The BBC praises and selects Simon Bolivar as the most important man of the nineteenth century. 

"At only 47 years of age he fought 472 battles, being defeated only 6 times.

The European media also emphasized that El Libertador participated in 79 major battles, with the

great risk of dying in 25 of them.

He freed 6 nations, rode 123 thousand kilometers, more than those navigated by Colon and Vasco 

de Gama united.

He was Head of State of 5 nations.

He rode with the torch of freedom the linear distance of 6,500 kilometers, which is approximately

half a turn to Earth.

He traveled 10 times more than Hannibal, 3 times more than Napoleon, and double Alexander the

Great.

His ideas of Freedom were written in 92 proclamations and 2,632 letters.

The most incredible thing is that many of them were dictated simultaneously and in different 

languages ​​to different secretaries.

And the army that commanded NEVER CONQUEST ... only RELEASED ... "

This was the argument with which the London BBC chose the Liberator Simon Bolivar as the most

prominent American of the nineteenth century.
