Simon Bolivar, also known as "El Libertador," was a Venezuelan military and political leader who played a key role in the Spanish American wars of independence. Bolivar was born on July 24, 1783, in Caracas, Venezuela, and grew up during a time when the Spanish American colonies were beginning to demand greater independence and autonomy from the Spanish Empire.

Bolivar became involved in the independence movement at a young age and went on to lead several military campaigns against the Spanish forces in what are now Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Panama. He is credited with leading several decisive battles, including the Battle of Boyacá in Colombia in 1819 and the Battle of Carabobo in Venezuela in 1821. Bolivar also played a key role in the creation of the Republic of Gran Colombia, a federation of several of the newly independent Spanish American countries, in 1819.

Throughout his life, Bolivar was driven by a desire to create a united South America, free from colonial rule and with a strong central government. He worked tirelessly to achieve this goal, but despite his best efforts, many of the newly independent countries soon fell into political turmoil and economic instability. Bolivar died on December 17, 1830, in Santa Marta, Colombia, at the age of 47, still working towards his vision of a united South America.

The legacy of Simon Bolivar is a complex one, and he is remembered both as a liberator and a hero in many parts of South America, and as a controversial figure in others. Nevertheless, his contributions to the independence of several countries and his vision for a united South America continue to be celebrated and remembered to this day. Simon Bolívar, known colloquially as El Libertador, or the Liberator of America, was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1783. Bolivar was one of the most influential leaders in the Spanish American wars of independence. He began his military career in 1810, fighting for the Venezuelan War of Independence, and after a defeat in New Granada, he sought refuge and military support from Haiti's Alexandre Pétion. Upon his return to Venezuela, he established a third republic in 1817 and then crossed the Andes in 1819 to liberate New Granada. Bolívar and his allies defeated the Spanish in New Granada in 1819, Venezuela and Panama in 1821, Ecuador in 1822, Peru in 1824, and Bolivia in 1825. His successful military campaigns ultimately freed these countries from Spanish rule and unified them into the Republic of Colombia. what happened?
