Signature

Simón Bolívar was born in Caracas in the Captaincy General of Venezuela into a wealthy criollo family. Before he turned ten, he lost both parents and lived in several households. Bolívar was educated abroad and lived in Spain, as was common for men of upper-class families in his day. While living in Madrid from 1800 to 1802, he was introduced to Enlightenment philosophy and met his future wife María Teresa Rodríguez del Toro y Alaysa. After returning to Venezuela, in 1803 del Toro contracted yellow fever and died. From 1803 to 1805, Bolívar embarked on a grand tour that ended in Rome, where he swore to end the Spanish rule in the Americas. In 1807, Bolívar returned to Venezuela and proposed gaining Venezuelan independence to other wealthy creoles. When the Spanish authority in the Americas weakened due to Napoleon's Peninsular War, Bolívar became a zealous combatant and politician in the Spanish American wars of independence.

Bolívar began his military career in 1810 as a militia officer in the Venezuelan War of Independence, fighting Spanish and more native Royalist forces for the first and second Venezuelan republics and the United Provinces of New Granada. After Spanish forces subdued New Granada in 1815, Bolívar was forced into exile in the Republic of Haiti, led by Haitian revolutionary Alexandre Pétion. Bolívar befriended Pétion and, after promising to abolish slavery in South America, received military support from Haiti. Returning to Venezuela, he established a third republic in 1817 and then crossed the Andes in 1819 to liberate New Granada. Bolívar and his allies defeated the Spanish in New Granada in 1819, Venezuela and Panama in 1821, Ecuador in 1822, Peru in 1824, and Bolivia in 1825. Venezuela, New Granada, Ecuador, and Panama were merged into the Republic of Colombia (Gran Colombia), with Bolívar as president there and in Peru and Bolivia.

In his final years, Bolívar became increasingly disillusioned with the South American republics, and distanced from them because of his centralist ideology. He was successively removed from his offices until, after a failed assassination attempt, he resigned the presidency of Colombia and died of tuberculosis in 1830. He is regarded as a national and cultural icon throughout Latin America; the nations of Bolivia and Venezuela (as the Boliviarian Republic of Venezuela) and their currencies are named after him. His legacy is diverse and far-reaching within Latin America and beyond; he has been memorialized all over the world in the form of public art or street names and in popular culture.

Early life and family

Simón Bolívar was born on 24 July 1783 in Caracas, capital of the Captaincy General of Venezuela, the fourth and youngest child of Juan Vicente Bolívar y Ponte [es] and María de la Concepción Palacios y Blanco [es].[2] He was baptized as Simón José Antonio de la Santísma Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios on 30 July.[5] Simón was born into the Bolívar family, one of the wealthiest and most prestigious criollo families in the Spanish Americas.[6] The first Bolívar to emigrate to the Americas was Simón de Bolívar, a Basque nobleman and notary official who arrived in Santo Domingo in the mid-16th century.[7] In 1588–89, he joined the staff of Diego Osorio Villegas, Governor of Santo Domingo, when he was named Governor of the Venezuela Province and moved to Caracas.[8] There, Simón de Bolívar's descendants would also serve in the colonial bureaucracy and marry into rich Caracas families.[9] By the time Simón Bolívar was born, the Bolívars owned property throughout Venezuela.[10]

Simón Bolívar's childhood was described by British historian John Lynch as "at once privileged and deprived."[11] Juan Vicente died of tuberculosis on 19 January 1786,[12] and left María de la Concepción Palacios and her father, Feliciano Palacios y Sojo [es],[13] as legal guardians over the Bolívar children's inheritances.[14] Those children – María Antonia [es] (born 1777), Juana [es] (born 1779), Juan Vicente [es] (born 1781), and Simón[15] – were raised separately from each other and their mother, and, following colonial custom, by African house slaves;[16] Simón was raised by a slave named Hipólita [es] whom he viewed as both a motherly and fatherly figure.[17] On 6 July 1792,[18] María de la Concepción also died of tuberculosis.[19] Believing that his family would inherit the Bolívars' wealth,[20] Feliciano Palacios arranged marriages for María Antonia and Juana and,[21] before dying on 5 December 1793,[22] assigned custody of Juan Vicente and Simón to his sons, Juan Félix Palacios and Carlos Palacios y Blanco [es], respectively.[23]

Education and first journey to Europe: 1793–1802

As a child, Bolívar was notoriously unruly.[24] He came to loathe Carlos,[25] who had no interest in Bolívar other than his inheritance,[26] and neglected his studies.[20] Even before Bolívar's mother died, he spent two years under the tutelage of the Venezuelan lawyer Miguel José Sanz at the direction of the Real Audiencia of Caracas [es], the Spanish court of appeals in Caracas.[27] In 1793, Carlos Palacios enrolled Bolívar at a rudimentary primary school [es] run by Simón Rodríguez.[28] In June 1795, Bolívar fled his uncle's custody for the house of Maria Antonia and her husband.[29] The couple sought formal recognition of his change of residence,[30] but the Real Audiencia decided the matter in favor of Palacios, who sent Simón to live with Rodríguez.[31]

After two months there, Bolívar was moved at the direction of the Real Audiencia back to the Palacios family home.[32] Bolívar promised the Real Audiencia that he would focus on his education, and was subsequently taught full-time by Rodríguez and the Venezuelan intellectuals Andrés Bello and Francisco de Andújar [es].[33] In 1797, Rodríguez's connection to a pro-independence conspiracy forced him to go into exile,[34] and Bolívar was enrolled in an honorary militia force. When he was commissioned as an officer after a year,[35] his uncles Carlos and Esteban Palacios y Blanco [es] decided to send Bolívar to join the latter in Madrid.[36] There, Esteban was friends with Queen Maria Luisa's favorite, Manuel Mallo.[37]

On 19 January 1799, Bolívar boarded the Spanish warship San Ildefonso at the port of La Guaira,[38] bound for Cádiz.[39] The ship sailed first to Veracruz to load Mexican silver for transit to Spain.[40] The ship arrived on 2 February,[41] but was prevented from leaving for seven weeks by a British blockade of Havana.[42] The San Ildefonso docked in Santoña, on the northern coast of Spain, in May 1799.[43] A little over a week later,[44] Bolívar arrived in Madrid and joined Esteban,[45] who found Bolívar to be "very ignorant".[46] Esteban asked Gerónimo Enrique de Uztáriz y Tovar, a Caracas native and government official, to educate Bolívar.[47][48] Uztáriz accepted and Bolívar, who moved into his residence in February 1800,[49] was thoroughly educated.[50]

At the same time, Mallo fell out of the Queen's favor and Manuel Godoy, her previous favorite, returned to power.[51] As members of Mallo's faction at court, Esteban was arrested on pretense,[52] and Bolívar was banished from court following a public incident at the Puerta de Toledo over the wearing of diamonds without royal permission.[53] Bolívar also at this time met María Teresa Rodríguez del Toro y Alaysa, the daughter of another wealthy Caracas creole.[54] They were engaged in August 1800,[55] but were separated when the del Toros left Madrid for a summer home in Bilbao.[56] After Uztáriz left Madrid for a government assignment in Teruel in 1801,[55][57] Bolívar himself left for Bilbao and remained there when the del Toros returned to the capital in August 1801.[58] Early in 1802, Bolívar traveled to Paris while he awaited permission to return to Madrid, which was granted in April.[59]

Return to Venezuela and second journey to Europe: 1802–1805

Bolívar and del Toro, aged 18 and 21 respectively, were married in Madrid on 26 May 1802.[60] The couple boarded the San Ildefonso in A Coruña[61] on 15 June and sailed for La Guaira, where they arrived on 12 July,[55] and settled in Caracas. There, del Toro fell ill and died of yellow fever on 22 January 1803 and was buried in the Bolívar family crypt at Caracas Cathedral.[62] Bolívar was devastated by del Toro's death, and later told Louis Peru de Lacroix, one of his generals and biographers, that he swore to never remarry.[63] By July 1803,[64] Bolívar decided to leave Venezuela for Europe. He entrusted his estates to an agent and his brother and in October boarded a ship bound for Cádiz.[65]

Bolívar arrived in Spain in December 1803, then traveled to Madrid to console his father-in-law.[66] In March 1804,[67] Madrid ordered all non-residents in the city to leave to alleviate a bread shortage brought about by resumed hostilities with Britain.[68] Over April, Bolívar and Fernando Rodríguez del Toro [es], a childhood friend and relative of his wife, made their way to Paris and arrived in time for Napoleon to be proclaimed Emperor of the French on 18 May 1804.[69] They rented an apartment on the Rue Vivienne [fr] and met with other South Americans such as Carlos de Montúfar [es], Vicente Rocafuerte, and Simón Rodríguez, who joined Bolívar and del Toro in their apartment. While in Paris, Bolívar began a dalliance with the Countess Dervieu du Villars,[70] at whose salon he likely met the naturalists Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland, who had traveled through much of Spanish America from 1799 to 1804. Bolívar allegedly discussed Spanish American independence with them.[71]

I swear before you ... that I will not rest body or soul until I have broken the chains binding us to the will of Spanish might!

