Answer:

He was one of the most prominent figures of Spanish-American emancipation against the Spanish Empire. It contributed to inspire and concretize decisively the independence of the current Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela.

Step-by-step explanation:

He participated in the founding of Gran Colombia, a nation that tried to consolidate as a great political and military confederation in America, of which he was president. Bolívar is considered by his actions and ideas the Man of America and a figure of universal history, since he left a political legacy in several Latin American countries, some of which have made him the object of nationalist veneration. He has received honors in various parts of the world through statues, monuments, parks, squares, etc. His ideas gave rise to the political current called Bolivarianism.
