Bolivar's strive to liberate Latin America
Bolivar helped bring independence to Bolivia, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The main reason that all these countries wanted to be free was because they were tired of listening to the Spaniards. Bolivar attacked New Granada which is said to be one of the most daring attacks in military history. In the Battle of Boyaca Bolivar caught the Spaniards off guard and was able to have the Spaniards surrender. Bolivar was able to win the battle in Peru even though the Spanish army's position was described as unable to be attacked.
