BOLIVAR?
Simon Bolivar in his car- liest days was spoken of as the Napoleon of South America, no find a soldier was he, and so de- elsive the victories that he gained.
Born in the Spanish colony. of New Granada in 1783, and educated at Madrid, Bolivar soon dedicated himself to the Lask of freeing the colonists from the yoke, of the Mother Country. His porty issued Declaration of Independance In 1811, and a long conflict en- sued until 1819 when Bolivar was given the chief command, whereupon. he fought two de- cisive battles and proclaimed the "Republle of Columbia." Hostilities were finally conclud- ed two years later by a further victory at Carabobo. The con- stitution of Columbin was then adopted, with Bolivar As the first president.
The great liberator than turned his attention to Peru, which he freed from Spain in 1824, and to Bolivia, freed in 1825, both of which coun- tries Bolivar was chosen dita- for.
His later days were marred by a good deal of suspicion and jealousy on the part of fellow republicans, but in the and he was referred to no longer as the ' Napoleon, but ne the Washing-- Lon of his people-a man who had devoted his life to their Uberation
