Bolivar joined the rebellion movement in Caracas and he fought with the people and gained the independence of Venezuela in 1810. After this he lead the Admirable Campaign against the Spanish rule. He won this and led the creation of Gran Colombia (present day Venezuela, Parma , Columbia and Ecuador).

El Libertador “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion is a right.” Simon Bolivar was declared “The Liberator” by his own people and his legacy as an inspiring military general lives on today throughout Latin America. Through Bolivar’s revolution, he successfully freed and established Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Panama. Finally, at the peak of his power, Bolivar ruled from the Argentine border all the way to the Caribbean Sea. Bolivar himself was born as a second-class citizen due to the rigid Spanish social structure; throughout his life, he sought equality in his home country and grew into one of the most powerful military figures in history.

Throughout the course of his whole lifetime he was able to free almost all of northern South America, and at this point he was known as “El Liberator.” When studying South American independence efforts, it is physically impossible to bypass Simon Bolivar because of his prevalence in all countries. He was able to weave himself into the independence efforts of many countries, including Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia. He was able to free these countries through a multitude of ways and had significant effects on these countries, even to the extent that he is still known as “El Libertador” today. In 1810, Venezuela’s independence movement declared independence from Spain, and a new government was created. However, the movement was defeated by Spain, and Bolívar was forced to flee to Cartagena, Colombia. In 1813, fighting once again broke out between the rebels and the Spanish. This time Bolívar and his troops successfully defeated the Spanish. Bolívar then went to New Granada (present-day Colombia) and took command of military forces. In May 1814, he captured the capital, Bogotá. Bolívar believed that South America should have a parliamentary government modeled after England but with a president for life. By 1821, Bolívar had successfully liberated Venezuela, Ecuador, and New Granada and found the Republic of Gran

Spanish conquistadors arrived in modern-day Colombia in search of El Dorado, a mythical city of gold. The colonization of of the country began in 1510 and continued throughout the early 16th century. The independent state of Gran Colombia, modern-day Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, was established in 1819 after Simon Bolivar, a Venezuelan military leader, won the Battle of Boyaca. In 1863, following a two-year civil war, the Republic of Colombia was established. Tensions from this civil war remained in Colombia and contributed to a long history of internal struggle.
During the War of 1812 he fought the Creek Indians. He won more than 20 million acres of land in what is now Georgia and Alabama. Andrew Jackson later became a Major General in the US Army. In November 1814 he won a battle in Pensacola against the Spaniards. The general followed British troops to New Orleans where he beat England even though the odds were stacked against him.
It had no precious metals, had a harsh climate, and was difficult to access. It was not until the Spanish began to gradually expand in the region that things began to change. When the cacao boom began, it stimulated immigration from Spain and the Canary Islands, as well as having African slaves begin imported. The introduction of new peoples to the region also harmed the indigenous population already living in the area, due to diseases and resistance. In 1810 when Caracas ruled with their new cabildo, or administrative council, a year later declared independence but was dominated by the creole elite of Caracas. This created tension between classes, leading to a civil war and Bolivar retreating to Jamaica in 1814. When Bolivar returned in 1816, he won independence with Paez and Venezuela became part of Gran Colombia. In 1830 though, against the wishes of an ailing Bolivar, Paez parted ways with Gran Colombia and established Venezuela’s independence. The long fight for independence was a long and devastating road for the country. It claimed about a quarter of their population during war and their once booming cacao industry was now
Simon Bolivar was born July 24th, 1783 in Caracas, Venezuela. His family consisted of a slew of wealthy Creoles, or those born in America but of European decent. However, early on in his life he was faced with tragedy when first, his father died when he was three and then his mother soon followed as he neared the age of only six. Although his parents’ deaths seemed untimely and tragic but, because of the wealth of the family, Bolivar had great access to two very important tutors who would mold his later ideals of independence.

Sir Isaac Newton is one of the most important scientists in history with Albert Einstein, Aristotle, and Galileo. He was born in Woolsthorpe, England on January 4, 1643 and died March 31, 1727 in London, England. During his lifetime Newton discovered and invented many things, while also studying lots of classic philosophers and astronomers. Newton’s wide range of discoveries formed the basis for modern physics. Not only did he give us the three laws of motion, but he also gave us the origins of color and calculus. These discoveries play big roles in our world today.
