Venezuelan Revolution

The Venezuelan Revolution refers broadly to a series of political and social movements in Venezuela aimed at challenging traditional power structures and promoting a more equitable society. This includes the rise of Hugo Chávez in the late 1990s, who sought to implement socialist policies, reduce poverty, and increase government control over the economy, especially oil resources. Chávez's leadership sparked significant support as well as intense opposition, leading to political turmoil and economic challenges. The revolution reflects ongoing struggles over governance, social justice, and national identity within a country rich in natural resources yet facing deep economic and political crises.
