Simón Bolívar - Bolívar was given a military command in Tunja

Time: 1813

Place: Tunja, New Granada (modern-day Colombia)

Details: It must be said, though, that Bolívar protested to the Spanish authorities about the reasons why he handled Miranda, insisting that he was not lending a service to the Crown but punishing a defector. In 1813, he was given a military command in Tunja, New Granada (modern-day Colombia), under the direction of the Congress of United Provinces of New Granada, which had formed out of the juntas established in 1810.
