The accurate answer is:
- He led a successful armed revolution against the imperial control of Spain.
C is the correct answer: Simón Bolívar led a successful armed revolution against the imperial control of Spain in South America during the 19th century.
To get to this answer, you can use a combination of historical knowledge and process of elimination.
First, let's analyze each option:
Option A: Simón Bolívar did not lead an invasion of the Aztec empire in present-day Mexico. The Aztec empire fell to Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés in the 16th century, long before Bolívar's time.
Option B: Simón Bolívar also did not lead an invasion of the Mayan empire in present-day Peru. The Mayan civilization was primarily located in present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador, not Peru.
Option D: Simón Bolívar did not lead a successful armed revolution against the imperial control of Portugal. Portugal did not have significant imperial control over South America during the 19th century. Brazil was a Portuguese colony until it gained independence through peaceful means in 1822, rather than through a revolution led by Bolívar.
Therefore, option C is the most accurate statement. Simón Bolívar is often referred to as "The Liberator" for his instrumental role in leading several countries in South America to achieve independence from Spanish rule. His military campaigns and political leadership were crucial in achieving independence for countries like Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
