Simon Bolivar

Simon Jose Antonio de la Santisima Trinidad Bolivar y Palacios (born July 24, 1783 in Caracas, Captaincy General of Venezuela – died December 17, 1830, in Santa Marta, Colombia) was a leader of several independence movements throughout South America, collectively known as Bolivar's War.

Bolivar is credited with leading the fight for independence in what are now the countries of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia, using sometimes-brutal guerrilla warfare tactics as outlined in his Decree of war to the death. He is revered as a hero in these countries and throughout much of the rest of Hispanic America.

In 1802, he married Maria Teresa Rodriguez del Toro y Alaysa. She died of yellow fever less than a year later and he never remarried.

Together with Jose de San Martin, Bolivar is regarded as one of the Liberators of Spanish South America.

Family heritage and early life

The Bolivar aristocratic bloodline derives from a small village in the Basque Country, called Bolibar, which is the origin of the surname.http://www.guiabizkaia.com/museos/Bolibar/Index.html His father descended remotely from King Fernando III of Castile and Count Amedeo IV of Savoy, and was provenient in male line of the family de Ardanza.http://genealogia.netopia.pt/pessoas/pes_show.php?id! 276543 The Bolivars settled in Venezuela in the sixteenth century.

A portion of their wealth came from the Aroa River gold and copper mines in Venezuela. In 1632, gold was first mined, leading to further discoveries of extensive copper deposits. Towards the later 1600s, copper was exploited with the name "Cobre Caracas". These mines became the property of Simon Bolivar's family. Later in his revolutionary life, Bolivar used part of the mineral income to finance the South American revolutionary wars. Some people claim that his family grew to prominence before gaining great wealth. For example, the Cathedral of Caracas, founded in 1575, has a side chapel dedicated to Simon Bolivar's family.

Bolivar was born in Caracas, in modern-day Venezuela and educated by tutors after his parents died. Among his tutors were Simon Rodriguez, whose ideas and educational style heavily influenced the young man and Andres Bello, the Venezuelan poet, lawmaker, philologist and diplomat.

Following the death of his father Juan Vicente de Bolivar y Ponte, 1st Marques de San Luis, and his mother Maria de la Concepcion de Palacios y Blanco, he went to Spain in 1799 to complete his education. There he married Maria Teresa Rodriguez del Toro y Alaysa in 1802, but on a brief return visit to Venezuela in 1803, she succumbed to yellow fever. Bolivar returned to Europe in 1804 and for a time was part of Napoleon's retinue.

El Libertador

Bolivar returned to Venezuela in 1807, and, when Napoleon made Joseph Bonaparte King of Spain and its colonies in 1808, he participated in the resistance juntas in South America. The Caracas junta declared its independence in 1810, and Bolivar was sent to Britain on a diplomatic mission.

Bolivar returned to Venezuela in 1811. In March 1812, Bolivar was forced to leave Venezuela because of an earthquake that destroyed Caracas. In July 1812, junta leader Francisco de Miranda surrendered to the Spanish, and Bolivar had to flee to Cartagena de Indias. It was during this period that Bolivar wrote his Manifiesto de Cartagena. In 1813, after acquiring a military command in New Granada under the direction of the Congress of Tunja, he led the invasion of Venezuela on May 14. This was the beginning of the famous Campana Admirable, the Admirable Campaign. He entered Merida on May 23, where he was proclaimed as El Libertador, following the occupation of Trujillo on June 9. Six days later, on June 15, he dictated his famous Decree of War to the Death (Decreto de Guerra a Muerte). Caracas was retaken on August 6, 1813, and Bolivar was ratified as "El Libertador", thus proclaiming the Venezuelan Second Republic. Due to the rebellion of Jose Tomas Boves in 1814 and the fall of the republic, he returned to New Granada, where he then commanded a Colombian nationalist force and entered Bogota in 1814, recapturing the city from the dissenting republican forces of Cundinamarca. He intended to march into Cartagena and enlist the aid of local forces in order to capture Royalist Santa Marta. However, after a number of political and military disputes with the government of Cartagena, Bolivar fled, in 1815, to Jamaica, where he petitioned the Haitian leader Alexandre Petion for aid.

In 1817, with Haitian help (given because he promised to free slaves), Bolivar landed in Venezuela and captured Angostura (now Ciudad Bolivar).

