latin american revolutions project

My independance leader's name is Jose de San Martin. His country/colony was Argentina and the date was 1816. San Martin was a creole who was educated in France. He was strongly influenced by the enlightenment and he led an uprise against Spain in 1810. The Republic of Venezuela was overthrown and then in the year of 1821 he freed Bogota then won independence by 1824. Jose de San Martin tried to unite part of Latin America but it ended up breaking up into three counrties today called Venezuela, Colombia, and Equador.
