Jose De San Martin

By: Juemori Davis

Jose de san martin has made major revolution in Argentina, Chile, and Spain. These revolutions have affected not only the countries but also the entire world at large.

Jose de san martin was great Argentinian leader. He was born Jose Francisco de san martin on February 25, 1778 in Yapeyu, which is in the Argentine province. With his father being the general of Argentina at the time and his mother being the niece of a conqueror, he was destined for a political future. As a child he had no real sights on his father because he was always dealing with political matters.
In his early years Jose and his family moved to Spain, where his life was destined to unfold. At the young age of just seven he was entered into the infantry regiment of Murcia. His first taste of power came during a slave revolution in Oran, North Africa. He helped to liberate that area of its slave owners because slavery was unlawful. Later attempts, by Jose, to become leader in Spain had failed greatly. With that not working out he moved back to his hometown, Buenos Aires. With a military status under his belt he was a great asset to Argentina. The First Triumvirate gave him the status of Lieutenant Colonel of cavalry. They tried him out because the cavalry had bad leaders in the past. Buenos Aires was a very weak city, and was kept under his control but his main duty was the military. When the French revolution hit, Spain and France became good allies. During this time He married a 14-year-old girl by the name of Maria de los remedios de Escalada. Jose’s lodge organized the revolution of October 8, 1812 mainly because the terms of office for the triumvirate between Manuel de Sarratea and Feliciano Chiclana had ended.
Later he went on to liberate Chile but his attempts were futile. A man named Bernard O Higgins overthrew him. He recaptured Chile when Higgins fled and by defeating the royalist commander Rafael Moroto. Moroto had 2450 men and 5

    The most renowned battle was the Battle of Pichincha, which was fought on May 24th 1822 at a total altitude of 9,000 feet. Like the victories of Boyaca and Carabobo, it also lead to independence from Spain. As the movie stated, “It guaranteed the independence of Ecuador. The Spanish surrendered 1,100 soldiers and all of their equipment.”(Simon Bolivar: The Liberator, 2000). Despite adversity after adversity and the collapse of many of the victories, he was able to do what no man could dream. Yet it wasn’t enough for him. He resigned all of his administrative posts. His greatest wish was for stability, peace and a good republican government, yet corruption and a lack of a united Latin America made him feel like a failure. Independence had not been successful and he was sick of the endless conflict that seemed to emerge. As he attempted to sail into exile for a third and final time, he died at Santa Marta at the age of 47 as a victim of tuberculosis. Perhaps what makes him truly the hero of Latin America is the fact that, despite many opportunities, he never enriched himself and truly put the countries needs ahead of his own. In a country that had been torn apart by greed in the past, he died virtually…

When Cortés finally got to the capitol, he was welcome by the reigning king of the Aztecs who went by the name Moctezuma II. The Aztec leader thought that Cortés was a god when he saw his horses and cannons. Due to his illusion that Cortés was a god, Moctezuma II lavish gifted Hernán with vast amounts of gold and invited Cortés into the heavily guarded capitol.

    Cesar Chavez was born on March 31,1927 in a small town in the north gila river valley outside Yuma Arizona. Sadly at a young age his family lost all of their land during the great depression and were forced to move to California and become migrant farm workers. When Cesar reached the 7th grade he decided that he was going to drop out of school and become a full time migrant worker to take the place of this mother because he no longer wanted his mother to suffer as a migrant worker, he worked in the fields until 1952. Soon after he became an organizer for the community service organization and continued to climb his way up the ladder until he became the president of the united farm workers of America where he led the very first successful farm workers union. All of his life he had been exposed to the horrible treatment that farm workers received and he knew that this had been going on for too long and that there needed to be a change he was also aware that the position he had of being a president was not only going to help him achieve the dream he had to stop unjust treatment on field workers but also to protect our green space by restricting the use of pesticides that were used in the fields so families living in disadvantaged communities could breathe in clean air and drink safe water. Cesar had many great characteristics that everyone can look up too, personally what I admire in him is that even after being let down several times he never gave up on what he wanted he always found inner strength within himself to keep going. My grandfather was one of the…