Simón Bolívar, 15 August 1805[72]

On 2 December 1804, Napoleon crowned himself Emperor in Notre Dame de Paris.[73] Though he remained awed by Napoleon, Bolívar was disgusted and,[74] in April 1805, left Paris with Rodríguez and del Toro on a Grand Tour to Italy.[75] Beginning in Lyon, they traveled to Chambéry, where the philosopher Rousseau had once resided, through the Savoy Alps, and then to Milan.[76] The trio arrived on 26 May 1805 and witnessed Napoleon's coronation as King of Italy.[77] From Milan, they traveled down the Po Valley to Venice, then to Florence, and then finally Rome,[78] where Bolívar met among others Pope Pius VII, the French writer Germaine de Staël, and Humboldt again.[79] Rome's sites and history excited Bolívar. On 18 August 1805, he, del Toro, and Rodríguez traveled to the Mons Sacer, where the plebs had seceded from Rome, Bolívar swore to end Spanish rule in the Americas.[80]

Political and military career

Main article: Military career of Simón Bolívar

By April 1806, Bolívar had returned to Paris and desired passage to Venezuela,[81] where Venezuelan revolutionary Francisco de Miranda had just attempted an invasion with American volunteers.[82] British control of the seas resulting from the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar, however, obliged Bolívar to board an American ship in Hamburg in October 1806. Bolívar arrived in Charleston, South Carolina, in January 1807,[83] and from there traveled to Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston.[84] After six months in the United States,[85] Bolívar returned to Philadelphia and sailed for Venezuela, where he arrived in June 1807. He began to meet with other creole elites to discuss independence from Spain.[86] Finding himself to be far more radical than the rest of Caracas high society,[87] however, Bolívar occupied himself with a property dispute with a neighbor, Antonio Nicolás Briceño [es].[88]

In 1807–08, Napoleon invaded the Iberian peninsula and replaced the rulers of Spain with his brother.[89] This news arrived in Venezuela in July 1808.[90] Napoleonic rule was rejected and Venezuelan creoles, though still loyal to Ferdinand VII of Spain, sought to form their own local government in place of the existing Spanish government.[91] On 24 November 1808, a group of creoles presented a petition demanding an independent government to Juan de Casas [es], the Captain-General of Venezuela, and were arrested.[92] Bolívar, who did not sign the petition, was not arrested but was warned to cease hosting or attending seditious meetings.[93] In May 1809, Casas was replaced by Vicente Emparán and his staff, which included Fernando Rodríguez del Toro. Emparán's government, while friendlier to the creoles and connected to some of the opposition leaders,[94] was also resisted by the creoles.[95]

By February 1810, French victories in Spain prompted the dissolution of the anti-French Spanish government in favor of a five-man regency council for Ferdinand VII.[96] This news, and two delegates that included Carlos de Montúfar, arrived in Venezuela on 17 April 1810.[97] Two days later, the creoles succeeded in deposing and then expelling Emparán,[98] and created the Supreme Junta of Caracas, independent from the Spanish regency but not Ferdinand VII.[99][100] Absent from Caracas for the coup,[101] the Bolívar brothers returned to the city and offered their services to the Supreme Junta as diplomats.[102] In May 1810, Juan Vicente was sent to the United States to buy weapons,[103] while Simón secured a place in a diplomatic mission to Great Britain with the lawyer Luis López Méndez [es] and Andrés Bello by paying for the mission. The trio boarded a British warship, HMS Wellington, in June 1810 and arrived at Portsmouth on 10 July 1810.[104]

The three delegates first met Miranda at his London residence, despite instructions from the Supreme Junta to avoid him, and thereafter received the benefit of his connections and consultation.[105] On 16 July 1810, the Venezuelan delegation met the British foreign secretary, Richard Wellesley, at his residence. Led by Bolívar, the Venezuelans argued in favor of Venezuelan independence. Wellesley stated that it was intolerable for Anglo-Spanish relations,[106] and moreover was using his talks with the Venezuelans to secure access to Spanish American markets for British merchants from the Spanish regency.[107] Subsequent meetings produced no recognition or concrete support from Britain.[108] Finding that he had many shared beliefs with Miranda, however, Bolívar convinced him to come back to Venezuela.[109] On 22 September 1810,[110] Bolívar left for Venezuela aboard HMS Sapphire while López and Bello remained in London as diplomats,[111] and arrived in La Guaira on 5 December.[112] Miranda, whose return to Venezuela the British government did not desire but could not prevent,[113] arrived in La Guaira later in December.[114][c]

Venezuela: 1811–1812

While Bolívar was in England, the Supreme Junta passed liberal economic reforms[120] and began to hold elections for representatives to a congress to be held in Caracas.[121] It had also alienated Caracas from the Venezuelan provinces of Coro, Maracaibo, and Guayana, which professed loyalty to the regency council,[122] and began hostilities with them.[123][124] Helping to create the Patriotic Society, Bolívar and Miranda campaigned for and secured the latter's election to the congress.[125] The congress first met on 2 March 1811 and declared its allegiance to Ferdinand VII.[126] After it was discovered that one of the men leading the congress was a Spanish agent who had escaped with military documents, however,[127] discourse – which Bolívar was prominent in – changed decidedly in favor of independence over 3 and 4 July.[128] Finally, on 5 July, the congress declared Venezuela's independence.[129]

The declaration of independence created a republic with a weak base of support and enemies in conservative whites, disenfranchised people of color, and already hostile Venezuelan provinces, which received troops and supplies from the Captaincy-Generals of Puerto Rico and Cuba.[130] On 13 July 1811, the republic raised militias to fight the pro-Spanish Royalists.[131] Francisco Rodríguez del Toro [es], the Marquis of Toro [es] was appointed to command the Republican forces,[132] which opened a breach between Bolívar and Miranda as Bolívar and del Toro were friends.[133] After he failed to suppress a Royalist uprising in the city of Valencia later in July,[134] Miranda replaced del Toro and recaptured Valencia [es] on 13 August.[135] As a condition of assuming command of the Republican forces, Miranda had Bolívar removed from his command of a militia unit.[136] Bolívar nonetheless fought in the Valencia campaign as part of del Toro's militia[137] and was selected by Miranda to bring news of its recapture to Caracas,[138] where he argued for more punitive and forceful campaigning against the Royalists.[139]

I left my house for the Cathedral ... and the earth began to shake with a huge roar. ... I saw the church of San Jacinto collapse on its own foundations. ... I climbed over the ruins and entered, and I immediately saw about forty persons dead or dying under the rubble. I climbed out again and I shall never forget that moment. On the top of the ruins I found Don Simón Bolívar ... He saw me and [said], "We will fight nature itself if it opposes us, and force it to obey."

Royalist historian José Domingo Díaz [es], quoted by John Lynch[140]

Beginning in November 1811, Royalist forces began pushing back the Republicans on from the north and east.[141] Then, on 26 March 1812, a powerful earthquake devastated Republican Venezuela; Caracas itself was almost totally destroyed.[142] Bolívar, who was still in the area of Caracas,[143] rushed into the city to participate in the rescue of survivors and exhumation of the dead.[144] The earthquake also destroyed public support for the republic, as it was believed to have been divine retribution for declaring independence from Spain.[145] By April, a Royalist army under the Spanish naval officer Juan Domingo de Monteverde overran western Venezuela. Miranda,[146] retreating east with a disintegrating army,[147] ordered Bolívar to assume command of the coastal city of Puerto Cabello and its fortress,[148] which contained Royalist prisoners and most of the republic's remaining arms and ammunition.[149]

Bolívar arrived at Puerto Cabello on 4 May 1812.[150] On 30 June, a Royalist officer of the fort's garrison released its prisoners, armed them, and turned its cannons on Puerto Cabello.[147][151] Weakened by further shelling, defections, and lack of supplies, Bolívar and his remaining troops fled for La Guaira on 6 July.[152] Believing the republic to be doomed,[147] Miranda decided to capitulate,[153] shocking Bolívar and other Republican officers.[154] After formally surrendering his command to Monteverde on 25 July,[155] Miranda made his way to La Guaira, where a group of conspirators including Bolívar arrested Miranda on 30 July on charges of treason.[156] La Guaira declared for the Royalists the next day and closed its port on Monteverde's orders.[157] Miranda was taken into Spanish custody and moved to a prison in Cádiz, where he died on 16 July 1816.[158]

New Granada and Venezuela: 1812–1815

Bolívar escaped La Guaira early on 31 July 1812 and rode to Caracas,[159] where he hid from arrest in the home of Esteban Fernández de León [es], the Marquis de Casa León [es]. Bolívar and Casa León convinced Francisco Iturbe, a friend of the Bolívar family and of Monteverde, to intercede on Bolívar's behalf and secure escape from Venezuela for him. Iturbe persuaded Monteverde to issue Bolívar a passport for his role in Miranda's arrest,[160] and on 27 August he sailed for Curaçao. He and his uncles Francisco and José Félix Ribas arrived on 1 September. Late in October, the exiles arranged for passage to the city of Cartagena in New Granada to offer their services to the United Provinces of New Granada.[161] They arrived in November and were welcomed by Manuel Rodríguez Torices, president of the Free State of Cartagena [es],[162] who instructed his commanding general, Pierre Labatut, to give Bolívar a military command. Labatut, a former partisan of Miranda, begrudgingly obliged and on 1 December 1812[163] placed Bolívar in command of the 70-man garrison of a town on the lower Magdalena River.[164]

While en route to his posting, Bolívar issued the Cartagena Manifesto, outlining what he believed to be the causes of the Venezuelan republic's defeat and his political program. In particular, Bolívar called for the disparate New Granadan republics to help him invade Venezuela to prevent a Royalist invasion of New Granada.[165] Bolívar arrived on the Magdalena River on 21 December and,[166] in spite of orders from Labatut to not act without his direction,[167] launched an offensive that secured control of the Magdalena River by 8 January 1813.[168] In February, he joined forces with Republican colonel Manuel del Castillo y Rada [es], who requested Bolívar's assistance with stopping a Royalist advance into New Granada from Venezuela, and captured the city of Cúcuta.[169]

