NOTE: This version of the video is outdated. Due to a mix-up during production pipeline, an old (unproofed) version of several art slides was uploaded instead of the final version. We fixed the episode after posting the early access link here on Patreon, which means there is now a new version of both the post and the video. This Patreon post will remain up; the video links will be removed from YouTube after a few days so those of you who enjoy "Before/After" comparisons can knock yourselves out. ;)

Enjoy early access to the fourth episode of the Simón Bolívar  series!

Simón Bolívar - IV: Defeat is Not Surrender - Extra History

Failure had taught Simon Bolivar one important lesson: no one state in Spanish South America could find independence alone. To succeed, he needed to form one great state, united and able to stand up to the might of Spain.

What is going on with that map?!

Wow that skipped a lot, I though there will be at least some mentioning of the other Libertadores that helped, like Francisco de Paula Santander, and Jose Antonio Paez.

The wrong (unproofed) version of the file got into the production pipeline and stamped final. We're still scrambling together the fix, which it actually looks like we may have ready soon. Meanwhile, my power got knocked out so I'm racing the clock on my dwindling laptop battery and siphoning data from my very limited phone plan. This is gonna be one of those stories that is pretty funny... in the future, when I look back on it. :P

I'm afraid that when it's a history you're super familiar with, Extra History is always going to seem like it's missing a lot of details. That's because the show is intended to be an introduction or overview; this particular set goes the full 6 episodes and we put in as much as we could, but you would need a lot longer for the full history. If you remember when we teamed up with Mike Duncan (History of Rome/Revolutions podcast) at the end of the Gracchi Brothers series, you might enjoy his podcast where he DOES go into much more detail and will probably talk more about the other Libertadores! That said, Santander actually does get a short cameo at the start of this, but it was one of the art errors (see my post just above this) that we needed to fix. It is also one of the moments when he is opposing Bolívar and being as this series is Bolívar's perspective, I won't claim he comes off *well* in this particular cameo. Nevertheless, he is now in the new version!