A victory at the Battle of Boyaca in 1819 added New Granada to the territories free from Spanish control, and in September 7, 1821 the Gran Colombia (a federation covering much of modern Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Ecuador) was created, with Bolivar as president and Francisco de Paula Santander as vice president.

Further victories at the Carabobo in 1821 and Pichincha in 1822 consolidated his rule over Venezuela and Ecuador respectively. After a meeting in Guayaquil, on July 26 and July 27, 1822, with Argentine General Jose de San Martin, who had received the title of Protector of Peruvian Freedom, in August 1821, after having partially liberated Peru from the Spanish, Bolivar took over the task of fully liberating Peru. The Peruvian congress named him dictator of Peru, on February 10 1824, which allowed Bolivar to completely reorganize the political and military administration. Bolivar, assisted by Antonio Jose de Sucre, decisively defeated the Spanish cavalry, on August 6, 1824, at Junin. Sucre destroyed the still numerically superior remnants of the Spanish forces at Ayacucho on December 9.

On August 6, 1825, at the Congress of Upper Peru, the Republic of Bolivia was created. Bolivar is thus one of the few men to have a country named after him. The constitution reflected the influence of the French and Scottish Enlightenment on Bolivar's political thought, as well as that of classical Greek and Roman authors.

Bolivar had great difficulties maintaining control of the vast Gran Colombia. During 1826, internal divisions had sparked dissent throughout the nation and regional uprisings erupted in Venezuela, thus the fragile South American coalition appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

An amnesty was declared and an arrangement was reached with the Venezuelan rebels, but political dissent in New Granada grew as a consequence of this. In an attempt to keep the federation together as a single entity, Bolivar called for a constitutional convention at Ocana during April 1828.

He had seen his dream of eventually creating an American Revolution-style federation between all the newly independent republics, with a government ideally set-up solely to recognize and uphold individual rights, succumb to the pressures of particular interests throughout the region, which rejected that model and allegedly had little or no allegiance to liberal principles.

For this reason, and to prevent a break-up, Bolivar wanted to implement in Gran Colombia a more centralist model of government, including some or all of the elements of the Bolivian constitution he had written (which included a lifetime presidency with the ability to select a successor, though this was theoretically held in check by an intricate system of balances).

This move was considered controversial and was one of the reasons why the deliberations met with strong opposition. The convention almost ended up drafting a document which would have implemented a radically federalist form of government, which would have greatly reduced the powers of the central administration.

Unhappy with what would be the ensuing result, Bolivar's delegates left the convention. After the failure of the convention due to grave political differences, Bolivar proclaimed himself dictator on August 27 1828 through the "Organic Decree of Dictatorship".

He considered this as a temporary measure, as a means to reestablish his authority and save the republic, though it increased dissatisfaction and anger among his political opponents. An assassination attempt on September 25, 1828 failed, in part thanks to the help of his lover, Manuela Saenz, according to popular belief.

Although Bolivar emerged physically intact from the event, this nevertheless greatly affected him. Dissident feelings continued, and uprisings occurred in New Granada, Venezuela and Ecuador during the next two years.

Death and Legacy

Bolivar finally resigned his presidency on April 27, 1830, intending to leave the country for exile in Europe, possibly in France. He had already sent several crates (containing his belongings and his writings) ahead of him to Europe.

He died before setting sail, after a painful battle with tuberculosis on December 17, 1830, in "La Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino", in Santa Marta, Colombia.

His remains were moved from Santa Marta to Caracas in 1842, where a monument was set up for his burial. The 'Quinta' near Santa Marta has been preserved as a museum with numerous references to his life.Simon Bolivar entry on Find a Grave.com

Relatives

Simon Bolivar has no direct descendants. His bloodline lives on through his sister Juana Bolivar y Palacios who married their maternal uncle Dionisio Palacios y Blanco and had two children: Guillermo and Benigna.

Guillermo died when fighting alongside his uncle in the battle of La Hogaza in 1817. Benigna Palacios y Bolivar married Pedro Amestoy. Their great-grandchildren, Pedro (95), and Eduardo Mendoza Goiticoa (90) live in Caracas. They are Simon Bolivar's closest living relatives.Simon Bolivar.org, Familia