In early March 1813, Bolívar set up his headquarters in Cúcuta and sent José Félix Ribas to request permission to invade Venezuela.[170] Though rewarded with honorary citizenship in New Granada and a promotion to the rank of brigadier general,[171] that permission did not come until 7 May because of del Castillo's opposition to the invasion. When a limited invasion was permitted, Castillo resigned his command and was succeeded by Francisco de Paula Santander.[172] On 14 May, Bolívar launched the Admirable Campaign,[173] in which he issued the Decree of War to the Death, ordering the death of all Spaniards in South America not actively aiding his forces.[174] Within six months, Bolívar pushed all the way to Caracas,[175] which he entered on 6 August,[176][177] and then drove Monteverde out of Venezuela in October.[178][179] Bolívar returned to Caracas on 14 October and was named "The Liberator" (El Libertador) by its town council,[180] a title first given to him by the citizens of the Venezuelan town of Mérida on 23 May.[181]

On 2 January 1814, Bolívar was made the dictator of a Second Republic of Venezuela,[182] which retained the weaknesses of the first republic.[183] Though all of Venezuela but Maracaibo, Coro, and Guayana was controlled by Republicans,[184][185] Bolívar only governed western Venezuela. The east was controlled by Santiago Mariño, a Venezuelan Republican who had fought Monteverde in the east throughout 1813[186][187] and was unwilling to recognize Bolívar.[188] Venezuela was economically devastated and could not support the republic's armies,[189] and people of color remained disenfranchised and thus unsupportive of the republic.[190] The republic was assailed from all sides by slave revolts and Royalist forces,[191] especially the Legion of Hell, an army of llaneros – the colored cowboys of the Llanos, to the south – led by the Spanish warlord José Tomás Boves.[192] Beginning in February 1814, Boves surged out of the Llanos and overwhelmed the republic, occupying Caracas on 16 July and then destroying Mariño's powerbase on 5 December at the Battle of Urica, where he died.[193][194]

As Boves approached Caracas, Bolívar ordered the city stripped of its gold and silver,[195] which was moved through La Guaira to Barcelona, Venezuela,[196] and from there to Cumaná.[197] Bolívar then led 20,000 of its citizens east.[195] He arrived in Barcelona on 2 August,[198] but following another Royalist victory [es] at Aragua de Barcelona on 17 August 1814, he moved to Cumaná.[199] On 26 August, he sailed with Mariño to Margarita Island with the treasure. The officer in control of the island, Manuel Piar, declared Bolívar and Mariño to be traitors and forced them to return to the mainland.[200] There, Ribas also accused Bolívar and Mariño of treachery, confiscated the treasure,[201] and then exiled the two on 8 September.[202] Bolívar arrived in Cartagena on 19 September and then met with the New Granadan congress in Tunja,[203] which tasked him with subduing the rival Free and Independent State of Cundinamarca.[204] On 12 December, Bolívar captured Cundinamarca's capital, Bogotá, and was given command of New Granada's armies in January 1815.[205] Bolívar next grappled with del Castillo, who had taken control of Cartagena.[206] Bolívar began a six-week siege of the city [es] that allowed the Royalists to regain control of the Magdalena.[207] On 8 May, Bolívar made a truce with del Castillo, resigned his command, and sailed for exile on Jamaica.[208] In July, 8,000 Spanish soldiers commanded by Spanish general Pablo Morillo landed at Santa Marta and then besieged Cartagena [es], which capitulated on 6 December; del Castillo was executed.[209][210]

Jamaica, Haiti, Venezuela, and New Granada: 1815–1819

 
1895 portrait of Bolívar by Arturo Michelena

Bolívar arrived in Kingston, Jamaica, on 14 May 1815 and,[211] like his earlier exile on Curaçao, ruminated on the fall of the Venezuelan and New Granadan republics. He wrote extensively, requesting assistance from Britain and corresponding with merchants based in the Caribbean. This culminated in September 1815 with the Letter from Jamaica, in which Bolívar again laid out his ideology and vision of the future of the Americas.[212] On 9 December, the Venezuelan pirate Renato Beluche brought Bolívar news from New Granada and asked him to join the Republican community in exile in Haiti.[213] Bolívar tentatively accepted and that night escaped assassination when his manservant mistakenly killed his paymaster as part of a Spanish plot.[214] He left Jamaica eight days later,[215] arrived in Les Cayes on 24 December,[216] and on 2 January 1816 was introduced to Alexandre Pétion, President of the Republic of Haiti by a mutual friend.[217] Bolívar and Pétion impressed and befriended each other and,[218] after Bolívar pledged to free every slave in the areas he occupied, Pétion gave him money and military supplies.[219][220]

Returning to Les Cayes, Bolívar held a conference with the Republican leaders in Haiti and was made supreme leader with Mariño as his chief of staff.[221] The Republicans departed Les Cayes for Venezuela on 31 March 1816 and followed the Antilles eastward.[222] After a delay to allow a lover of Bolívar's to join the fleet, it arrived on 2 May at Margarita Island, controlled by Republican commander Juan Bautista Arismendi.[223] Bolívar next moved to the mainland, where he declared the emancipation of all slaves and annulled of the Decree of War to the Death.[224][d] He took Carúpano on 31 May and sent Mariño and Piar into Guayana to build their own army,[227] and then Ocumare de la Costa on 6 July.[228] There, by 14 July, his forces were defeated and scattered by a Royalist force that then captured Ocumare and the Haitian supplies.[229][230] Bolívar fled by sea to Güiria where, on 22 August, he was deposed by Mariño and José Francisco Bermúdez,[231] who tried to kill Bolívar with a sword.[232]

Bolívar returned to Haiti by early September,[233] where Pétion again agreed to assist him.[234] In his absence, the Republican leaders scattered across Venezuela, concentrating in the Llanos, and became disunited warlords.[235] Unwilling to recognize Mariño's leadership, [236] Arismendi wrote to Bolívar and dispatched New Granadan Republican Francisco Antonio Zea to convince him to return. Bolívar and Zea set sail for Venezuela on 21 December with Luis Brión, a Dutch merchant,[237] and arrived ten days later at Barcelona. There, Bolívar announced his return and called for a congress for a new, third republic.[238] He wrote to the Republican leaders, especially José Antonio Páez, who controlled most of the western Llanos, to unite under his leadership.[239][240] On 8 January 1817, Bolívar marched towards Caracas but was turned back and then pursued to Barcelona by a larger Royalist force.[241] At Bolívar's request, Mariño arrived on 8 February with Bermúdez, who then reconciled with Bolívar, and forced a Royalist withdrawal.[242]

Even with their combined forces, however, Bolívar, Mariño, and Bermúdez could not hold Barcelona.[243] Instead, on 25 March 1817,[244] Bolívar began moving south to join Piar in Guayana, Piar's power base, and establish his own economic and political base there.[245][246] Bolívar met Piar on 4 April,[247] promoted him to the rank of general of the army, and then joined a force of Piar's troops besieging the city of Angostura (now Ciudad Bolívar) on 2 May.[248] Meanwhile, Mariño went east to reestablish his power base and on 8 May convened a congress of ten men, including Brión and Zea, that named Mariño as supreme commander of the Republican forces.[249] This backfired and provoked the defection of 30 officers, including Rafael Urdaneta and Antonio José de Sucre, to Bolívar.[250] On 30 June, Bolívar granted Piar leave of absence at his request,[251] and then issued an arrest warrant for Piar on 23 July after he began fomenting rebellion, alleging that Bolívar had dismissed him because of his African heritage. Piar was captured on 27 September as he fled to join Mariño was brought to Angostura, where he was executed by firing squad on 16 October.[252] Bolívar then sent Sucre to reconcile with Mariño,[253] who pledged loyalty to Bolívar on 26 January 1818.[254]

On 17 July 1817, Angostura fell [es] to Bolívar's forces, which then gained control of the Orinoco River in early August.[255][256] Angostura became the provisional Republican capital and in September,[257] Bolívar began creating formal political and military structures for the republic.[258][259] Bolívar then gained recognition as supreme leader from Páez, whom he met at San Juan de Payara on 30 January 1818.[260] In February 1818, the Republicans moved north and took Calabozo, where they defeated Morillo [es],[261] who had returned to Venezuela a year earlier after conquering Republican New Granada.[262] Bolívar next advanced towards Caracas and on 16 March was himself defeated [es],[263][264] and was almost assassinated by Spanish infiltrators in April. Illness and additional Republican defeats obliged Bolívar to return to Angostura in May. For the rest of the year, he focused on administrating the republic, rebuilding its armed forces,[265] and organizing elections for a national congress that would meet in 1819.[266][267]

The congress met in Angostura on 15 February 1819.[268] There, Bolívar gave a speech in which he presented his draft of a constitution [es] for a centralized government modeled on the British government, advocated for racial equality,[269] and relinquished civil authority to the congress.[270] On 16 February, the congress elected Bolívar as president and Zea as vice president.[267][271] On 27 February,[272] Bolívar left Angostura to rejoin Páez in the west and resumed campaigning [es], indecisively, against Morillo.[267][273] In May, as the annual wet season was beginning in the Llanos, Bolívar met with his officers and revealed his intention to invade New Granada,[274] which he had prepared for by sending Santander to build up Republican forces in Casanare Province in August 1818.[275][276] On 27 May,[277] Bolívar marched with more than 2,000 soldiers toward the Andes[278][279] and left Páez, Mariño, Urdaneta, and Bermúdez to tie down Morillo's forces in Venezuela.[280]

Bolívar entered Casanare Province with his army on 4 June 1819,[281] then met up with Santander at Tame, Arauca, on 11 June.[282] The combined Republican force reached the Eastern Range of the Andes on 22 June and began a grueling crossing.[283] On 6 July, the Republicans descended the Andes from the Páramo de Pisba [es] at Socha and into the plains of New Granada.[284] After a brief convalescence, the Republicans made rapid progress against the forces of Spanish colonel José María Barreiro Manjón [es] until, on 7 August, the Royalists were routed at the Battle of Boyacá. On 10 August, Bolívar entered Bogotá, which the Spanish officials had hastily abandoned,[285][286] and captured the viceregal treasury and armories.[287] After sending forces to secure Republican control of central New Granada,[288] Bolívar paraded through Bogotá on 18 September with Santander.[289]

