Simón Bolívar, oil painting by José Gil de Castro.

Peru remembers Bolívar as the one who dismembered their homeland.

It resonates with the spirit of Franklin Roosevelt and Simon Bolívar.

In 1985, UNESCO awarded him the Simon Bolivar Prize.

According to the Peruvian historian Hugo Pereyra Plasencia, It is necessary to go straight to the sources (letters, newspapers, official documents) so that it is clear that we Peruvians were considered extremely dreadful by Bolívar and he argues that to Bolívar himself, Peru was a threat

Therefore, many names from Peru s past are also present here Atahualpa, Pizarro, Sucre, Bolivar.

But before we go into Bolívar's time in Peru, let's get to know his personality.

American Hiram Paulding adds that Bolívar expressed that the Peruvians were cowards and that, as people, they lacked masculine virtues.

The historian suggest that during 1825 and 26, Peru had to deal with the worst on of the Bolívars, the imperator.

Some authors defend Bolívar's enactment, justifying that resources were provided to a State that was in a state of almost insolvency.

Economy The Central Bank of Venezuela is responsible for developing monetary policy for the Venezuelan bolívar which is used as currency.

José García Hamilton, an Argentinean scholar of Bolívar, believes that the Liberator was consistently dictatorial In his Jamaica letter (1815) and in the constituent convention of Angostura (1819), Bolívar postulated a political system with a life term presidency, a hereditary chamber made up of the generals who had achieved independence...

On April 1825, Bolívar, using his full power, annuls the emancipation of slaves already enacted by San Martín on August 11, 1826, Bolívar once again implements the indigenous taxation, which had already been eliminated by San Martín on August 27, 1821.

It achieved independence in 1804, and in 1816 it gave refuge and unreserved support to the liberator of America, Simón Bolívar.

A new continental myth may have emerged after the death of Hugo Chávez, even comparable to that of Che Guevara or Simón Bolívar.

Chávez himself always maintained that his idol, Simón Bolívar, was poisoned by his enemies in Colombia in 1830.

In addition to his liberation military work culminating in the victory at the battle of Ayacucho in 1824, there is a great deal to tell about the time Bolívar spent in Peru.

In the following tweet, for example, he mentions the UBCH , the Bolívar Chávez Battle Units (Unidades de Batalla Bolívar Chávez) of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela), the country's governing party. UBCH get ready for the forceful counter attack.

Historic documents repeatedly stated that San Martin told Bolivar he came to Guayaquil to liberate the land of the Incas from Spain.

Because of Bolivar's travels to Colombia, his government body was short lived and the Cabildo de Lima (Lima's council) in 1827 annulled the constitution that lasted only 50 days.

With him in power a new socialism government change the face of the country, previously better known for beauty pageants and as the birthplace of Simón Bolivar, the Latin America liberator.

July 24 marked the anniversary of the birth of the Liberator Simón Bolívar, a key political leader in Latin America's fight for independence from the Spanish.

Not only did Bolivar successfully make congress declare him Dictator, but he also propelled and obtained the odd approval of a life long Constitution with himself as President for life.

Once he officially became Peru's Dictator, his government actions were in bad shape and were adversely affecting the indigenous population of Peru, whom he despised, as has already been mentioned

But, Bolívar's intention was to form a new republic known as the Gran Colombia, out of the liberated Spanish territory of New Granada which consisted of Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador.

Once Gran Colombia was dissolved after the death of Simón Bolívar in 1830, Ecuador inherited the same border disputes and had the need of creating its own professional military force.

As the elite vacillated between emancipation and loyalty to the Spanish Monarchy, independence was achieved only after the occupation by military campaigns of José de San Martín and Simón Bolívar.

Journalist Álvaro Vargas Llosa writes in an article that Bolívar was a better warlord than all the other Latin American leaders from that time, but that warlordism itself is still the heart of the Latin problem

Bolívar's lack of affection towards the indigenous population, bordering on racism, is a controversial issue. On an anonymous blog, a student reflects on an analyzed text he studied in a class taught by professor Cecilia Méndez Gastelumendi

Jorge Basadre, Peru's most recognized historian, says that in 1804 Bolívar was a romantic, in 1810 he was a diplomat, in 1813 a Jacobian, a champion of freedom in 1819 and a genius of war in 1824.

Other notable awards include the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1984, the World Food Prize, the International Simon Bolivar Prize (1996), the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord and the Sydney Peace Prize in 1998, and the Seoul Peace Prize in 2006.

The highest mountain in Colombia is not in the Andes but in the Caribbean plain Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta with its highest points named Pico Cristobal Colon (5775 m) and Pico Simon Bolivar (same elevation).

The Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra, under the baton of its principal conductor Gustavo Dudamel and José Antonio Abreu, has hosted a number of excellent presentations in many European concert halls, notably at the 2007 London Proms, and has received several honors.

Bolivar had a very clear perception, in fact, that is why he did everything in his power to create an alternative hegemony The Gran Colombia, consisting of the current Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, with claims to Guayaquil and above all the Amazon River and it's gigantic surrounding region.

The Angostura convention did not approve this system for Venezuela, nor did the next Cúcuta convention approve it for Nueva Granada, but then Bolívar wrote a constitution in the brand new Bolivia, that included these elements, which is then approved in Peru.

Under the leadership of a new generation of leaders, such as Simón Bolívar The Liberator , José de San Martín of Argentina, and other Libertadores in South America, the independence movement regained strength, and by 1825, all Spanish America, except for Puerto Rico and Cuba, had gained independence from Spain.

Subsequently our liberator, Simón Bolívar, out of gratitude for the solidarity of the people and Government of Haiti, issued a decree in 1816 to embark from Haiti, land on the east coast of Venezuela and declare the liberation of the slaves in Venezuela an act that had a decisive impact on the strengthening of the process of emancipation of our countries.

In Latin America, the only breakthrough that dented post independence domination by the descendants of European colonizers came from a black freedom fighter and unifier, Simon Bolivar, who united the region before being forced into exile in Jamaica.
