Simon Bolivar helped a lot of countries gain their independence. And to gain the rights that they diserved. Simon Bolivar thought that Venezuela deserved their liberty. He even wrote his famous Cartagena Manifesto in which he argued that New Granada should help liberate Venezuela. Simon Bolivar had assistence from New Granada and in 1813 he invaded Venezuela. He freed Venezuela and was proclaimed "LIBERTADOR" by the people. It took him about 10 years to be able to accomplish this goal. He gave Ecuador, Peru, Haiti, Colombia, Panama, Venezuela, and Bolivia their independence.
Simon Bolivar is so famous because if it wasnt for him most of these countries wouldnt even be considered countries they would just be a piece of land. Probably owned by someone of just left alone. He gave these countries their independence and fought for their rights. Thats why he was proclaimed "LIBERTADOR" meaning the person who gave them their liberty.
The reason why they namesd a country after Simon Bolivar was because he gave the country their independence and their liberty. He fought for what he thought was correct . His army won a victory over the spaniards at auacucho in 1824 which needed Spanish power in South America. Upper Peru became a separate state named Bolivia in Bolivars honor in 1825. The constitution, which he drew up for Bolivia, is one of his most important political pronouncements.
Simon Bolivar helped defeat the Spanish army at Carabobo in Venezuela on JUne 24, 1821. The reason why he helped crush them its because they had power over all the countries that he was trying to help. And try to give their liberty and independence too.
