Simon Bolivar: Latin American Revolutions



For years Latin America were being treated unfairly by the Europeans. Only the men who were born in Spain were allowed to control the government. And that angered the creoles and lesser classes who were born in the country. Napoleans brother was controlling Spain at the time and the citizens felt that they shouldnt be loyal to a king who wasnt even Spanish. To stop this it took alot of work from the people and a man named Simon Bolivar. He is also know as liberator of South America. He won independence for Venezuela and helped Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Bolivia and Peru to win their independence. He started with research. Before he started fighting he became informed. He went to France and the United states and studied there research.