Desiring to merge New Granada and Venezuela into a "greater republic of Colombia", Bolívar first established a provisional government in Bogotá with Santander,[290] and then left to resume campaigning against the Royalists in Venezuela on 20 September 1819.[291] En route, he learned that Santander had executed Barreiro and other Royalist prisoners on 11 October[292] and that Zea had been replaced as vice president in September 1819 by Arismendi, who was conspiring with Mariño against Urdaneta and Bermúdez. Bolívar arrived in Angostura on 11 December and, by being conciliatory, restored order.[293] He then proposed the merging of New Granada and Venezuela to the congress on 14 December,[294] which was approved. On 17 December, the congress issued a decree creating the Republic of Colombia, including the regions of Venezuela, New Granada, and the still Spanish-controlled Real Audiencia of Quito, and elected Bolívar and Zea president and vice president respectively.[295]

After Christmas Day, 1819,[296] Bolívar left Angostura to direct campaigns against Royalist forces along the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela and New Granada.[297] He met with Santander in Bogotá in March 1820, then rode to Cúcuta and inspected Republican forces in northern Colombia over April and May 1820.[298] Meanwhile, Morillo's military and political position was fatally undermined by the mutiny of Spanish soldiers in Cádiz on 1 January [es], which forced Ferdinand VII to accept a liberal constitution in March.[299][300] News of the mutiny and its consequences arrived in Colombia in March and was followed by orders from Spain to Morillo to publicize the constitution and negotiate a peace that would return Colombia to the Spanish Empire. Bolívar and Morillo, seeking to gain leverage over each other,[301] delayed talks until 21 November, when Colombian and Royalist delegates met in Trujillo, Venezuela.[302] The delegates completed two treaties [es] on 25 November, establishing a six-month truce, a prisoner exchange, and basic rights for combatants. Bolívar and Morillo signed the treaties on 25 and 26 November, then met the next day at Santa Ana de Trujillo [es].[303][304] After this meeting, Morillo turned his command over to Spanish general Miguel de la Torre and departed for Spain on 17 December.[305]

In February 1821, as Bolívar was traveling from Bogotá to Cúcuta in anticipation of the opening of a new congress there,[306] he learned that Royalist-controlled Maracaibo had defected to Colombia and been occupied by Urdaneta.[307][308] La Torre protested to Bolívar, who refused to return Maracaibo, leading to a renewal of hostilities on 28 April.[309] Over May and June, Colombia's armies made rapid progress until, on 24 June, Bolívar and Páez decisively defeated La Torre at the Battle of Carabobo.[310][311] All Royalist forces remaining in Venezuela were eliminated by August 1823.[312] Bolívar entered Caracas in triumph on 29 June,[313] and issued a decree on 16 July dividing Venezuela into three military zones governed by Páez, Bermúdez, and Mariño.[314] Bolívar then met with the Congress of Cúcuta,[315] which had ratified the formation of Gran Colombia and elected him as president and Santander as vice president in September. Bolívar accepted and was sworn in on 3 October, although he protested the establishment of a precedent of military leaders as head of the Colombian state.[316]

Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia: 1821–1826

After the Battle of Carabobo, Bolívar turned his attention south, to Pasto, Colombia; Quito and the Free Province of Guayaquil, Ecuador; and the Viceroyalty of Peru. Pasto and Quito were Royalist strongholds,[312][317] while Guayaquil had declared its independence on 9 October 1820[318] and had been garrisoned by Sucre on Bolívar's orders in January 1821.[319] Panama declared its independence on 28 November 1821 and joined Colombia.[320] Peru had been invaded by a Republican army led by Argentine general José de San Martín, who had liberated Chile and Peru,[321] and Bolívar feared San Martín would absorb Ecuador into Peru.[322] In October 1821, after congress empowered him to secure Ecuador for Colombia,[323] Bolívar assembled an army in Bogotá that departed on 13 December 1821.[324] His advance was halted by illness and a Pyrrhic victory [es] in southern Colombia on 7 April 1822.[325][326]

To the south, Sucre, who had been trapped in Guayaquil by Royalist advances from Quito,[327] now advanced, decisively defeated the Royalists at the Battle of Pichincha on 24 May 1822, and occupied Quito.[325][328] On 6 June, Pasto surrendered,[329] and ten days later Bolívar paraded through Quito with Sucre.[330] He also met the Ecuadorian Republican Manuela Sáenz, the wife of a British merchant, with whom he began a lasting affair.[331] From Quito, Bolívar traveled to Guayaquil in anticipation of a meeting with San Martín to discuss the city's status and rallied support for its annexation by Colombia.[332] By the time San Martín arrived in Guayaquil on 26 July,[333] Bolívar had already secured Guayaquil for Colombia,[334] and the two-day Guayaquil Conference produced little. Ill, politically isolated, and disillusioned, San Martín subsequently resigned from his offices and went into exile.[335][336]

Over the rest of 1822, Bolívar traveled around Ecuador to complete its annexation while dispatching officers to suppress repeated rebellions in Pasto and resisting calls to return to Bogotá or Venezuela.[337] Meanwhile, Royalist forces under general José de Canterac overwhelmed the Peruvian republic [es] and briefly took Lima, Peru's capital, in June 1823.[338][339] After initially refusing Colombian assistance,[340] the Peruvian congress asked Bolívar several times in 1823 to assume command of their forces. Bolívar responded by sending an army under Sucre to assist, and requested permission from the Colombian congress to lead troops into Peru himself.[341] On 3 August, Bolívar received that permission and set sail for Lima,[342] where he arrived to much fanfare on 1 September.[343] When Bolívar arrived, Peru was split between four Republican armies and two rival presidents, José de la Riva Agüero and José Bernardo de Tagle; the Royalists, based out of the region of Upper Peru; and Bolívar, whom the Peruvian congress invested with supreme military authority.[344][345]

In November 1823, a faction of officers serving Riva Agüero, who plotted with the Royalists against Bolívar, mutinied and handed him to Bolívar, who exiled Riva Agüero from Peru.[346] Bolívar next struggled to build an army in Peru with few resources, and without support from Colombia or its allies.[345][347] On 1 January 1824, Bolívar collapsed with a fever and was bedridden for two months.[348] Meanwhile, Tagle and the garrison of the city of Callao defected to the Royalists, who then took Lima.[349] In response, the Peruvian congress named Bolívar dictator of Peru on 10 February 1824. Bolívar moved to northern Peru in March and began assembling an army,[345][350] for which he increasingly demanded additional men and money from Santander, straining their relationship.[351] In May 1824, after learning of a rebellion [es] against the Viceroy, José de la Serna, by conservative Royalist Pedro Antonio Olañeta, Bolívar began advancing in Peru,[352] and defeated Canterac at the Battle of Junín on 6 August.[353][354]

Choosing to ignore Olañeta, La Serna ordered his forces to concentrate at Cuzco to face Bolívar.[354][355] Heavy rainfall in September halted Bolívar's advance,[356] and on 6 October he gave command of the army to Sucre and moved to Huancayo to manage political affairs. On 24 October, Bolívar received a letter from Santander informing him that the Colombian congress had stripped him of his military and civil authority in favor of Sucre and Santander, respectively.[357] Although indignant and resentful of Santander, Bolívar wrote to him on 10 November to communicate his acquiescence[358] and reoccupied Lima on 5 December 1824.[359] On 9 December, Sucre decisively defeated La Serna's Royalists at the Battle of Ayacucho and accepted the surrender [es] of all Royalist forces in Peru. The garrison of Callao and Olañeta ignored the surrender. Shortly after arriving in Lima, Bolívar began a siege of Callao that lasted until January 1826,[360][361] and sent Sucre into Upper Peru to eliminate Olañeta, which he accomplished in April 1825.[362]

In early 1825, Bolívar resigned from his offices in Colombia and Peru, but neither nation's congress accepted his resignation; on 10 February 1825, the Peruvian congress extended his dictatorship for another year. Accepting the extension,[363] Bolívar settled into governing Peru and passing reforms that were largely not carried out, such as a school system based on the principles of English educator Joseph Lancaster that was managed by Simón Rodríguez.[364] In April 1825, Bolívar began a tour of southern Peru that took him to the cities of Arequipa and Cuzco by August. As Bolívar approached Upper Peru, a congress gathered in the city of Chuquisaca (now Sucre); on 6 August, it declared the region to be the nation of Bolivia, named Bolívar President, and asked him to write a constitution for Bolivia. He accepted these appointments.[365] Bolívar arrived in Potosí on 5 October and met with two Argentine agents, Carlos María de Alvear and José Miguel Díaz Vélez, who tried without success to convince him to intervene in the Cisplatine War against the Empire of Brazil.[366]

From Potosí, Bolívar traveled to Chuquisaca and appointed Sucre to govern Bolivia; he departed for Peru on 1 January 1826.[367] Bolívar arrived in Lima on 10 February and dispatched his draft of the Bolivian constitution to Sucre on 12 May.[368] That constitution [es] was ratified with modification by the Bolivian congress in July 1826.[369] Peru, whose elites chafed at Bolívar's rule and the presence of his soldiers, was also induced to accept a modified version [es] of Bolívar's constitution on 16 August.[370] In Venezuela, Páez revolted against Santander, and in Panama, a congress of American nations organized by Bolívar convened without his attendance and produced no change in the hemispheric status quo. On 3 September, responding to pleas for his return to Colombia, Bolívar departed Peru and left it under a governing council led by Bolivian general Andrés de Santa Cruz.[371]

