Bolivia's lithium Quandary

 In 2009, Bolivia's indigenous re-elected President Evo Morales. Morales, a former coca farmer with a modest background, represented the result of a very long and colorful political history. Bolivia and empires rise and fall, revolutions, wars, bitter territorial seen military coups and battles with multinational corporations. And then somehow all the chaos, it is a country that has managed to democratically a leader from the poorest and least empowered is part of the population. How could this happen? Professions and independence The first recorded occupation of Bolivia was the Tiwanaku culture, a population that AD 600-800 AD, the urban share has grown from a small farming village. Things were fine up to 960 AD, when a large displacement air and came drove all from the region around 1000 AD, not a good start for humanity. Next were the Incas, to expand rapidly from 1430 to 1530 AD, making elaborate road systems, irrigation, agricultural terraces and the Quechua language. The Inca expansion was so fast that the Empire was internally weak, and the Spanish do not fall much trouble when she arrived in 1532 AD. The Spanish settled in the Bolivian highlands for two decades, but had a pretty miserable time of things by bloody power struggles between the conquistadors and rebellions of the oppressed Inca. In 1548 the murder of Gonzalo Pizarro, the Spanish crown to assert its authority claims that the founding of the city of La Paz Despite a strong power over the population, continue to native resistance for the duration of Spanish rule, with more than 100 riots in 18. Century alone in Peru and Bolivia. Bolivian independence of unrest between the criollos grew Bolivian pure Spanish descent born and the peninsulares, Spaniards who had traveled from Europe to rule the colony. After the French Revolution, a group of radical criollos were motivated to join with a native Bolivian General to refuse the renewal of the Spanish Constitution of 1812. The general was eventually in conflict with the rebel armies of the sim? N defeated Bolivar and Antonio Jos? de Sucre. On 6 August 1825 Bolivia was declared independent, as the founder of Bolivar. Life without the Spanish Things had a good start in the 19th Century with Andres de Santa Cruz, but political problems arising out of a confederation between Peru and Bolivia, and before long the next 60 years was dominated by coups and short-lived governments. Other countries used, since independence, Bolivia has more than half of their land to neighbors lost in wars. In 1935, Bolivia was defeated by Paraguay in the Chaco War. This devastating blow discredited ruling classes, and the army service generates political passions in the indigenous population. The Revolutionary Nationalist Movement (MNR) emerged from the Chaco War in 1941 as a middle-class political coalition waiver of the Marxism. It was victorious in the 1951 elections, but the results were as fraudulent, was denied by the opposition and his right to the presidency. Party not to take rejection lightly, the MNR led a successful revolt on 9 April 1952, and set in motion national revolution. The reforms of the state tried in the national life to take the Aymara and Quechua peasants, the majority of the Bolivian population, a unique political positioning. Dictatorships to democracy The revolution was to have ended when a military junta overthrew the president in 1964, have dominated two decades of turbulent rule by military coups, counter-coups, and temporary governments. Finally, General Luis Garicia Meza led a violent coup in 1980 and his subsequent violations of human rights, links to drug trafficking and horrible mismanagement caused the Carter and Regan separate administrations in the United States, relations with Bolivia. To date, the United States and Bolivia are still divided. The population of the endless rage tired by the military, and the 1985 elections from Bolivian governance was democratic. Unfortunately, this era was led by the hyper inflation in a crippling annual rate of 24.000%. Social unrest, drug trafficking and chronic strikes were the norm. Impressive been achieved under the administration of the MRN within 4 years of social and economic stability was maintained and the military was firmly out of politics. The performance was a bit pissed by the collapse of tin prices in 1985, which saw 20,000 miners laid off, but the trend towards open and honest democratic process through peaceful transfer of power on. The administration in the mid 90's began an aggressive policy of privatization of state resources to Cochabamba "Water Wars" in which a multi-national group increased water rates to the point where the population protested violently, and the company was thrown out of Bolivia, resulting in an unsuccessful $ 25,000,000 lawsuit against the government. Corruption crept slowly back into the halls of Parliament, many senior politicians in the exploitation of Bolivia's large natural gas reserves were involved. After a series of violent strikes and blockades were hastily resignations of the heads of government and a full review of the Constitution and the renewal of the Parliament at the same time as a general election on 4 December 2005 to. Morales steps up Evo Morales, indigenous leader and former coca farmer, had lost in the 2002 elections following comments by U.S. Ambassador Manuel Rocha warned Bolivian voters where they could vote for the US-Morales cut off foreign aid and their markets close for the country . This attitude was no doubt of Morales' status as a former coca farmer and Bolivia's reputation as producer of one third of the world's cocaine-driven. However, he was not back in the second round and won the 2005 election by a comfortable majority with 54% of his Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) party. He was the first native president in the history of Bolivia elected. Within a year, he nationalized Bolivia's gas fields, something wanted by the local population since years. Opinions are mixed about the Morales government. Since taking power four departments in eastern Bolivia have agreed political autonomy distance themselves from the central government. However, one thing that can not be denied Morales' commitment to the indigenous population, which represent the majority in Bolivia. In terms of democratic representation and equal rights, the Bolivian government is making progress on which should take care of the rest of the world.
