Reforms" tried to give the country

some stability. After the war with

independence from the Spanish in

South America. He wanted to

create a union of states but faced

heavy internal opposition. Bolívar

declared himself dictator in 1828

internationalism is a political and cultural movement that advocates for greater political and economic cooperation among nations for mutual benefit. this novimiento was transformed over time, today it includes military intervention in international conflicts with the objective of maintaining peace. the advantage of this move is in the international contacts and the influence developed by the country that carries it forward.

between the two modes of relations between states, i prefer the first, since i believe it is of the utmost importance to satisfy the needs of citizens and work for their development and as a last option to act on the international level.