Final years: 1826–1830

Bolívar arrived in Guayaquil on 13 September 1826 and heard complaints against Santander's governance from the people of Guayaquil and Quito, who declared him their dictator.[372] From Ecuador, he continued north and heard more complaints, promoted civil and military officers, and commuted prison sentences.[373] As he approached Bogotá, Bolívar was met by Santander, who hoped to persuade Bolívar to his cause in the conflict with Páez. Although Santander was annoyed at Bolívar for his desire to return to power and ratify a version of the Bolivian constitution in Colombia, they reconciled and agreed that Bolívar would resume the presidency of Colombia; congress had reelected them to a second four-year term beginning on 2 January 1827. Bolívar arrived in Bogotá on 14 November 1826 and found the city hostile to him for violations of Colombian law.[374]

On 25 November, Bolívar left Bogotá with an army supplied by Santander and arrived at Puerto Cabello on 31 December,[375] where he issued a general amnesty to Páez and his allies if they submitted to his authority. Páez accepted and in January 1827, Bolívar confirmed Páez's military authority in Venezuela and entered Caracas with him to much jubilation; for two months, Bolívar attended balls celebrating his return and the amnesty.[376] That amnesty, and clashes over Santander's handling of Colombia's finances, caused a break between Bolívar and Santander that became an open enmity in 1827.[377] In February 1827, Bolívar submitted his resignation from the Presidency of Colombia, which its congress rejected.[378] Meanwhile, the Colombian soldiers garrisoned in Lima mutinied, arrested their Venezuelan officers, and occupied Guayaquil until September 1827. Bolívar was deposed as President in Peru and his constitution was repealed.[379]

Bolívar departed Venezuela to return to Bogotá in July 1827. He arrived on 10 September with an army he had gathered at Cartagena and was again sworn in as President of Colombia, then secured the calling of a new congress to meet at the city of Ocaña in early 1828 to modify the Colombian constitution. The elections for this congress were held in November 1827 and, as Bolívar declined to campaign, were very favorable to his political opponents.[380] In January 1828, Bolívar was joined in Bogotá by Sáenz,[381] but on 16 March 1828 he left the capital after being informed of a Spanish-backed rebellion in Venezuela. As that revolt was crushed before he arrived, Bolívar turned his attention to the occupation of Cartagena by José Prudencio Padilla, a New Granadan admiral and Santander loyalist. Padilla's rebellion was also crushed before Bolívar arrived, however, and he was subsequently arrested and imprisoned in Bogotá. As the Convention of Ocaña opened on 9 April, Bolívar based himself at Bucaramanga to monitor its proceedings through his aides.[382]

The convention lasted until 11 June 1828, when Bolívar's allies staged a walkout that left Colombia without a constitution.[383] Two days later, Pedro Alcántara Herrán, a Bolívar loyalist and the governor of New Granada, called a meeting of the city's bourgeoisie that denounced the Convention of Ocaña and called on Bolívar to assume absolute power in Colombia. Bolívar accepted. He returned to Bogotá on 24 June and on 27 August assumed supreme power as the "president-liberator" of Colombia, abolished the office of the vice president, and assigned Santander to a diplomatic posting in Washington, D.C. On 25 September 1828, a group of young liberals that included Santander's secretary made an attempt to assassinate Bolívar and overthrow his government. The attempt was thwarted by Sáenz, who bought time for Bolívar to escape as the assassins entered the Palacio de San Carlos. Bolívar spent the night hiding under a bridge until soldiers loyal to his regime rescued him.[384]

In the aftermath of the attempted coup, Santander and the conspirators were arrested. Bolívar, depressed and ill, considered resigning from politics and pardoning the conspirators, but was dissuaded from this by his officers. Padilla, though uninvolved with the attempted coup, was executed; Santander, whom Bolívar thought responsible for the plot, was pardoned but exiled from Colombia.[385] In December 1828, Bolívar left Bogotá to respond to Peru's intervention in Bolivia and invasion of Ecuador and a revolt in Popayán and Pasto led by José María Obando. He left behind a council of ministers led by Urdaneta to govern Colombia and announced that a congress would convene in January 1830 to devise a new constitution. Over 1829, Obando was defeated by Colombian general José María Córdova at Bolívar's direction in January and then pardoned, while Sucre and Venezuelan general Juan José Flores defeated the Peruvians at the Battle of Tarqui in February, leading to an armistice in July and then the Treaty of Guayaquil in September.[386]

While Bolívar was away, Urdaneta and the council of ministers planned with French envoys to have a Bourbon succeed Bolívar on his death as King of Colombia. This plan was widely unpopular, and inspired Córdova to launch a revolt that was crushed in October 1829 by Daniel Florence O'Leary, Bolívar's aide-de-camp. In November, Bolívar ordered the council to cease its planning, which its members responded to by resigning,[387] and Venezuelans, encouraged by a circular letter Bolívar had published in October, voted to secede from Colombia and exile him.[388] On 15 January 1830, Bolívar arrived in Bogotá and on 20 January the Admirable Congress [es] convened in the city. Bolívar submitted his resignation from the presidency, which the congress did not accept as Colombia still lacked a constitution, and then denied his request to go to Venezuela and meet with Páez. In March, the congress permitted Bolívar to appoint New Granadan politician Domingo Caycedo as interim President, and then accepted Bolívar's resignation from office on 27 April.[389]

Death and burial

Determined to go into exile, Bolívar, who had given away or lost his fortune over his career, sold most of his remaining possessions and departed Bogotá on 8 May 1830.[390] He traveled down the Magdalena to Cartagena, where he arrived by the end of June to wait for a ship to take him to England.[391] On 1 July, Bolívar was informed that Sucre had been assassinated near Pasto while en route to Quito, and wrote to Flores asking him to avenge Sucre's murder.[392] In September, Urdaneta installed a conservative government in Bogotá and asked Bolívar to return and was refused.[393] With his health deteriorating and no ship forthcoming, Bolívar was moved by his staff to Barranquilla in October and then, at the invitation of a Spanish landowner in the area, to the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino near Santa Marta. There, on 17 December 1830, at the age of 47, Bolívar died of tuberculosis.[394]

Bolívar's body, dressed in a borrowed shirt, was interred in the Cathedral Basilica of Santa Marta [es] on 20 December 1830.[395] In 1842, Páez secured the repatriation of Bolívar's remains, which were paraded through Caracas and then laid to rest in its cathedral in December together with his wife and parents; Bolívar's heart remained in Santa Marta. His remains were moved again in October 1876 into the National Pantheon of Venezuela in Caracas, created that year by President Antonio Guzmán Blanco.[396] The Quinta near Santa Marta has been preserved as a museum to Bolívar[397] and the house in which he was born was opened as a museum and archive of his papers on 5 July 1921.[398]

In January 2008, President Hugo Chávez set up a commission to investigate his claim that Bolívar had been poisoned by "New Granada traitors".[399][400] The commission exhumed Bolívar's remains on 16 July 2010.[401] Its findings, that Bolívar had died of histoplasmosis, a fungal infection that manifests symptoms similar to tuberculosis, which was aggravated by arsenic poisoning, were announced by Vice President Elías Jaua on 25 July 2012.[402] Infectious disease specialist Paul Auwaerter suggested in a 2011 paper the fungal infection paracoccidioidomycosis, aggravated by arsenic poisoning.[403]

Legacy

In Venezuela, Bolívar left behind a militarist legacy[404] with multiple governments utilizing the memory, image and written legacy of Bolívar as important parts of their political messages and propaganda.[405] Bolívar disapproved of the excesses of "party spirit" and "factions", which led to an anti-political environment in Venezuela.[406] For much of the 1800s, Venezuela was ruled by caudillos, with six rebellions occurring to take control of Venezuela between 1892 and 1900 alone.[406] The militarist legacy was then used by the nationalist dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez[405] and more recently the socialist political movement led by Hugo Chávez.[407][better source needed]

Bolivarianism

His legacy led to a left-wing ideology in Latin America. Hugo Chávez led a Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela. Various left-wing political parties and guerrila groups in Latin America claim Bolivarianism as their ideology, these include the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the 19th of April Movement, the National Liberation Army, the Popular Liberation Army, Workers Revolutionary Party and the Movimiento Armado Quintin Lame. In 1987, these organizations formed the Simón Bolívar Guerrilla Coordinating Board. In 1974, in a symbolic manner, the 19th of April Movement stole one of Bolivar's swords. The organization returned the sword in 1991.[408]

Memory and memorials

Main article: List of places and things named after Simón Bolivar

The nations of Bolivia and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and their respective currencies (the Bolivian boliviano and the Venezuelan bolívar), are all named after Bolívar. His picture was printed on Bolivian boliviano[409], Venezuelan bolivar[410] and Colombian peso[411] banknotes. Most cities and towns in Colombia and Venezuela are built around a main square known as Plaza Bolívar, as is Bogotá.[412] His birthday is a public holiday in Venezuela and Bolivia.[citation needed] Several cities in Spain, especially in the Basque Country, have constructed monuments to Bolívar, including a large monument in Bilbao[413] and a comprehensive Venezuelan government-funded museum in Cenarruza-Puebla de Bolívar, his ancestral hometown.[414]

