By 1820, royalist Peru was an isolated outpost of Spanish influence. San Martin liberated Chile and Argentina to the south while Simon Bolivar and Antonio Jose de Sucre liberated Ecuador Colombia, and Venezuela to the north leaving only Peru and present-day Bolivia under Spanish control.
Simon Bolivar wrote two of his political treatises. The Manifesto de Cartagena Declaration of Cartagena and Carta de Jamaica Letters from Jamaica told the people of South America that Spain urged them to rebel against their colonial rule. Simon Bolivar is a Creole who grew up in a wealthy family. Bolivar devoted his time and effort to fight for Venezuela's independence from Spain. Bolivar was inspired by the Enlightenment ideas of John Locke.
