Guerra de Independencia de Venezuela

The Guerra de Independencia de Venezuela (Venezuelan War of Independence) was a struggle from 1810 to 1823 where Venezuelans fought to end Spanish colonial rule and establish their own nation. Inspired by Enlightenment ideas and other revolutions, leaders like Simón Bolívar led efforts to unify the country’s diverse regions against Spanish forces. The war involved battles, alliances, and political changes, eventually resulting in Venezuela declaring independence in 1821 and fully consolidating it by 1823. This conflict was a key part of Latin America's broader push for independence from European colonial powers.