Simón Bolívar Day

petition was not arrested but was warned to cease hosting or attending seditious meetings 93 In May 1809 Casas was replaced by Vicente Emparan and his staff which included Fernando Rodriguez del Toro Emparan s government while friendlier to the creoles and connected to some of the opposition leaders 94 was also resisted by the creoles 95 By February 1810 French victories in Spain prompted the dissolution of the anti French Spanish government in favor of a five man regency council for Ferdinand VII 96 This news and two delegates that included Carlos de Montufar arrived in Venezuela on 17

and thereafter received the benefit of his connections and consultation 105 On 16 July 1810 the Venezuelan delegation met the British foreign secretary Richard Wellesley at his residence Led by Bolivar the Venezuelans argued in favor of Venezuelan independence Wellesley stated that it was intolerable for Anglo Spanish relations 106 and moreover was using his talks with the Venezuelans to secure access to Spanish American markets for British merchants from the Spanish regency 107 Subsequent meetings produced no recognition or concrete support from Britain 108 Finding that he had many shared beliefs with Miranda however Bolivar convinced him to come back to Venezuela 109 On 22 September 1810 110 Bolivar left for Venezuela aboard HMS Sapphire while Lopez and Bello remained in London as diplomats 111 and arrived in La Guaira on 5 December 112 Miranda whose return to Venezuela the British government did not desire but could not prevent 113 arrived in La Guaira later in December 114 c Venezuela 1811 1812 Edit While Bolivar was in England the Supreme Junta passed liberal economic reforms 120 and began to hold elections for representatives to a congress to be held in Caracas 121 It had also alienated Caracas from the Venezuelan provinces of Coro Maracaibo and Guayana which professed loyalty to the regency council 122 and began hostilities with them 123 124 Helping to create the Patriotic Society Bolivar and Miranda campaigned for and secured the latter s election to the congress 125 The congress first met on 2 March 1811 and declared its allegiance to Ferdinand VII 126 After it was discovered that one of the men leading the congress was a Spanish agent who had escaped with military documents however 127 discourse which Bolivar was prominent in changed decidedly in favor of independence over 3 and 4 July 128 Finally on 5 July the congress declared Venezuela s independence 129 The declaration of independence created a republic with a weak base of support and enemies in conservative whites disenfranchised people of color and already hostile Venezuelan provinces which received troops and supplies from the Captaincy Generals of Puerto Rico and Cuba 130 On 13 July 1811 the republic raised militias to fight the pro Spanish Royalists 131 Francisco Rodriguez del Toro es the Marquis of Toro es was appointed to command the Republican forces 132 which opened a breach between Bolivar and Miranda as Bolivar and del Toro were friends 133 After he failed to suppress a Royalist uprising in the city of Valencia later in July 134 Miranda replaced del Toro and recaptured Valencia es on 13 August 135 As a condition of assuming command of the Republican forces Miranda had Bolivar removed from his command of a militia unit 136 Bolivar nonetheless fought in the Valencia campaign as part of del Toro s militia 137 and was selected by Miranda to bring news of its recapture to Caracas 138 where he argued for more punitive and forceful campaigning against the Royalists 139 I left my house for the Cathedral and the earth began to shake with a huge roar I saw the church of San Jacinto collapse on its own foundations I climbed over the ruins and entered and I immediately saw about forty persons dead or dying under the rubble I climbed out again and I shall never forget that moment On the top of the ruins I found Don Simon Bolivar He saw me and said We will fight nature itself if it opposes us and force it to obey Royalist historian Jose Domingo Diaz es quoted by John Lynch 140 Beginning in November 1811 Royalist forces began pushing back the Republicans on from the north and east 141 Then on 26 March 1812 a powerful earthquake devastated Republican Venezuela Caracas itself was almost totally destroyed 142 Bolivar who was still in the area of Caracas 143 rushed into the city to participate in the rescue of survivors and exhumation of the dead 144 The earthquake also destroyed public support for the republic as it was believed to have been divine retribution for declaring independence from Spain 145 By April a Royalist army under the Spanish naval officer Juan Domingo de Monteverde overran western Venezuela Miranda 146 retreating east with a disintegrating army 147 ordered Bolivar to assume command of the coastal city of Puerto Cabello and its fortress 148 which contained Royalist prisoners and most of the republic s remaining arms and ammunition 149 Bolivar arrived at Puerto Cabello on 4 May 1812 150 On 30 June a Royalist officer of the fort s garrison released its prisoners armed them and turned its cannons on Puerto Cabello 147 151 Weakened by further shelling defections and lack of supplies Bolivar and his remaining troops fled for La Guaira on 6 July 152 Believing the republic to be doomed 147 Miranda decided to capitulate 153 shocking Bolivar and other Republican officers 154 After formally surrendering his command to Monteverde on 25 July 155 Miranda made his way to La Guaira where a group of conspirators including Bolivar arrested Miranda on 30 July on charges of treason 156 La Guaira declared for the Royalists the next day and closed its port on Monteverde s orders 157 Miranda was taken into Spanish custody and moved to a prison in Cadiz where he died on 16 July 1816 158 New Granada and Venezuela 1812 1815 Edit Bolivar escaped La Guaira early on 31 July 1812 and rode to Caracas 159 where he hid from arrest in the home of Esteban Fernandez de Leon es the Marquis de Casa Leon es Bolivar and Casa Leon convinced Francisco Iturbe a friend of the Bolivar family and of Monteverde to intercede on Bolivar s behalf and secure escape from Venezuela for him Iturbe persuaded Monteverde to issue Bolivar a passport for his role in Miranda s arrest 160 and on 27 August he sailed for Curacao He and his uncles Francisco and Jose Felix Ribas arrived on 1 September Late in October the exiles arranged for passage to the city of Cartagena in New Granada to offer their services to the United Provinces of New Granada 161 They arrived in November and were welcomed by Manuel Rodriguez Torices president of the Free State of Cartagena es 162 who instructed his commanding general Pierre Labatut to give Bolivar a military command Labatut a former partisan of Miranda begrudgingly obliged and on 1 December 1812 163 placed Bolivar in command of the 70 man garrison of a town on the lower Magdalena River 164 1917 engraving of Bolivar While en route to his posting Bolivar issued the Cartagena Manifesto outlining what he believed to be the causes of the Venezuelan republic s defeat and his political program In particular Bolivar called for the disparate New Granadan republics to help him invade Venezuela to prevent a Royalist invasion of New Granada 165 Bolivar arrived on the Magdalena River on 21 December and 166 in spite of orders from Labatut to not act without his direction 167 launched an offensive that secured control of the Magdalena River by 8 January 1813 168 In February he joined forces with Republican colonel Manuel del Castillo y Rada es who requested Bolivar s assistance with stopping a Royalist advance into New Granada from Venezuela and captured the city of Cucuta 169 In early March 1813 Bolivar set up his headquarters in Cucuta and sent Jose Felix Ribas to request permission to invade Venezuela 170 Though rewarded with honorary citizenship in New Granada and a promotion to the rank of brigadier general 171 that permission did not come until 7 May because of del Castillo s opposition to the invasion When a limited invasion was permitted Castillo resigned his command and was succeeded by Francisco de Paula Santander 172 On 14 May Bolivar launched the Admirable Campaign 173 in which he issued the Decree of War to the Death ordering the death of all Spaniards in South America not actively aiding his forces 174 Within six months Bolivar pushed all the way to Caracas 175 which he entered on 6 August 176 177 and then drove Monteverde out of Venezuela in October 178 179 Bolivar returned to Caracas on 14 October and was named The Liberator El Libertador by its town council 180 a title first given to him by the citizens of the Venezuelan town of Merida on 23 May 181 On 2 January 1814 Bolivar was made the dictator of a Second Republic of Venezuela 182 which retained the weaknesses of the first republic 183 Though all of Venezuela but Maracaibo Coro and Guayana was controlled by Republicans 184 185 Bolivar only governed western Venezuela The east was controlled by Santiago Marino a Venezuelan Republican who had fought Monteverde in the east throughout 1813 186 187 and was unwilling to recognize Bolivar 188 Venezuela was economically devastated and could not support the republic s armies 189 and people of color remained disenfranchised and thus unsupportive of the republic 190 The republic was assailed from all sides by slave revolts and Royalist forces 191 especially the Legion of Hell an army of llaneros the colored cowboys of the Llanos to the south led by the Spanish warlord Jose Tomas Boves 192 Beginning in February 1814 Boves surged out of the Llanos and overwhelmed the republic occupying Caracas on 16 July and then destroying Marino s powerbase on 5 December at the Battle of Urica where he died 193 194 As Boves approached Caracas Bolivar ordered the city stripped of its gold and silver 195 which was moved through La Guaira to Barcelona Venezuela 196 and from there to Cumana 197 Bolivar then led 20 000 of its citizens east 195 He arrived in Barcelona on 2 August 198 but following another Royalist victory es at Aragua de Barcelona on 17 August 1814 he moved to Cumana 199 On 26 August he sailed with Marino to Margarita Island with the treasure The officer in control of the island Manuel Piar declared Bolivar and Marino to be traitors and forced them to return to the mainland 200 There Ribas also accused Bolivar and Marino of treachery confiscated the treasure 201 and then exiled the two on 8 September 202 Bolivar arrived in Cartagena on 19 September and then met with the New Granadan congress in Tunja 203 which tasked him with subduing the rival Free and Independent State of Cundinamarca 204 On 12 December Bolivar captured Cundinamarca s capital Bogota and was given command of New Granada s armies in January 1815 205 Bolivar next grappled with del Castillo who had taken control of Cartagena 206 Bolivar began a six week siege of the city es that allowed the Royalists to regain control of the Magdalena 207 On 8 May Bolivar made a truce with del Castillo resigned his command and sailed for exile on Jamaica 208 In July 8 000 Spanish soldiers commanded by Spanish general Pablo Morillo landed at Santa Marta and then besieged Cartagena es which capitulated on 6 December del Castillo was executed 209 210 Jamaica Haiti Venezuela and New Granada 1815 1819 Edit 1895 portrait of Bolivar by Arturo Michelena Bolivar arrived in Kingston Jamaica on 14 May 1815 