The ENTIRE History of Venezuela: From Chávez to the Fall of Maduro

Venezuela had the strongest economy in South America in 1998 — and one of the fastest, strangest national collapses in modern history followed. From Hugo Chávez's rise out of a failed coup, through the oil-fueled Bolivarian Revolution, to hyperinflation, the exodus of eight million people, a disputed election, and a U.S. military raid that ended with Nicolás Maduro in a New York jail cell — this is the full story of how it happened. This video covers real, documented history using verified sources. Some interpretations of contested events (election disputes, the legality of the January 2026 U.S. operation) are noted as such rather than presented as settled fact. #venezuela #hugochávez #nicolasmaduro
