Simon Bolivar – the man who forged the independence of a continent and dreamed of its unity. A Caracas-born aristocrat, he swore in Rome to free his homeland from Spanish rule. He led the most daring military campaign in the Americas, crossing the Andes and liberating six future nations in legendary battles. His vision went beyond war: he founded the Republic of Gran Colombia and aimed to unite the peoples of Latin America against the power of the US. Although his dream of unity was ultimately shattered by internal division, his legacy of freedom endures. He died in exile—poor and betrayed but transformed into a symbol of emancipation and the struggle for continental sovereignty.
