Explanation: 

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both leaders had the same goal to liberate South America from the Spanish. However, both men were incredibly ambitious and wanted to lead Peru to independence. Ostensibly the purpose of the meeting was for the two leaders to discuss the proper form of government that would take over in an independent Peru.
