered impassable.
Taking the Spanish by surprise, he defeated them quickly.
With the help of Antonio Sucre,
he secured the independence of Ecuador in 1822.
He completed José de San Martín’s revolutionary work in Peru,
freeing that country in 1824.
On Bolívar’s orders, Sucre liberated Upper Peru (1825).
As president of both Colombia (1821–30) and Peru (1823–29),
Bolívar oversaw the creation in 1826 of a league of Hispanic American states,
but the new states soon began warring among themselves.
Less successful at ruling countries than at liberating them,
Bolívar exiled himself and died on his way to Europe.”
