Answer: Venezuela was a Spanish colony.

Step-by-step explanation:

The French Revolution and the American War of Independence were a strong impetus for revolutions around the world. Venezuela was a Spanish colony, so inspired by the struggles of other peoples for independence; they began their journey in the fight for freedom. In the early nineteenth century, the battle for Venezuela's independence began.

After a series of struggles, they declared independence from Spain, but this only intensified their bloody path to freedom and independence. Venezuela's path to independence will be led by Simon Bolivar and will last for ten years. The military successes at the Battle of Carabobo and the victories at Lake Maracaibo will be crucial to the path to independence. The journey to freedom and war will take about eight hundred thousand lives, which will significantly affect Venezuela's demographic picture
