Simon Bolivar went to Cartagena and joined forces with the colombian patriot, "Atonio Narino". When he returned he had alot of victories against the spanish. In August, 1813, he entered Caracas and was given the title of the liberator! In 1814 the Spanish recaptured Caracas and Simon escaped to Jamaica, when was over there he created a book called La Carta de Jamaica, which means "The Letter from Jamaica." Simon Bolivar led military forces and he never had more than a thousand men. The reason for this is to free the north part of south america from the spanish rule. This resulted in freedom for colombia, venezuela, peru, and ecuador.
The reason why Simon Bolivar was so famous and even had a country named after him, was because he had many victories and freed many countries and states from foreighn rule. Simon Bolivar helped South America fight the Spanish because they were making bad rules for them.
