Simon Bolivar and the Latin American Revolutions
Simon Bolivar was a hero for accomplishing what he has done. Simon Bolivar was born on July 24, 1783. He was known as a hero in the countries of northern South America. He was known as a hero because helped gain the independence of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia (which was the reason why Bolivia is named Bolivia, its named after Simon Bolivar). He was a leader of military forces, he led them to victory. Others talked about fighting against the Spanish to regain independence but they just talked trash unlike Simon because he did exactly what he promised. The majority of South America was conquered by Spain. Simon came back to Venezuela from a trip and he was adviced that he should start to lead the army.When they won they all thanked Simon Bolivar not just Venezuela but other Latin American countries aswell. How ever Bolivia was the most thankful so now their country name is Bolivia dedicated to Simon Bolivar.
