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.
