The story of Simón Bolivar

How did a rich playboy end up being a military genius and the liberator of South America? And why did his military success not translate to political stability? This story looks at that, at his personal tragedies and the difficulties he faced even as he died at a relatively young 47.

San Martín next?? Love your channel

Thank you for the kind words.
The next videos are Nicaragua en español. Probably the history of Maryland and then I might do San Martín. He's a fascinating guy.

@ super excited. Love from Ohio. Your Spanish videos help me a lot to learn years and regions of countries. I recently did a study abroad to Chile and watched your Chile videos in English and Spanish so many times.

@@dinobarb3452 that makes me really happy! Chile is awesome.

As a peruvian San Martin>>>> Simón "the monster" Bolivar.

Bolivar ruled as a dictator and as a traitor to his false ideal of liberator. Three times fled leaving soldiers, officers and civilians a like to the mercy of the royalist. He was a brutal murderer and despot. Betraying the Great Francisco Miranda to only save his skin. Despicable person all of his life. A liar, cheater and a coward.
