Whose capture allowed for Miranda's arrest by Spanish authorities in 1812?

  • Simón Bolívar

  • Miranda’s own capitulation

  • Pedro Camejo

  • Manuel Piar

Answer

Miranda's arrest in 1812 by Spanish authorities in La Guaira, Venezuela, was facilitated by his own capitulation. Having surrendered to the Spanish forces under the promise of safe passage, Miranda's trust proved misplaced as he was subsequently detained and imprisoned. This betrayal by the Spanish led to the end of Miranda's expedition and dashed the hopes of independence for Venezuela at that time.
