Simón Bolívar was a Venezuelan military and political leader who played a pivotal role in Latin America's struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire. Revered as a hero, visionary, and liberator, he was instrumental in leading numerous nations toward freedom and establishing the foundations of democratic ideology across much of Hispanic America. His legacy is defined by his vision of a united Latin America and his unwavering pursuit of liberty and self-determination.
Known throughout Latin America as El Libertador, Venezuelan revolutionary Simón Bolívar was one of the most important leaders in the wars of independence from Spain. Recently revived by Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez for his own political program–which he has called ‘the Bolívarian Revolution’–these galvanizing words remain as relevant for current political and social struggles as they were in Bolivar’s own day.

En junio de 1817, poco antes de la toma de Angostura por los republicanos, fueron capturadas dos goletas norteamericanas, llamadas la "Tigre" y la "Libertad". Sus dueños, reclamaron ante el gobierno de los Estados Unidos y éste último destacó a Bautista Irvine como Agente Especial ante el gobierno de Venezuela, para que intentase las reclamaciones correspondientes. La correspondencia entre Bolívar e Irvine es el primer enfrentamiento entre un país latinoaméricano con los Estados Unidos.La altura intelectual de Bolívar, el conocimiento de las relaciones internacionales y del Derecho de gentes, colocan en su lugar al agente de USA. Irvine utiliza el lenguaje de la escuela de Washington: prepotencia, desconocimiento, mentira, falsa ironía y desvío de los problemas reales que trata el asunto aludido. El polo de aceptación o rechazo a las actuaciones de los Estados Unidos se centran en Colombia y Venezuela, países hermanos y gemelos que nacen el mismo día bajo la égida de Boyacá y de la Ley Fundamental de la República de Colombia.
