Simón Bolívar, born Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar, was a prominent Venezuelan military and political leader who played a pivotal role in the liberation of several South American countries from Spanish colonial rule. Bolívar's full name, a reflection of the Spanish naming tradition, encompassed multiple middle names, highlighting his family's social status. His leadership and vision helped Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Bolivia secure their independence from the Spanish Empire during the early 19th century. Bolívar was born into a wealthy, aristocratic family in Caracas, Venezuela. As was customary for the sons of affluent families at the time, he was sent abroad to receive his education. Initially, he traveled to Spain and later to France, where he encountered Enlightenment ideals that deeply influenced his political and philosophical beliefs. These ideas, particularly the notions of liberty and self-determination, fueled his desire to rid Latin America of Spanish control. Bolívar’s campaign for independence began in earnest in 1808, seizing the opportunity presented by the political instability in Spain caused by the Napoleonic Wars. This chaos allowed Bolívar and other revolutionaries to push forward their independence efforts.Zum Buch
