  • Resumen

  • On April 11, 2002, a massacre occurred on the streets of Caracas, Venezuela, as rebelling officers and members of the country’s Chamber of Commerce attempted a coup against the democratically elected president Hugo Chavez. The coup lasted just two days.

    The people were not having it. Chavez supporters descended from the hillsides of the poorest communities across Caracas and amassed outside of Miraflores, the presidential palace. They refused to recognize the de facto government.

    On April 13, Chavez’s presidential guard expelled the coup leaders and returned Chavez to power. Pressure from both the people and loyal military forces led to the collapse of the coup government. The people and the military united together to defend their democratically elected leader.
