Why did Simón Bolívar Betray the Spanish Empire?

Simon Bolivar was born in the capital city of the Captaincy General of Venezuela, Caracas, on July 24, 1783. From birth, Simon was already “a somebody”. The Bolivars were one of the most affluent Creole families in all of the Spanish Americas and thus, Simon had a good start to life from a societal perspective. Though his family circumstances were not ideal, marked by the death of his father and separation from his siblings during his upbringing, overall his childhood has been described by historian John Lynch as “at once privileged and deprived”. The boy was reasonably educated, though always a bit of a trouble maker, and at a young age, he had already stumbled upon an idea that the Spaniards were passionately opposed to - Venezuelan independence.
