Bolivian Independence Day’s History

In the middle of the sixteenth century, the region known as Charcas came under Spanish colonial rule and is now known as Bolivia. Concerns over Spain’s ability to administer the area when it came under siege from France under Napoleon Bonaparte during the Peninsular War initially sparked the demand for self-governance. Even many who desired independence remained loyal to the King of Spain. The Chuquisaca (modern-day Sucre) Revolution, which took place on May 25, 1809, is referred to in Bolivia as the “Primer Grito Libertario” (the first shout of freedom).

This resulted in the 16-year-long Bolivian War of Independence. Finally, the Colonial armies route, and on August 6th, 1825, Bolivia declared its independence. To honor Simón Bolvar’s leadership in the Venezuelan independence movement, Charcas renames Bolivia. It’s interesting to note that while deciding which path Charcas should take after achieving independence from Spain, Bolivar reportedly supported a union with Peru and that calling Bolivia after he was a ruse to get him to consent to the foundation of a newly independent country.
