Simon Bolivar - Making a Difference in Latin America


He continued his studies in literary endeavors and also great interest into the liberation of South America away from the Spanish control.
             It was during this time that Bolivar ran across Simon Rodriguez, his early teenage mentor and teacher from Caracas. The two of them journeyed together to Italy to further study and assess the Spanish control over his hometown of Caracas. In 1805 Bolivar took an oath with Rodriguez that he would return to Caracas to lead the resistance against Spain following the appointment by Napoleon of Joseph Bonaparte as King of Spain. In January of 1807 Bolivar traveled throughout the United States down into Venezuela. He returned to his home and lived there as a wealthy youth who worked businesses and properties as a cover for his true mission, which was to learn the specifics and to form the plan to someday initiate the independence for Venezuela. .
             Bolivar was known not only as a diplomat but also a revolutionary, as there were many years of politics, fighting, and tension. He learned a great deal about gaining political independence from the United States and Britain. When the Declaration of Independence was formed in 1810, it appointed Bolivar as a representative of Britain in the "Junta". It was then in 1811 that Bolivar began his military service that would last until his death. From 1812 until 1825, Bolivar was a leader, commander, and visionary in years of wars and trades, negotiations and resistance that brought many countries out of the dictatorship and into independence of new countries and governments. Bolivar was bestowed with the unofficial title of "The Liberator" of countries now known as Venezuela, Columbia, Panama, and Ecuador in 1821. In 1825 he was credited with the independence of Peru and later that year the creation of the country known now as Bolivia. .
             Bolivar continued to work passionately and diligently for causes of his country's independence and greatness until his death on December 17, 1830.
