Independencia de Venezuela

The Independencia de Venezuela, declared in 1811, marked the country's break from Spanish colonial rule. Inspired by Enlightenment ideas and concurrent independence movements in the Americas, Venezuelans sought self-governance and freedom from Spanish control. This process involved military efforts, political organization, and sacrifices by leaders like Simón Bolívar. After years of struggle, Venezuela achieved full independence in 1821, transforming into a sovereign nation. The independence movement was crucial for establishing Venezuela’s identity, sovereignty, and laying the foundation for its future political development.
