Journal from the third world

Hey, this is my very entry here on Steemit

These journal series will tell all of my life living here at a thrid world country

Venezuela

This first entry will consist on a brief story about the backrounds of Venezuela's prosperity descent

Born in 1997 during a critical political transition, Venezuela was going under heavy fire from 2 political wings, no, it weren't the left and the right wing. Bipartidism was one of the primary factors of economy's degradation. Since 1958 most political parties were left wing, regardless of their fight against guerrilla and radical comunists (leading to a bunch of dissapeared people)

1960's

The 60's were marked by the re-growth of the oil industry, steelworks and infrastructure investments

1970's

The 70's by the oil's nationalization (1976), it marked a new path for the venezuelan oil industry.

1980's

The 80's marked by currency protocols (Black Friday, 1983), excessive corruption (Jaime Lusinchi's administration) leading to a economic disruption, then, general elections came by, 1988 was the year for Carlos Andres Perez (again, first elected from 1974 to 1979), whose phrase "I have received a mortgaed country" impacted the Venezuelan population, problems came by too, then massive protests and loots all around Caracas, Venezuela's capital city, this phenomenon called "Caracazo" made a vision of how damaged were the lower classes

1990's

The 90's coming from protests, 1992 was the year for Lt. Cnel. Hugo Chavez, leading to a coup attempt twice (first attempt in february 4th, second attempt in november 27th) bringing Chavez and his "comrades" to jail

1994 under Rafael Caldera's administration (first elected from 1969 to 1974, then from 1994 to 1999) Chavez received pardon alongside with his comrades

Chavez political career took flight when he aligned with popular slums and lower classes

Then, in 1999 he got elected as president

That was the begining of the Venezuela's damnation

Expect the second entry these days, i'll be in touch with all the questions you got

See ya
