yes

Answer 2

Venezuela is a country. It is a very beautiful country. It has beautiful beachs, waterlands, and Caracass is nice. Margarita Island in the caribbean is a tourist island with lots of nice resorts. It has beautiful beaches and mountains such as El Copey. Venezuela has the largest free standing waterfall, Angel Falls. Beautiful! They have desert area too.

The bad points on Venezuela is the President is stupid. He gives away all the countries resources to terrorists and murderers. He is reversing democracy in the country, stealing privately owned enterprises, and he is not helping his own countrymen. He is supporting rogue nations, terrorists, and any other country who will back communist ideals to get his country's oil money.

Anyways, country good....people good....president jerk.

Answer 3

Venezuela is located in South America.  Some people call it the Enchantment of the World.  Venezuela is home to the world’s largest waterfall and there number one natural resource is oil.  There schools are very similar to ours in the United States.  They also wear clothes that looks just like ours.  You will be surprised at how other countries can be just like us.

History

The early inhabitants of Venezuela were the Carib and Arawak indians.  The Carib indians got there name from the Caribbean Sea.  Both the indians lived in small groups and learned how to gather food, hunt, farm, and fish.  Later, the Arawak indians were forced to move out of Venezuela by other indians.

In 1522, the Spanish settled in Venezuela.  In what is now the city of Cumana, Spain established their first permanent settlement.  Over the years, the people of Venezuela didn’t like having to follow their rules so they decided to fight back.  That was the beginning of the War of Independence.  

The War of Independence began in 1811.  Venezuela was fighting against Spain for the Independence of Venezuela.  During the war, many people were killed but at the end, Venezuela had won.

After the Independence war, there was a civil war between the republicans and royalist who still wanted union with Spain.  The provinces of Coro, Valencia rebelled.  Bolivar and the other patriots continued the resistance.  Bolivar invaded Venezuela and defeated the royalist troops in many battles.  The royalists who were under command of Jose Thomas Boves marched up to Caracas and forced the republicans to flee east of the country.  In 1821, the patriots won.  The fight for independence was over.

Bolivar is considered a great leader to the people of Venezuela.  He is their hero.  President Hugo Chavez is the 61st president of Venezuela.  He was elected in 1998 and reelected in 2000 and 2006.

Today in Venezuela, the government is talking about how to use its resource to help poorer parts country.  Especially towards health education and other very important things.  Also, President Chavez is replacing all the light bulbs to more energy efficient ones.
