Politics and political participation in Bolivia - Statistics & Facts
On August 6th, 1825, after 16 years of war led by Simon Bolivar, Bolivia became independent from the Spanish crown. However, democracy would not arrive in the Latin American country until 1982, when the Bolivian people were able to overthrow the military regime of General Guido Vildoso and install a government led by Hernán Siles Suazo.
