Description
 
Sebastián Francisco de Miranda y Rodríguez (commonly known as Francisco de Miranda March 28, 1750 – July 14, 1816) was a Venezuelan revolutionary whose own plan for the independence of the Spanish American colonies failed, but he is regarded as a forerunner of Simón Bolívar, who during the South American wars of independence successfully liberated a vast portion of South America.

Miranda led a romantic and adventurous life. An idealist, he developed a visionary plan to liberate and unify all of Spanish America. His end was the one of a tragic figure: his own military initiatives on behalf of an independent Spanish America failed in 1812, he was handed over to his enemies, and four years later he died in a lonely prison dungeon in Spain. Within fourteen years of his death, however, most of Spanish America was independent.
