Left-wing, nationalist movements in Latin America

In Venezuela, there were many incidents and movements happened for independence before Left Wing Nationalist Movement started.

In fact the movement was started caused by the influence of Spain rule that was existence since 1700. Though Colonies people able to produce many goods such as Coffee, textiles, minerals, wine etc, yet there were no free trade in the country and Spanish colonies not allowed to trade with others except only to trade with Spain and hence it became more advantageous for Spanish merchants. And no respect to Creoles, ultimately Simon Bolivar among them. Some of the wealthiest families in Venezuela including Simon Bolivar’s family lost the patience as Spain neglected Venezuela and hence started the Nationalist Movement. The movement known as Independence to Venezuela.

The revolutionary ideas also spread to Latin America from Europe and United States. As Haiti which was first Latin America nation got independence in 1804 gave the spirit to other countries who were fighting for independence. And many Latin American countries came out from Spain’s rule between 1804 to 1825. At last, Simon Bolivar could get the success bringing the independence of Venezuela, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The leaders including Augustin lturbide, Manuel Belgrano also associated with Simon Bolivar during the Left wing Nationalist Movement and even Nationalist Movement effectively influenced on the Liberation of Latin American Countries who were under the control of Spain.
