Answer 1

Simon Bolivar was born in Caracas, Venezuela in 1783. He was born of a rich family but lost both of his parents by the age of nine. His uncle sent him to under a tutor named Simon Rodriquez. He received a good education and travel much. He was married in 1802 but his wife died in 1803 of yellow fever. He never married again.
In 1808, Napoleon installed his brother, Joseph, as King of Spain. The Spanish colonies of South America wanted to not only remove the King but also his monarchical rule.
From 1814 until 1819, Bolivar wrote and fought against the Government until Venezuela was free.
In his later years he fought in Peru and other South American countries for their freedom. They gained freedom but he was disappointed they did not unite into one country. like the U.S.
The country Bolivia was named after him.
He died a hero in 1830.