and 211 like his earlier exile on Curacao ruminated on the fall of the Venezuelan and New Granadan republics He wrote extensively requesting assistance from Britain and corresponding with merchants based in the Caribbean This culminated in September 1815 with the Letter from Jamaica in which Bolivar again laid out his ideology and vision of the future of the Americas 212 On 9 December the Venezuelan pirate Renato Beluche brought Bolivar news from New Granada and asked him to join the Republican community in exile in Haiti 213 Bolivar tentatively accepted and that night escaped assassination when his manservant mistakenly killed his paymaster as part of a Spanish plot 214 He left Jamaica eight days later 215 arrived in Les Cayes on 24 December 216 and on 2 January 1816 was introduced to Alexandre Petion President of the Republic of Haiti by a mutual friend 217 Bolivar and Petion impressed and befriended each other and 218 after Bolivar pledged to free every slave in the areas he occupied Petion gave him money and military supplies 219 220 Returning to Les Cayes Bolivar held a conference with the Republican leaders in Haiti and was made supreme leader with Marino as his chief of staff 221 The Republicans departed Les Cayes for Venezuela on 31 March 1816 and followed the Antilles eastward 222 After a delay to allow a lover of Bolivar s to join the fleet it arrived on 2 May at Margarita Island controlled by Republican commander Juan Bautista Arismendi 223 Bolivar next moved to the mainland where he declared the emancipation of all slaves and annulled of the Decree of War to the Death 224 d He took Carupano on 31 May and sent Marino and Piar into Guayana to build their own army 227 and then Ocumare de la Costa on 6 July 228 There by 14 July his forces were defeated and scattered by a Royalist force that then captured Ocumare and the Haitian supplies 229 230 Bolivar fled by sea to Guiria where on 22 August he was deposed by Marino and Jose Francisco Bermudez 231 who tried to kill Bolivar with a sword 232 Bolivar returned to Haiti by early September 233 where Petion again agreed to assist him 234 In his absence the Republican leaders scattered across Venezuela concentrating in the Llanos and became disunited warlords 235 Unwilling to recognize Marino s leadership 236 Arismendi wrote to Bolivar and dispatched New Granadan Republican Francisco Antonio Zea to convince him to return Bolivar and Zea set sail for Venezuela on 21 December with Luis Brion a Dutch merchant 237 and arrived ten days later at Barcelona There Bolivar announced his return and called for a congress for a new third republic 238 He wrote to the Republican leaders especially Jose Antonio Paez who controlled most of the western Llanos to unite under his leadership 239 240 On 8 January 1817 Bolivar marched towards Caracas but was turned back and then pursued to Barcelona by a larger Royalist force 241 At Bolivar s request Marino arrived on 8 February with Bermudez who then reconciled with Bolivar and forced a Royalist withdrawal 242 Even with their combined forces however Bolivar Marino and Bermudez could not hold Barcelona 243 Instead on 25 March 1817 244 Bolivar began moving south to join Piar in Guayana Piar s power base and establish his own economic and political base there 245 246 Bolivar met Piar on 4 April 247 promoted him to the rank of general of the army and then joined a force of Piar s troops besieging the city of Angostura now Ciudad Bolivar on 2 May 248 Meanwhile Marino went east to reestablish his power base and on 8 May convened a congress of ten men including Brion and Zea that named Marino as supreme commander of the Republican forces 249 This backfired and provoked the defection of 30 officers including Rafael Urdaneta and Antonio Jose de Sucre to Bolivar 250 On 30 June Bolivar granted Piar leave of absence at his request 251 and then issued an arrest warrant for Piar on 23 July after he began fomenting rebellion alleging that Bolivar had dismissed him because of his African heritage Piar was captured on 27 September as he fled to join Marino was brought to Angostura where he was executed by firing squad on 16 October 252 Bolivar then sent Sucre to reconcile with Marino 253 who pledged loyalty to Bolivar on 26 January 1818 254 On 17 July 1817 Angostura fell es to Bolivar s forces which then gained control of the Orinoco River in early August 255 256 Angostura became the provisional Republican capital and in September 257 Bolivar began creating formal political and military structures for the republic 258 259 Bolivar then gained recognition as supreme leader from Paez whom he met at San Juan de Payara on 30 January 1818 260 In February 1818 the Republicans moved north and took Calabozo where they defeated Morillo es 261 who had returned to Venezuela a year earlier after conquering Republican New Granada 262 Bolivar next advanced towards Caracas and on 16 March was himself defeated es 263 264 and was almost assassinated by Spanish infiltrators in April Illness and additional Republican defeats obliged Bolivar to return to Angostura in May For the rest of the year he focused on administrating the republic rebuilding its armed forces 265 and organizing elections for a national congress that would meet in 1819 266 267 Gran Colombia 1819 1830 Edit c 1826 equestrian portrait of Bolivar by Jose Hilarion Ibarra es The congress met in Angostura on 15 February 1819 268 There Bolivar gave a speech in which he presented his draft of a constitution es for a centralized government modeled on the British government advocated for racial equality 269 and relinquished civil authority to the congress 270 On 16 February the congress elected Bolivar as president and Zea as vice president 267 271 On 27 February 272 Bolivar left Angostura to rejoin Paez in the west and resumed campaigning es indecisively against Morillo 267 273 In May as the annual wet season was beginning in the Llanos Bolivar met with his officers and revealed his intention to invade New Granada 274 which he had prepared for by sending Santander to build up Republican forces in Casanare Province in August 1818 275 276 On 27 May 277 Bolivar marched with more than 2 000 soldiers toward the Andes 278 279 and left Paez Marino Urdaneta and Bermudez to tie down Morillo s forces in Venezuela 280 Bolivar entered Casanare Province with his army on 4 June 1819 281 then met up with Santander at Tame Arauca on 11 June 282 The combined Republican force reached the Eastern Range of the Andes on 22 June and began a grueling crossing 283 On 6 July the Republicans descended the Andes from the Paramo de Pisba es at Socha and into the plains of New Granada 284 After a brief convalescence the Republicans made rapid progress against the forces of Spanish colonel Jose Maria Barreiro Manjon es until on 7 August the Royalists were routed at the Battle of Boyaca On 10 August Bolivar entered Bogota which the Spanish officials had hastily abandoned 285 286 and captured the viceregal treasury and armories 287 After sending forces to secure Republican control of central New Granada 288 Bolivar paraded through Bogota on 18 September with Santander 289 Desiring to merge New Granada and Venezuela into a greater republic of Colombia Bolivar first established a provisional government in Bogota with Santander 290 and then left to resume campaigning against the Royalists in Venezuela on 20 September 1819 291 En route he learned that Santander had executed Barreiro and other Royalist prisoners on 11 October 292 and that Zea had been replaced as vice president in September 1819 by Arismendi who was conspiring with Marino against Urdaneta and Bermudez Bolivar arrived in Angostura on 11 December and by being conciliatory restored order 293 He then proposed the merging of New Granada and Venezuela to the congress on 14 December 294 which was approved On 17 December the congress issued a decree creating the Republic of Colombia including the regions of Venezuela New Granada and the still Spanish controlled Real Audiencia of Quito and elected Bolivar and Zea president and vice president respectively 295 After Christmas Day 1819 296 Bolivar left Angostura to direct campaigns against Royalist forces along the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela and New Granada 297 He met with Santander in Bogota in March 1820 then rode to Cucuta and inspected Republican forces in northern Colombia over April and May 1820 298 Meanwhile Morillo s military and political position was fatally undermined by the mutiny of Spanish soldiers in Cadiz on 1 January es which forced Ferdinand VII to accept a liberal constitution in March 299 300 News of the mutiny and its consequences arrived in Colombia in March and was followed by orders from Spain to Morillo to publicize the constitution and negotiate a peace that would return Colombia to the Spanish Empire Bolivar and Morillo seeking to gain leverage over each other 301 delayed talks until 21 November when Colombian and Royalist delegates met in Trujillo Venezuela 302 The delegates completed two treaties es on 25 November establishing a six month truce a prisoner exchange and basic rights for combatants Bolivar and Morillo signed the treaties on 25 and 26 November then met the next day at Santa Ana de Trujillo es 303 304 After this meeting Morillo turned his command over to Spanish general Miguel de la Torre and departed for Spain on 17 December 305 In February 1821 as Bolivar was traveling from Bogota to Cucuta in anticipation of the opening of a new congress there 306 he learned that Royalist controlled Maracaibo had defected to Colombia and been occupied by Urdaneta 307 308 La Torre protested to Bolivar who refused to return Maracaibo leading to a renewal of hostilities on 28 April 309 Over May and June Colombia s armies made rapid progress until on 24 June Bolivar and Paez decisively defeated La Torre at the Battle of Carabobo 310 311 All Royalist forces remaining in Venezuela were eliminated by August 1823 312 Bolivar entered Caracas in triumph on 29 June 313 and issued a decree on 16 July dividing Venezuela into three military zones governed by Paez Bermudez and Marino 314 Bolivar then met with the Congress of Cucuta 315 which had ratified the formation of Gran Colombia and elected him as president and Santander as vice president in September Bolivar accepted and was sworn in on 3 October although he protested the establishment of a precedent of military leaders as head of the Colombian state 316 Ecuador Peru and Bolivia 1821 1826 Edit 1901 engraving of Jose de San Martin After the Battle of Carabobo Bolivar turned his attention south to Pasto Colombia Quito and the Free Province of Guayaquil Ecuador and the Viceroyalty of Peru Pasto and Quito were Royalist strongholds 312 317 while Guayaquil had declared its independence on 9 October 1820 318 and had been garrisoned by Sucre on Bolivar s orders in January 1821 319 Panama declared its independence on 28 November 1821 and joined Colombia 320 Peru had been invaded by a Republican army led by Argentine general Jose de San Martin who had liberated Chile and Peru 321 and Bolivar feared San Martin would absorb Ecuador into Peru 322 In October 1821 after congress empowered him to secure Ecuador for Colombia 323 Bolivar assembled an army in Bogota that departed on 13 December 1821 324 His advance was halted by illness and a Pyrrhic victory es in southern Colombia on 7 April 1822 325 326 To the south Sucre who had been