Fourth Republic of Venezuela

The Fourth Republic of Venezuela, spanning from 1958 to 1999, was a period marked by democratic governance after the fall of a military dictatorship. It began with the overthrow of dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez and featured regular elections, democratic institutions, and political stability. Despite economic growth, Venezuela faced social inequality, political challenges, and corruption. The era ended with the election of Hugo Chávez, who aimed to reshape the nation's political and economic landscape, leading to significant changes in Venezuelan governance and policies.
