📜 History of Simón Bolívar, Part 3: The failure of his first attempted revolution in Venezuela only fanned the flames of Simón Bolívar's determination to end Spanish reign over South America. Convinced that he needed to unite the entire continent in freedom, he gathered troops and set out with a new purpose. But his ferocity threatened to overwhelm his ideals.

Indeed, I'm just realizing how different Bolivar and San Martin were. San Martin never had any aspirations of power, any time someone offered him one he rejected it, or delegate someone else. That and he always treated POW and spanish royalist with respect, as if they were his own men. There is a even letter were he rejected an small payment from a spanish general to cover the expenses of some prisoners he had taken after a battle.

But there are differences. Napoleon made himself emperor. Bolivar was a reluctant dictator. After that series of battles (The Admirable Campaign), when he entered Caracas, he received the title of Liberartor of Venezuela, to which he said "This honor is more glorious and fulfilling than the scepter of all empires on Earth." In fact, he step down once the fight was over. His last words were, "Colombians, if my death contributes to the cesaing of the parties and the consolidation of the union, I shall go down in peace to my tomb."

Not very surprising. Most children in the US are taught that their War of Independence was a struggle for democracy. In real life, it was a naked powergrab by aristocratic elites - only the rich could vote until well into the 19th century. George Washington would have been HORRIFIED by democracy as we understand it today. He actually referred to poor people as "Cattle".

@viking8796 7 жыл бұрын

The "Legion of Hell," from what information I've found on them, didn't start out as bandits or outlaws. They were men who lived on the Venezuelan plains that were used to life on horseback, a people that were more or less left to their own devices, owing no loyalty to the Spanish or the Republicans. They were recruited into the war against the Second Republic and became (initially) a 4,000 strong lance cavalry division. Much of the success of the Spanish Royalists against the Republicans during this war is attributed to the Legion as their charges more or less broke Republican forces everywhere they met them. They were so effective that in the future struggle for Venezuelan independence, the Republicans under Bolivar would end up recruiting them for their cause. So to write them off as bandits or outlaws is kind of a disservice to their effectiveness as a fighting force. That's not to say that their methods weren't brutal though. Everywhere they went, civilian rapes, massacres, and all kinds of atrocities followed. I think there were more like the ancient Huns, since they relied on spears and charges, rather than the Mongols since Mongol tactics revolved more around the use of their superior horse archers and feigned retreats.

@fidmarcano5841 7 жыл бұрын

Vik Ing when they became a part of the Republican army, they had the 'battle of queseras del medio' where they defeated a +1000 Spaniard division with only 140 men... They only had 2 casualties and it began with a feigned retreat.

@viking8796 7 жыл бұрын

Yal Rathol I didn't say I rooted for them. And in any case, "rooting" for historical figures is strange because we know how things turned out and the scope of how they behaved (i.e. whether they were more bandits than freedom fighters, etc). The point I was making was that people in the comments section were talking about them as if they were merely outlaws and not one of the key players within the wars of that era. They delivered the First Republican War to the Spanish, and Bolivar courted them for his returning campaigns. That should tell people how important they were as a fighting force. 'where's the line when "effective combat unit" becomes "terrorist band that needs to be stopped"?' You're arguing two separate things. A fighting force can be both a terrorist faction and an effective combat unit. Those are not mutually exclusive things.

There are numerous countries that received either independence or regime change without violent conflict. Most clearly is Belgian Congo. It was owned privately by the Belgian king (not the state) and run by an absolutely evil dictator. When the Belgian people figured out, they said that the king had to pay for his crimes, by giving the colony to the people (read: state) of Belgium. They turned the most horrific colony in history into one of the most well run colonies with the some of the most fair treatment of the native population (but, you know - still a colony).

There is a simple answer to that. Why did the US revolution worked? All the leaders of the colonies sit down, they got to an agreement of what to do and how it should be ruled and then they went to and actual war. Here in latin america, not a single leader sit down with others and tryied to to do that. Actually, i could guess that the next part of this will introduce Antonio Nariño, one of the leaders of New Granada, aka Colombia, and he was not a fan of Bolivar, specially after he centraliced the power over him. Basically Nariño thought that Bolivar was trying to put monarchy again but under his rule.

