Simon Bolivar DBQ- Pg 55A
Today we’re going to be
talking about Simon Bolivar,
who was a military and
political figure that played a
leading role in Latin
America’s struggle for
independence. During his
lifetime he led Venezuela,
Colombia, Panama,
Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia to
independence from the
Spanish Empire.
Through the idea of PanAmericanism, he hoped to
unite those countries into a
single nation similar to the
United States. Though he
ultimately failed at this, he
is remembered as often
remembered fondly as the
George Washington of
Latin America. Today, we
seek to take a more indepth look at this
fascinating man, and ask
the question “What kind of
leader was Simon Bolivar?”
