History:
First settled by the Spanish in 1522 and soon became part of the viceroyalty of
New Granada. After several unsuccessful uprisings, the country declared
independence from Spain on July 5th 1811 under the leadership of Simón Bolívar.
New Granada's congress gave Bolívar control of the Granadian army, he then led
several countries to freedom and created a new republic called Colombia. Antonio
José de Sucre, who won many battles for Bolívar, was to become his natural
successor, until he was murdered. Venezuela became part of the Republic of Gran
Colombia until 1830, when the country separated through a rebellion led by
Jose Antonio Páez and declared itself a sovereign republic. Páez became the
first president of Venezuela.
Political instability ensued until 1958. Since then, relative democracy has
prevailed.
