The History of Simon Bolivar's Birthday?

Simon Bolivar was born into a wealthy Creole family of Basque descent. Orphaned by the age of 9, he was placed under the guardianship of tutors, including Simón Rodríguez, who introduced him to Enlightenment ideals.

In his teenage years, Bolívar was sent to Europe, where he witnessed Napoleon's coronation and absorbed revolutionary philosophies, particularly those of Rousseau, Voltaire, and Locke.

Bolívar's birthday is celebrated across multiple countries in South America, particularly in Venezuela, where it is a national holiday. His birth on July 24, 1783, is seen as the beginning of one of Latin America's most transformative lives, eventually leading to:

1. The end of Spanish colonial rule across much of northern South America;
2. The formation of Gran Colombia, a short-lived union of liberated territories.

Bolívar is remembered not only as a military leader but also as a visionary for Latin American unity and republican governance.
