Yes, the correct answer is C, D, and E. Simon Bolivar played a crucial role in helping several countries gain independence from Spain. To arrive at the answer, we can analyze each option individually:
A. Haiti: Simon Bolivar did not play a significant role in Haiti's fight for independence from France, so this option is not correct.
B. Mexico: Simon Bolivar did not participate in Mexico's struggle for independence from Spain led by figures such as Miguel Hidalgo and Jose Maria Morelos, so this option is not correct.
