Simon Bolivar and Latin American Revolutions

Simon Bolivar was born in Caracas,Venezuela and he was a hero all over south america thats why he is famous also becuase he has helped many people to gain their independence in their own countries from the european power which were the spanish people and then he would think he would go to europe and study thigns about over thier when he heard soemthing about a revolution and how a country in europe named france were freed and he was also influnced by it. also he studied their way of government and also ht were freed by the rule of Britain. When he made all his studies and had made a trip back to his country and he started to make a revolutionary army and he would make plans so he can make millitary strategies to defeat the spanish millitary. He had a few lost battles but eventually he won the war he freed south america and this leads him to be a hero.

When the revolutionary war in south america kept going on Simon Bolivar had been sick and he was still strong and going after the war was over the three countries which were columbia, ecuador, and venzuela were known as the gran columbia becuase he thought if these three countries were to unite as one they would be a strong country. The idea didnt work though as the people in these three countries fought for land and they wanted to be separated and have their governments differently.

The trial of gaileo

In the trial of Galileo he went for trial of trying to explain the universe of how he thinks the earth is not in the center of the universe but instead the sun is in the center of the universe but other people think that is not true so thats why he is their. During his trials it was two worlds that dangers of a bureaucracy intent on preserving its own power. Galileo at young age was a very skilled scientist and this is why he kept on going to his studies about his theory on how the sun is in the middle of the universe. During his trial he was going against the scholastism and religious systems and he ended the itlalian renissance. Galileo would go with ideas from older guys plan that he also thought that with copernicus studies he would have proof to show in court against the church and religious people. These were some things that galileo galilie said in his trial against the catholic church. "ina any way" teach the doctrine of the motion of the Earth and the stability of the Sun, I answered that I had not done so. And, not being questioned as to the reason why I had not intimated it, I had no opportunity to add anything further"
