Simon bolivar and latin america revolution

Simon Bolivar was a Venezuelan general who eventually freed most of South America  from the Spaniards, a "George Washington of South America" if you will. He was born into a rich family and at a young age received the entire fortune due to the early death of his parents. With his wealth he helped fund and even fight with a group of patriots attempting to free Venezuela. They soon freed Caracas  from the Spaniards. At one time he went to the British in search of aid but only found neutrality. When he returned the Spaniards attacked and forced his troops back into New Granada(Columbia), who was also at war with the spaniards. The two forces allied and attempted another attack but this was forced to retreat into Jamaica. After that started the string of victories freeing the territories of Ecuador, Columbia, Panama, and Venezuela. The capture of these key areas caused the Spaniards to become weak and essentially useless in South America. In the end he also captured Peru which was then cut in half and became Peru and Bolivia in honor of Bolivar. Bolivar, after capturing all these areas, created a The Original Republic of Columbia also becoming it's first president.
