Venezuela Independence Day is celebrated annually on July 5, commemorating its history
as the first independent country in South America. Today we remember
Venezuela’s role as a leader of popular resistance and the Latin American
independence movement. A day to honour visionaries such as Simón Bolívar and
Francisco de Miranda, whose bravery flew in the face of the mighty Spanish
empire. Songs, legends, and shrines still abound in their name. Despite
unspeakable violence and atrocities on both sides, the patriots secured
Venezuelan independence in 1821 after decades of resistance.
