August 12, 1811

Upon my arrival to Venezuela, I plan to efficiently attack the peninsulares and remove them from the area. Having just gained the territories or Peru and Argentina independence, Venezuela will be a big step in the process of ridding of the Spaniards from this land. Without them pestering and ordering all of you, I plan to unify all the newly independent nations to create a tightly knit community of diverse, but equal classes of people, putting us on the world's table with no one else benifiting greater than us. Our natural resources currently help provide some of the most demanding consumers in the world, and our land is profitable and plentiful. However, these advantages we could be proffiting from are being monoplolized by the colonizers of Spain with a headquaters that is an ocean's distance away. This makes them essentially weaker than us and I am determined to take advantage of this and bring peace and unification to you people, rather than oppression and unhappiness. Good times are soon to come, my people; just keep believing it, and it will happen!
-Simon Bolivar
