Outstanding leaders of the Latin American anti Spanish revolutions were Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin. These leaders with many followers had an opportunity to create democratic governments out of the former Spanish colonies.

This was possible in that in early part of the 19th century as Spain was preoccupied with the Napoleonic Wars in Europe.

Spain later was concerned with regaining its lost colonial empire in South America.

Men like Bolivar, wanted democratic nations, and repulsed Spain's attempts. Bolivar was one of many heroes of Latin Americans seeking freedom and democratic nations.
