    Political and military life

    Throughout 1808, the pressures of Napoleon triggered a series of events that further
    worsened the already compromised Spanish situation, King Charles IV of Spain abdicated
    the throne in favor of his son Fernando on March 19, 1808 after the events of the mutiny of
    Aranjuez, and later, on May 5, 1808, the disaster for Spain was completed when Charles
    IV and his son were forced to cede the throne to Napoleon Bonaparte in Bayonne to
    appoint his brother, Joseph, as new King of Spain. This provoked a great popular reaction
    in Spain that unleashed what is now known as the War of Spanish Independence and both
    in America and in Spain, regional juntas were formed that encouraged the fight against the
    French invaders to restore the throne to the legitimate monarch.
    Bolivar concentrated on organizing the state and directing the war in what seemed to be its
    final stage. He organized the military regime, maintained the Consulate, created a new
    fiscal system, and a new administration of justice. Attended the agricultural activity,
    exports, and the search for skilled labor. He modified the municipal government, and
    offered the nationality to foreign friends of the republican cause.

    Death

    The story relates that after his resignation and receiving the news of the murder of Sucre,
    alone and disappointed, Bolivar had decided to go to Europe, but his health worsened
    quickly, which is why he accepted the invitation of the Spanish Joaquín de Mier y Benítez,
    staying in Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, southwest of the city of Santa Marta, where
    he arrived on December 1, 1830, in the Gulet Manuel, escorted by the USS Grampus
    (1821) ship of the United States Navy. There he was treated by the French doctor
    Alejandro Próspero Révérend, in consultation with Dr. M. Night, military doctor of the USS
    Grampus. Always according to the official account, just over two weeks after arriving in
    Santa Marta, on December 17, 1830, Bolivar died of tuberculosis. The data on the last
    days of the Liberator, are taken from the book that Dr. Révérend published in 1866, in
    Paris, on the death of Bolivar, entitled The Last Illness, the Last Moments and the Funerals
    of Simón Bolivar, Liberator of Colombia and of Peru, where he details the evolution of the
    health of Bolivar in his last days, his death, autopsy and burial.

    Bolivar arrived in Santa Marta in a state of prostration on December 1, 1830, after a painful
    crossing of the Magdalena River from Bogota. Despite the good weather and the
    attentions received, his health worsened after a few days, having some moments of
    lucidity that allowed him to dictate his testament and his Last proclamation, where a
    seriously ill Bolivar clamored because his death, at least, allowed the consolidation of the
    union and the disappearance of the parties.

    Finally, the Liberator Simon Bolivar died of tuberculosis on December 17, 1830, at 47
    years of age, at the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, in Santa Marta. "At one and three
    minutes in the afternoon the sun of Colombia died," according to the official statement.

    Dissolution of the Great Colombia

    In 1831, a year after Bolívar's death, the Gran Colombia - which was in disintegration due
    to internal political disputes that fragmented the constitutional order - was legally
    dissolved. Thus, the three republics of New Granada, Venezuela and Ecuador were
    established, which would be under the leadership and influence of Francisco de Paula
    Santander (returned from exile), the Venezuelan José Antonio Páez, and Juan José Flores
    in Ecuador, respectively.
    Bolivar is admired for his persistence and his continuous struggle to free America from
    slavery. his name and history transcendent forever.
