Answer:

Simon Bolivar was fighting for the independence of Latin American colonies of Spain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simon Bolivar, born July 24, 1783 in Caracas in present-day Venezuela, died December 17, 1830 in Santa Marta, in present Colombia, was a South American general and nationalist. Simon Bolivar freed Peru, Venezuela and New Granada (today's Colombia) from the Spanish empire, and together with his general Antonio Jose de Sucre he shares the honor of having liberated Ecuador. He planned to gather all the former Spanish possessions in Latin America into one state, but he failed and former Spanish colonies became independent countries.
