Military Coup: Perón And Chavez

This will be as much a tale about the Venezuelan people as it is about a returning immigrant who knows his homeland largely from memories and media. Though my experiences have shaped my outlook, my intention is to enter the country as a neutral and impartial writer, cognizant of daily life, yet oblivious to the fiery political discourse which consumes too many discussions.

While president jackson had replaced many of his workers with supporters of him which had then become the “spoil system”. After he had given the jobs the workers had helped to make America more democratic as well. Jackson had also replaced the old causes with his own method of voting

The “Bolivarian revolution” revolves around the rise of the leftest movement which started with Hugo Chavez, and soon many other leaders rose to the occasion. The sole purpose of this movement was to help Latin America get rid of dictators and reestablish under Simon Bolivar's ideals of making Latin America not a colony but a nation for the people residing in it. Now that Chavez is dead, I believe that he was able to complete Bolivar's conquest of freeing Latin America. Now that Chavez has passed away, he has left both good and bad implications, but I believe its more good than bad. “The real opposition to Chavez is from the United States which was so angry at the way that he built up a credible alternative to the U.S. idea of free trade with

Throughout their power, Peron and Castro both had incredible impacts on their country 's economy and political aspect. However, these impacts could be seen on both a negative and positive standpoint.

As Charles Bergquist observes, "Crises in Colombia tend to generate cycles of violence instead of mutations in the political regime." The reason is simple: regime changes in Colombia tend to produce very little change in anything other than nominal rule. Since Colombia's independence from Spain in the early 19th century, Colombia has seen a series of civil wars and secessions (Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama the last coming rather conveniently at a time when the U.S. was prepared to pay millions for a canal through its nation preparation that later resulted in a multi-million dollar redress to Columbia). Colombia's political history, therefore, has been colored by outside influences pulling on the two dominant liberal and conservative parties, with violent exchanges, and long periods of instability being the consequences. While regime changes have occurred, they have not produced significant improvements. Rather, Colombia in the 20th century has become a nesting ground for paramilitary forces and drug traffickers, with U.S. Central Intelligence operatives contributing heavily to the violent conflict that has risen between regimes. This paper will examine the regime types that preceded the Rojas Pinilla regime in mid-20th century Colombia, analyze their similarities and differences, and discuss the extent to which Rojas Pinilla reached his goals and objectives.

1. After watching the Hugo Chavez documentary it is clear that the subject matter was his downfall as the republican president. Chavez was the republican president of Venezuelan from 1999 until 2013 when he pasted away from cancer. This documentary showed a lot of the not so positive posted of views on Chavez. As we discussed after class Chavez wanted to run his government as a place: for the people, by the people. This is commonly refereed to as a socialist reform for a president. Chavez could have worked if he consider all of the Venezuelan people. But it was clear that he did not consider the needs of the middle class people, which lead to his downfall as a president. Failing the middle class people was his strings downfall because these people took there feelings to the media. In doing so the media showed Chavez to the world in a negative perspective.

Vargas instituted many policies during his time. Many of which were meant to benefit Brazilian lives. The recently increasing industrialization of Brazil caused the creation of a new middle class. Vargas sought to help the workers because of this new middle class. He created many jobs because of his emphasis on industrialization. He also created minimum wages and gave women new rights in the workplace. Because of all this Vargas was given much appreciation by workers, because no leader before Vargas cared about the lives of any of these people. Even though this was great for the people a lot of these policies came at a cost. According to historian Rex A. Hudson (1998), “Despite Vargas’s pro-labor policies, reforms were never sufficient to raise

     There was a huge revolution in the country of Mexico that started in the year 1910, led by Porfirio Diaz, the president of Mexico in 1910. In the 1860’s Diaz was important to Mexican politics and then was elected president in 1877. Diaz said that he would only be president for one year and then would resign, but after four years he was re-elected as the President of Mexico. Porfirio Diaz and the Mexican revolution had a huge impact on the country of Mexico that is still felt in some places today.

I was able to understand that the author was attempting to give an extensive depiction of the conditions of Venezuela to the readers. I was bewildered to read about the situations that many Venezuelans experience. I was given a brief story of the Venezuelans at the hospital such as patients that are not able to receive the necessary treatment for their state of health. As well as a doctor who is frustrated by the lack of tools at his disposal for his patients. The author continued to interview many Venezuelans during his stay in Venezuela while keeping a low profile since the government was trying to keep any leaks from occuring. I came to have some insight of the worsening status when control went from Chavez to Maduro. Chavez was able to bring the crooked state of Venezuela to prosperity by: enriching the economy with the abundant oil found in Venezuela and maintaining a good relationship with its neighboring countries.

Evita Peron was not only an active socialist in women rights, also she strived to support the poor community and grow education in Argentine. Before Juan Peron became President of Argentine; the

Venezuela is located on the north coast of South America. It is a very interesting country, since it possesses many unique attributes and resources that other countries in the region do not. There are several different systems that represent these resources and attributes. Major Kris A. Arnold (2006) states “PMESII is (sic) military acronym listed in several joint and service publications, which evolved from a systems perspective, and equates to the political, military, economic, social, infrastructure, and information systems of states. The acronym provides a starting point for identifying key interrelated systems of an adversary and facilitates analysis and kinetic and non-kinetic targeting”. Venezuela is an especially interesting case due to the political system in place, in addition to the unique economic power that the nation has.

The average person in this country probably realizes that there are several functioning hospitals in their local community. In a crisis situation, there is at least one that is available. Venezuela's hospitals are in dire straits. The hospitals in the country lack even the most meager necessities that might include soap, water, and a bed. People are not able to get the medicine that they require to treat their illness. Often, they find it necessary to turn to the Black Market to purchase their drugs. The health crisis in the country is actually quite horrifying.

After a referendum in 1963, Brazil returned to a bureaucratic government. As Goulart’s powers increased, things became conspicuous that he would implement base reforms such as nationalization of enterprises in multiple economic districts and land reforms. He did not have parliamentary support, thus, forcing him to mobilize the working class and peasants since the core of economic nationalism in Brazil no longer appealed to the middle class. The First Institutional Act was published by coup leaders in April 1964 and this significantly limited the freedoms on the 1964 constitution. Along with this, Goulart was ousted and Castelo Branco became president. Unlike Goulart, he had no intentions of institutionalizing the military in power and wanted

When the Portuguese initially colonized this region, they employed a feudal regime, which established the general pattern of governance in Brazil that minimized social responsibility and individual rights of the general population, allowing for reigning officials to dictate the terms of development. During the 1960s Brazil went through drastic political shifts and leadership lacked the ability to establish a stable and safe environment for the citizens of Brazil. In 1964 a military coup seized control of the government and
