Detailed explanation-1: -Bolivar hoped to unite all South American countries into one nation. He did not succeed in this plan. Instead, his leadership helped establish what are now the nations of Colombia, Panama, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Venezuela.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bolívar himself led multiple expeditionary forces against the Spaniards, and between 1819 and 1822 he successfully liberated three territories-New Granada (Colombia and Panama), Venezuela, and Quito (Ecuador)-from Spanish rule.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main reason, simply put, is that the areas rebelling against Spanish control in South America were much, much larger than the areas rebelling against British control in North America. The 13 Colonies were a continuous coast with enough flat land to make land communication easy.
Detailed explanation-4: -SIMON BOLIVAR IS BEST KNOWN AS THE LIBERATOR OF MOST OF SPANISH SOUTH AMERICA. HE WAS ALSO A REVOLUTION-ARY THINKER WHO TRIED TO ADAPT DEMOCRATIC IDEAS AND SOCIAL REFORMS TO NATIONS HE LIBERATED. SIMON BOLIVAR (1783–1830) led the successful effort to make South America independent from Spain.