The defeat is known as the "fall of the 2nd republic" which was followed by the "exodus to the east" when people of Caracas left so they could scape the llaneros. Also, "llaneros" were those cowboys and a Spaniard general said about them in a letter to the king "your majesty give me a thousand llaneros and I'll put Europe at your feet". Also the Venezuelan war for independence was so violent that British mercenaries would ask for extra payment for fighting in Venezuela. Source: I'm Venezuelan, that's my history.

But I wish they would have talk about in other episode abou José Tomás "Taita" Rodriguez Boves, the leader of the Legion of Hell. The irony is that the guy leading the "pardos" and the blacks in a class and race war was a Spanish white. To be just with him, he tried to join the independence movement in 1810 offering money and his llaneros, but White Criollos looked at him like dirt for owning a butcher shop and involve himself with the lower classes and finally incarcelate him for being Spanish... Lets say that once he was liberate by royal forces the guy slipped badly, like "badshit crazy" bad

Except Napoleon declared himself an emperor, Bolívar was more of a dictator. This would be proved when he would help in the creation of the institutions of the third republic. During the second Republic he was more focused on liberating the country and eliminating the spanish influence rather than making institutions, thus, there wasn't a congress this time around.

Rabano Doom He wanted liberty and he owned slaves, he hated Napoleon, yet he did the same thing... in general, Bolívar is a shady guy, and not all historians believe his final goal was to liberate America.

@LuccianoBartolini 7 жыл бұрын

Retax7 Those slaves you talk about raised him from his childhood. He loved them more than anything and you cannot be a rich man in XIX century without them, he treated them very well (as many landowners did in Caracas) and it was for those slaves that he wanted to abolish slavery. In fact, when he made The Great Colombia, one of the laws made were designed so any born slave that got 18 years old would become a free man (with a good amount of money saved since his childhood so he could start out very well). Those who think he was a shady guy, luckily, are a minority because they ignore facts to try to sustain their flawed speeches.

@nicolasreta2248 7 жыл бұрын

Well, i consider him a shady figure. He did terrible things. Most liberators try to avoid the sith path, while people like bolivar, or guevara and fidel do not care how many innocents or war crimes happen as long as they win their "revolution". A revolution of freedom should never forget that they fight for the people, and innocent civilians shouldn't be sacrificed because it is a price to pay. I mean, you're fighting for thier freedom, what kind of freedom are you trying to create? Because both fidel castro and bolivar wanted to centralize power on themselves, and guevara admited he killed innocents just in case they where not.

Large conflicts today would end up with the death of billions of people as we bomb central methropoles, panicked every ressemble of infrascturute and start a big and massive nuclear winter which would endure for a decade.

Timothy McLean it ended with the treaty of armistice and regularization of war, which is a precedent of modern international laws of treatment to POW, something I hope EH addresses in future videos of this series. Even when the war continued for a couple of years the treaty ceased the atrocities committed by both sides, yet the war was so violent that the country remained unstable for the most of the 19th century, the good thing is that Venezuela became one of the richest countries in the world by the 20th century... And then we got Chavez, who screwed it up.

Yep, from all the independence wars in Latin America, Venezuela's was the bloodiest of them all, even war hardened British mercenaries were horrified... and I'm not even touching all the other civil war that came after the independence during the 19th century. But I wish they would have talk about in other episode abou José Tomás "Taita" Boves, the leader of the Legion of Hell. The irony is that the guy leading the "pardos" and the blacks in a class and race war was a Spanish white. To be just with him, he tried to join the independence movement in 1810 offering money and his llaneros, but White Criollos looked at him like dirt for owning a butcher shop and involve himself with the lower classes and finally incarcelate him for being Spanish... Lets say that once he was liberate by royal forces the guy slipped badly, like "badshit crazy" bad

5:53 You picture them using spears with metal tips, but the term fire-hardened spear refers to a weapon made entirely of wood which has its sharp point hardened by slowly charring it over a fire. This removes moisture from the wood, which makes it harder, if at the same time more brittle.