trapped in Guayaquil by Royalist advances from Quito 327 now advanced decisively defeated the Royalists at the Battle of Pichincha on 24 May 1822 and occupied Quito 325 328 On 6 June Pasto surrendered 329 and ten days later Bolivar paraded through Quito with Sucre 330 He also met the Ecuadorian Republican Manuela Saenz the wife of a British merchant with whom he began a lasting affair 331 From Quito Bolivar traveled to Guayaquil in anticipation of a meeting with San Martin to discuss the city s status and rallied support for its annexation by Colombia 332 By the time San Martin arrived in Guayaquil on 26 July 333 Bolivar had already secured Guayaquil for Colombia 334 and the two day Guayaquil Conference produced little Ill politically isolated and disillusioned San Martin subsequently resigned from his offices and went into exile 335 336 Over the rest of 1822 Bolivar traveled around Ecuador to complete its annexation while dispatching officers to suppress repeated rebellions in Pasto and resisting calls to return to Bogota or Venezuela 337 Meanwhile Royalist forces under general Jose de Canterac overwhelmed the Peruvian republic es and briefly took Lima Peru s capital in June 1823 338 339 After initially refusing Colombian assistance 340 the Peruvian congress asked Bolivar several times in 1823 to assume command of their forces Bolivar responded by sending an army under Sucre to assist and requested permission from the Colombian congress to lead troops into Peru himself 341 On 3 August Bolivar received that permission and set sail for Lima 342 where he arrived to much fanfare on 1 September 343 When Bolivar arrived Peru was split between four Republican armies and two rival presidents Jose de la Riva Aguero and Jose Bernardo de Tagle the Royalists based out of the region of Upper Peru and Bolivar whom the Peruvian congress invested with supreme military authority 344 345 In November 1823 a faction of officers serving Riva Aguero who plotted with the Royalists against Bolivar mutinied and handed him to Bolivar who exiled Riva Aguero from Peru 346 Bolivar next struggled to build an army in Peru with few resources and without support from Colombia or its allies 345 347 On 1 January 1824 Bolivar collapsed with a fever and was bedridden for two months 348 Meanwhile Tagle and the garrison of the city of Callao defected to the Royalists who then took Lima 349 In response the Peruvian congress named Bolivar dictator of Peru on 10 February 1824 Bolivar moved to northern Peru in March and began assembling an army 345 350 for which he increasingly demanded additional men and money from Santander straining their relationship 351 In May 1824 after learning of a rebellion es against the Viceroy Jose de la Serna by conservative Royalist Pedro Antonio Olaneta Bolivar began advancing in Peru 352 and defeated Canterac at the Battle of Junin on 6 August 353 354 Antonio Jose de Sucre accepting the surrender es of Jose de Canterac Choosing to ignore Olaneta La Serna ordered his forces to concentrate at Cuzco to face Bolivar 354 355 Heavy rainfall in September halted Bolivar s advance 356 and on 6 October he gave command of the army to Sucre and moved to Huancayo to manage political affairs On 24 October Bolivar received a letter from Santander informing him that the Colombian congress had stripped him of his military and civil authority in favor of Sucre and Santander respectively 357 Although indignant and resentful of Santander Bolivar wrote to him on 10 November to communicate his acquiescence 358 and reoccupied Lima on 5 December 1824 359 On 9 December Sucre decisively defeated La Serna s Royalists at the Battle of Ayacucho and accepted the surrender es of all Royalist forces in Peru The garrison of Callao and Olaneta ignored the surrender Shortly after arriving in Lima Bolivar began a siege of Callao that lasted until January 1826 360 361 and sent Sucre into Upper Peru to eliminate Olaneta which he accomplished in April 1825 362 In early 1825 Bolivar resigned from his offices in Colombia and Peru but neither nation s congress accepted his resignation on 10 February 1825 the Peruvian congress extended his dictatorship for another year Accepting the extension 363 Bolivar settled into governing Peru and passing reforms that were largely not carried out such as a school system based on the principles of English educator Joseph Lancaster that was managed by Simon Rodriguez 364 In April 1825 Bolivar began a tour of southern Peru that took him to the cities of Arequipa and Cuzco by August As Bolivar approached Upper Peru a congress gathered in the city of Chuquisaca now Sucre on 6 August it declared the region to be the nation of Bolivia named Bolivar President and asked him to write a constitution for Bolivia He accepted these appointments 365 Bolivar arrived in Potosi on 5 October and met with two Argentine agents Carlos Maria de Alvear and Jose Miguel Diaz Velez who tried without success to convince him to intervene in the Cisplatine War against the Empire of Brazil 366 From Potosi Bolivar traveled to Chuquisaca and appointed Sucre to govern Bolivia he departed for Peru on 1 January 1826 367 Bolivar arrived in Lima on 10 February and dispatched his draft of the Bolivian constitution to Sucre on 12 May 368 That constitution es was ratified with modification by the Bolivian congress in July 1826 369 Peru whose elites chafed at Bolivar s rule and the presence of his soldiers was also induced to accept a modified version es of Bolivar s constitution on 16 August 370 In Venezuela Paez revolted against Santander and in Panama a congress of American nations organized by Bolivar convened without his attendance and produced no change in the hemispheric status quo On 3 September responding to pleas for his return to Colombia Bolivar departed Peru and left it under a governing council led by Bolivian general Andres de Santa Cruz 371 Final years 1826 1830 Edit Bolivar arrived in Guayaquil on 13 September 1826 and heard complaints against Santander s governance from the people of Guayaquil and Quito who declared him their dictator 372 From Ecuador he continued north and heard more complaints promoted civil and military officers and commuted prison sentences 373 As he approached Bogota Bolivar was met by Santander who hoped to persuade Bolivar to his cause in the conflict with Paez Although Santander was annoyed at Bolivar for his desire to return to power and ratify a version of the Bolivian constitution in Colombia they reconciled and agreed that Bolivar would resume the presidency of Colombia congress had reelected them to a second four year term beginning on 2 January 1827 Bolivar arrived in Bogota on 14 November 1826 and found the city hostile to him for violations of Colombian law 374 The window of the Palacio de San Carlos through which Bolivar escaped assassination on 25 September 1828 On 25 November Bolivar left Bogota with an army supplied by Santander and arrived at Puerto Cabello on 31 December 375 where he issued a general amnesty to Paez and his allies if they submitted to his authority Paez accepted and in January 1827 Bolivar confirmed Paez s military authority in Venezuela and entered Caracas with him to much jubilation for two months Bolivar attended balls celebrating his return and the amnesty 376 That amnesty and clashes over Santander s handling of Colombia s finances caused a break between Bolivar and Santander that became an open enmity in 1827 377 In February 1827 Bolivar submitted his resignation from the Presidency of Colombia which its congress rejected 378 Meanwhile the Colombian soldiers garrisoned in Lima mutinied arrested their Venezuelan officers and occupied Guayaquil until September 1827 Bolivar was deposed as President in Peru and his constitution was repealed 379 Bolivar departed Venezuela to return to Bogota in July 1827 He arrived on 10 September with an army he had gathered at Cartagena and was again sworn in as President of Colombia then secured the calling of a new congress to meet at the city of Ocana in early 1828 to modify the Colombian constitution The elections for this congress were held in November 1827 and as Bolivar declined to campaign were very favorable to his political opponents 380 In January 1828 Bolivar was joined in Bogota by Saenz 381 but on 16 March 1828 he left the capital after being informed of a Spanish backed rebellion in Venezuela As that revolt was crushed before he arrived Bolivar turned his attention to the occupation of Cartagena by Jose Prudencio Padilla a New Granadan admiral and Santander loyalist Padilla s rebellion was also crushed before Bolivar arrived however and he was subsequently arrested and imprisoned in Bogota As the Convention of Ocana opened on 9 April Bolivar based himself at Bucaramanga to monitor its proceedings through his aides 382 The convention lasted until 11 June 1828 when Bolivar s allies staged a walkout that left Colombia without a constitution 383 Two days later Pedro Alcantara Herran a Bolivar loyalist and the governor of New Granada called a meeting of the city s bourgeoisie that denounced the Convention of Ocana and called on Bolivar to assume absolute power in Colombia Bolivar accepted He returned to Bogota on 24 June and on 27 August assumed supreme power as the president liberator of Colombia abolished the office of the vice president and assigned Santander to a diplomatic posting in Washington D C On 25 September 1828 a group of young liberals that included Santander s secretary made an attempt to assassinate Bolivar and overthrow his government The attempt was thwarted by Saenz who bought time for Bolivar to escape as the assassins entered the Palacio de San Carlos Bolivar spent the night hiding under a bridge until soldiers loyal to his regime rescued him 384 In the aftermath of the attempted coup Santander and the conspirators were arrested Bolivar depressed and ill considered resigning from politics and pardoning the conspirators but was dissuaded from this by his officers Padilla though uninvolved with the attempted coup was executed Santander whom Bolivar thought responsible for the plot was pardoned but exiled from Colombia 385 In December 1828 Bolivar left Bogota to respond to Peru s intervention in Bolivia and invasion of Ecuador and a revolt in Popayan and Pasto led by Jose Maria Obando He left behind a council of ministers led by Urdaneta to govern Colombia and announced that a congress would convene in January 1830 to devise a new constitution Over 1829 Obando was defeated by Colombian general Jose Maria Cordova at Bolivar s direction in January and then pardoned while Sucre and Venezuelan general Juan Jose Flores defeated the Peruvians at the Battle of Tarqui in February leading to an armistice in July and then the Treaty of Guayaquil in September 386 While Bolivar was away Urdaneta and the council of ministers planned with French envoys to have a Bourbon succeed Bolivar on his death as King of Colombia This plan was widely unpopular and inspired Cordova to launch a revolt that was crushed in October 1829 by Daniel Florence O Leary Bolivar s aide de camp In November Bolivar ordered the council to cease its planning which its members responded to by resigning 387 and Venezuelans encouraged by a circular letter Bolivar had published in October voted to secede from Colombia and exile him 388 On 15 January 1830 Bolivar arrived in Bogota and on 20 January the Admirable Congress es convened in the city Bolivar
