Who was the leader to bring independence Panama Columbia Bolivia Ecuador Peru and Venezuela?
The military and political career of Simón Bolívar, (July 24, 1783 - December 17, 1830), which included both formal service in the armies of various revolutionary regimes and actions organized by himself or in collaboration with other exiled patriot leaders during the years from 1811 to 1830, was an important element in the success of the independence wars in South America. Given the unstable political climate during these years, Bolívar and other patriot leaders, such as Santiago Mariño, Manuel Piar, José Francisco Bermúdez and Francisco de Paula Santander often had to go into exile in the Caribbean or nearby areas of Spanish America that at the moment were controlled by those favoring independence, and from there, carry on the struggle. These wars resulted in the creation of several South American states out of the former Spanish colonies, the currently existing Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, and the now defunct Gran Colombia.
In his twenty-year career, Bolívar faced two main challenges. First was gaining acceptance as undisputed leader of the republican cause. Despite claiming such a role since 1813, he began to achieve this only in 1817, and consolidated his hold on power after his dramatic and unexpected victory in New Granada in 1819. His second challenge was implementing a vision of a unifying the region into one large state, which he believed (and most would agree, correctly) would be the only guarantee of maintaining American independence from the Spanish in northern South America. His early experiences under the First Venezuelan Republic and in New Granada convinced him that divisions among republicans, augmented by federal forms of government, only allowed Spanish American royalists to eventually gain the upper hand. Once again, it was his victory in 1819 that gave him the leverage to bring about the creation of a unified state, Gran Colombia, with which to oppose the Spanish Monarchy on the continent.

Bolivia is a disaster area of the third world! The city streets are a disgrace.
Extremely poor sanitary conditions in populous areas. Poor quality buildings
that are way overpriced with antiquated sewers, water supply services.
Poor electrical services not maintained, and a danger to the public.80-90% of all
vehicles are used and filthy and damaged. No one respects traffic rules. Markets
are a breeding ground for any number of bacteria and health issues. Restaurants
with the exception of a very few are sanitary. The food is the worst of all countries
ever visited. The cost of living is more than high. Wages are below poverty levels.
Buses are antiquated and inner city mini buses are falling apart at the seems and
are jammed packed with people as if they were a sardine. Courtesy is hard to find.
Corruption exists at any level. Lawyers and doctors are equally corrupt.
The general environment is non comforting to most anyone. When speaking
of inner city areas this is about the worst place on the planet yet seen.
Water is polluted, energy as in electric energy is not clean energy.
A simple road takes three years to construct! Buildings are held together by
tree poles during cement drying. Most brick work is hollow brick. The air is not
clean here. Virtually ever car or vehicle has no catalytic converter.
People have poor education and believe they receive good education.
Many purchased products do not live up to fair expectation. There is virtually
no decent movie house or decent theater here. Trash removal is a joke and
you will find it in any square inch of the main city of Santa Cruz.
It hardly ever rains and sand as in dust is everywhere, and that means in your
breathing air, food and water. Keep your area clean one day and be lucky it remains that way for 24 hours.
Taxis have no air-conditioning, maybe one in every two hundred. Take a bus and
get of sweaty or without your wallet or phone, very common.
What could be said as good ? Not much! About the only thing that gives enjoyment is women are pretty, but hard to trust. The name of the game here
is $.
is this country crazy, poor, or destitute, you decide. Only the wild country may
be said to be good, pretty, and delightful to one self.
The rest is not recommended.
