From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Venezuelan's Independence was the juridical-political process with the purpose of breaking the ties that existed between the Captaincy General of Venezuela (Spanish: Capitanía General de Venezuela)[1] and the Spanish Empire.[2][3] It also meant that the replacement of the absolute monarchy[4][5] by the republic[6][7] as the form of government in Venezuela.[8]
The Venezuelan's Independence produced the armed conflict known as the Venezuelan War of Independence[9] between the pro-independence (Spanish: patriota)[10] and royalist (Spanish: realista)[11][12] armies.
On 5 July 1811, seven of the ten provinces of the Captaincy General of Venezuela declared their independence, the anniversary of this declaration is celebrated as Independence Day.[13] On that date, formally through the document "Venezuelan Declaration of Independence",[14][15]through which Venezuelans made the decision to separate from the Spanish Crown. The patriotic society[16] integrated by Simón Bolívar[17][18] and Francisco de Miranda[19] and others, was the pioneer in the impulse of the separation of Venezuela from the Spanish crown.[20]
The historical period between 1810 and 1830 has been divided by Venezuelan historiography into four parts: First Republic (1810-1812)[21], Second Republic (1813-1814)[22], Third Republic (1817-1819)[23] and Gran Colombia (1819-1830)[24][25][26].
