In 1813, Simón Bolívar launched one of the most audacious military campaigns in South American history. After the fall of the First Republic, he fled to New Granada, where he secured support from the independent government of Cartagena. With a small army of fewer than a thousand men, he crossed the Andes, defeated royalist forces in six battles, and liberated Caracas in just five months. But the campaign was marred by Bolívar's infamous Decree of War to the Death, which ordered the execution of all Spanish prisoners and Venezuelan royalists. This brutal policy aimed to terrorize the enemy but also set a bloody precedent that would haunt the independence struggle. This episode examines Bolívar's strategic genius, the key battles of Niquitao, Los Horcones, and Taguanes, and the moral complexities of a war without quarter. We also explore the role of the llaneros, the fury of the royalist commander José Tomás Boves, and how the Admirable Campaign sowed the seeds for the tragic Second Republic. #Venezuela #SimónBolívar #AdmirableCampaign #WarToTheDeath #Independence #NewGranada #Cartagena #LosHorcones #Niquitao #Taguanes #Boves #Llaneros #DecreeOfWarToTheDeath #1813 #SouthAmerica #History #FexingoHistory #MilitaryHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
