Explanation:
Simon Bolivar was the most influential and famous among the leaders of the war for the independence of the Spanish colonies in America. He is the national hero of Venezuela. He began his military activity in 1810, being already quite a mature man. Bolivar joined Francisco de Miranda, who rebelled against the Spaniards, and soon became one of the most respected leaders of the rebels. Among the other leaders of the rebels, he stood out for his education and knowledge of military art. On July 5, 1811, rebels proclaimed Venezuela an independent republic. After the defeat of the republic by Spanish troops in 1812, Bolivar settled in New Granada (now Colombia), and at the beginning of 1813 the rebel army led by him entered the territory of Venezuela. In August 1813, his troops occupied the capital of Caracas and soon the Second Venezuelan Republic was created, headed by Bolivar. Venezuelan National Congress awarded Simon Bolivar the title of Liberator.
