Conquista Del Mundo - Venezuela Traditional Cache
skaven: Due to a total loss of the website hosting the game information, I have been forced to archive the challenge as the information to recreate is unavailable. Moreover, this will make room available for other cachers to place their caches.
I would like to thank all the cachers who took the time to participate in this challenge. I regret that the challenge could not be seen to its conclusion.

Venezuela declared its independence from Spain (July 5, 1811), beginning its wars with that country.
Spanish forces led by General Juan Monteverde defeated the Venezuelan revolutionary army, led by Francisco Miranda, which surrendered at La Victoria (July 12, 1812), effectively ending the first phase of the revolutionary war; Simon Bolivar and other revolutionary leaders fled abroad.
Returing to Venezuela, Simon Bolivar's forces defeated Juan Monteverde's Spanish army in a series of battles, taking Caracas (August 6, 1813) and besieging Monteverde at Puerto Cabello (September 1813).
Heavily reinforced Spainish forces in Venezuela lost a series of battles to Simon Bolivar's forces but decisively defeated Bolivar at La Puerta (June 15, 1814), took Caracus (July 16, 1814), and again defeated his army at Aragua (August 18, 1814), at a cost of 2,000 Spanish casualties of 10,000 engaged and most of the 3,000 in the rebel army. Bolivar then fled into exile.
With war threatening once again, who will emerge victorius?
The cache container is a typical micro container (pill canister). Please note the number on the front page of the log book. You will need the name of the territory and the number to complete the coordinates for the "South Americian Continent Cache".
