History
[edit] Simón Bolivar was born in Caracas, now 
Venezuela, in July 24th, 1783. He was born to a rich Criollo family, and was sent to study at 
Madrid at 16. He would return to Venezuela after marrying, but after his wife's death in 1803, he would return to Europe, this time to 
France. There, he re-encountered with his teacher, Simón Rodríguez, who gives Bolivar ideas about liberating Venezuela from the Spanish Empire. In France, he would presence the coronation of 
Napoleon Bonaparte, and found about the 
Enlightenment, which further influenced him to liberate South America from the Spanish Empire, this is expressed in the Oath of the Sacred Mountain.
In 1807, taking advantage of the fact that Spain was invaded by Napoleonic France and was fighting for it's independence, Bolivar returns to Venezuela. In 1808, he starts his political activity, joining the Patriotic Society of Caracas. In 1810, the General Captaincy of Venezuela was deposed due to Spain being a Napoleonic puppet state, while the Venezuelan people were loyal to the Spanish Monarchy. In 1811, Venezuela declares it's independence from Spain, however this doesn't last long, as Spain invades Venezuela back, adding a earthquake which affected Caracas heavily. W.I.P
Beliefs
[edit]Bolivar was a follower of 
Classical Liberalism. Bolivar believed in 
Republicanism, as he wanted to create a 
centralized 
federation of 
Latin American republics that was governed by a strong executive and a 
British-inspired constitution. Despite this, Bolivar, many times, showed his favor towards authoritarianism. Bolivar was a self-proclaimed 
abolitionist, promising to abolish 
slavery in 
Latin America. He also called for land distribution to 
Indigenous peoples.
