Simon Bolivar and Latin American Revolutions

Simon Bolivar accomplished great things for South America that would forever change the way the government was treating people and bring independence to many countries. Simon started his legacy when he started to look at the ideas that came from all the great philosophers such as Rousseau and Locke but at the same time looked at Napoleon's tactics in military. He soon became amazing at controlling and organizing a military similar to Napoleon and the mind of a revolutionary thinker. He created military forces and slowly started his revolt against the Spanish rule with surprise attacks. Simon was influenced greatly by all the countries around the world that won their independence already and sometimes even gained followers while traveling through these countries.
Simon quickly became very famous after many tries of invading the northern portion of South America and was being crowned the leader of the independence movement. Finally June 24, 1821, Venezuela was freed from Spanish rule and Simon became president. After this day, he started independence movement on the rest of South America. As time went on, Simon gained much more power and had seven times the army size he had before. Simon soon had independence over Columbia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia (named after himself). A country was named after Simon for the amazing work and accomplished he done for Spain and his amazing influences.
