Berrios Alexis Berrios, who studied history at the Universidad de Los Andes, ULA, Venezuela, with expertise Teaching in Higher Education at the University Rafael Urdaneta and teachers of this university and professor at the Simon Rodriguez, is the idea that Cipriano Castro had a position consequence of the Bolivarian nationalist influence, as developed in its publication "Cipriano Castro against imperialism", he edited the Editorial Tropykos Fund in 1996.
In that sense, explained his view to say his approach by saying that "... we argue that, because knowing about their literary reviews we define the attachment and admiration he felt the general always for the exploits tachirense deployed by the Liberator over the independence movement. "
Mimicking Simón Bolívar
Consider this Castro had a special teacher Admirable Campaign interest by the American hero, to the point that "... perhaps he remained in his mind until the day of his death. Hence the emulation to Simon Bolivar, and, indeed, his departure with a retinue consisting of primitive man and without a coherent programming, whose objective would be to face the national army from the far reaches of the Andes to the city where he was the Capitol , in the same way as he did the Father of the Fatherland. "
Reaffirms the historian, "... that the anti-imperialist notion of Cipriano Castro also shines the light of the Liberator, and follows reading of the work of Edward White entitled Venezuela heroic. Moreover, it is directly related to the futuristic predictions of Bolivar, particularly when defending the Venezuelan territory of foreign aggression and this is expressed here:
Much of our territory has been usurped Guiana by the British adventurer, and at such attack, Venezuelans resource we have no other worthy and successful outcome to the process of being made as are our relations with that nationality (1).
And still Berrios Berrios:
Sign to the foreign invader
"To this point -14 June 1890 - Cipriano Castro has vision, although intuitively about the word sovereignty, that is, understands that the industrialized countries seek to annex territories to their economic negotiations and that is why calls the national government to stand firm against foreign invaders, defending the homeland on the basis of clear arguments. We could say that this is the first advocate of Cipriano Castro regarding the Venezuelan geography. But read the subsequent approach to clarify the situation:
A glorious memories of this day anniversary of our independence, are Bolivar and his work associates and their famous seer's prophecies, where in his last days recommended by the union as intelligent and wise formula to pave the way forward we should move the heirs of his glory and sublime efforts. Of all these memories, which stands today in our dusty memory of patriots like the silent sphinx in the desert, which presents a predictable and wise Bolivar, reading from his deathbed with a prophetic voice the story of our misfortunes future (2).
The desire for glory
"It is easy to appreciate, it is the integration of Latin America to achieve prosperity raucous forging a continent with common interests and well-defined, that is, a self-determined hemisphere.
Anselmo Amado describes why hard:
... To tackle them, Castro is felt in the soul is to unite Latin America. It (sic) otherwise we will plunder without mercy. The rhetoric is anti-imperialism with anti-clericalism, the worship of the Great Colombia and the desire for glory, one of the most pronounced features in the political personality of Cipriano Castro. (3)
Berrios Berrios historian wishes to reaffirm the status of anti-imperialist Cipriano Castro “…en el instante que el departamento de Panamá toma la decisión de constituirse en Estado Independiente. Castro envía una epístola felicitando al gobierno del istmo por la resolución tomada y le asoma las posibilidades de poner en marcha relaciones de amistad ratificándole su admiración por el deseo que tiene el pueblo panameño de convertirse en una república libre y soberana”.
(A nuestro entender, su punto de vista en torno a la decisión del Departamento de Panamá – perteneciente a la república de Colombia- de constituir una república libre y soberana, no permite reafirmar la condición anti-imperialista de Castro, por cuanto, es known in history, who was intrigued and sponsoring such a separation, was the U.S. government with the right business. Later, we built the Panama Canal).
Anarchy has stuck its claws
Later, the author of Cipriano Castro from Imperialism adds
"But there is another reason that underscores the dominance of the Bolivarian ideal of individuality Cipriano Castro, and his penchant for the welfare of the Venezuelan masses in the late nineteenth century, suffered the rigors of Acracia spread in the country as a result civil wars. So, is expressed in the following excerpt:
Anarchy has stuck its claws into the bowels of the country, but I strangle this anarchy in the rings of my energies, and Bolivar will receive a new feel to the many who have immortalized enlightened genius, parental redeemed for new and terrible calamities, steadily continue his career of greatness, and the men chosen by Providence to these human endeavors we have fulfilled our duty (4).
