Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar Palacios y Blanco called El Libertador (July 24, 1783 - December 17, 1830) was a leader of several independence movements throughout South America, collectively known as Bolívar's War. After a meeting in Guayaquil, on July 26 and July 27, 1822, with Argentine General José de San Martín, who had received the title of Protector of Peruvian Freedom, in August 1821, after having partially liberated Peru from the Spanish, Bolívar took over the task of fully liberating Peru. The Peruvian congress named him dictator of Peru, on February 10, 1824, which allowed Bolívar to completely reorganize the political and military administration. Bolívar, assisted by Antonio José de Sucre, decisively defeated the Spanish cavalry, on August 6, 1824, at Junín. Sucre destroyed the still numerically superior remnants of the Spanish forces at Ayacucho on December 9. Together with José de San Martín, Bolívar is regarded as one of the Liberators of Spanish South America. Source: Wikipedia
