Venezuelan Revolution

The Venezuelan Revolution of Dignity (Spanish: Revolución Venezolana de la Dignidad), commonly shortened to the Venezuelan Revolution, the Venezuelan Civil War, or the 2022 Venezuelan Coup D'état, was a series of unfortunate and violent events that lasted from Monday, August 1 to Sunday, December 25, 2022, the day the Christmas Agreement of 2022 was signed. Fighting and gun battles have been occuring throughout the country for months, and the people and military joined together, rebelled against Maduro's regime and overthrew Nicolas Maduro and replaced him with Juan Guaido.
== Background ==
Following the death of Hugo Chavez in 2013, Nicolas Maduro came to power, and people became angry. The Crisis in Venezuela was still ongoing. The literacy rate had decreased, and Venezuela became the country with the highest crime rate in the world. Sky high rate of violence, and more people living below the poverty line than anywhere else. Maduro still continued to make people adhere to Chavez's policies. Corruption is still extremely high.
Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine back in February, Ukraine and Russia agreed an 18-year nonaggression pact, and during the invasion in which China denied help from Russia, Russia betrayed China, and the SCO disbanded.
In 2021, Venezuela's secret development of nuclear weapons made Venezuela a threat in the Americas, and the US sanctioned Venezuela for it, so the other countries embargo and stop sending supplies to other countries, with the exception of Russia, Iran, Cuba and North Korea.
=== The Good Friday Massacre ===
On 15th of April 2022, Friday at 6pm, 10 colectivos entered a feast with 487 people celebrating, uninvited, and shot 2 people. They then start shooting the others and the rest run away while some are wounded. Some were arrived to the hospital. Before their arrival, some were pronounced dead already. And they were buried and cremated.
The next morning, the Interpol began to investigate to find out who the suspects were. US Spec ops and Black Ops began searching for the colectivos. The colectivos went into hiding before 3pm, the time the forces would find and hunt them down. They broke in the colectivos' hideout, and caught them. All of them, except for one, who was identified as Mauricio de Jesus, were apprehended and arrested. They failed to catch Mr de Jesus. All colectivos were sent to court, declared guilty and given 40 years in prison, in which they would be released by 2062. After days of searching for Mauricio de Jesus, he became the last one to be arrested and sent to prison.
== The Revolution ==
=== August ===
At 8:30 in the morning on the 1st of August, mass protests began to occur throughout Venezuela. To silence the protests, Nicolas Maduro implemented large-scale mass arrests. Police attempted to stop the protests, but they failed. People started storming government buildings, officially commencing the Venezuelan Revolution. Another protest broke out at San Cristobal. Days later, a government counterattack commenced at Ciudad Guyana. The US sent supplies to the Opposition.
Fighting and gun battles have occurred at Caracas, making the city a major battleground with lots of fighting between pro-Maduro and Opposition forces. Later, government and Opposition forces signed a 1 month ceasefire.
=== September ===
Fighting has broke out once again. Opposition forces began advancing to Marcaibo. Some weeks later, the Battle of Marcaibo began. Marcaibo was captured and fell to Opposition forces just under 2 days, and now they are ready to reach Ciudad Bolivar.
Just before Opposition forces could reach Rio Orinoco, pro-Maduro forces set up defences on the river, and were able to hold off the advancing Opposition forces. Since the Opposition forces couldn't cross the Rio Orinoco river, they call the US, Colombia and Brazil for help. The 3 countries accept.
=== October ===
US forces landed off the coast of Falcon, and Colombian troops crossed the Venezuelan border. Brazilian military occupied Amazonas. The Battle of Puerto Ayacucho began. Most government forces have been surrounded by the 85th Division and many battallions fighting pro-Maduro forces in Bolivar and Amazonas.
=== November-December ===
Most government forces have been exhausted from the war, so they sign a 2 week ceasefire. After 2 weeks, fighting would break out for the final time.
On the 2nd of December, the fighting had resumed for the last time. Before Caracas would be besieged, Nicolas Maduro and his followers fled to El Dorado and vowed to never surrender. Caracas was then captured, and an interim government was made, initiating the dissolution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. After the fall of Caracas, the Venezuelan government dissolved, marking the end of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the sun rising on the 2nd Republic of Venezuela, a pro-Western democracy.
On the 25th of December, the Christmas agreement was signed between the 2nd Venezuelan Republic and the Maduro loyalists. Then, all Maduro loyalists were executed, and Nicolas Maduro was arrested and shot dead days later.
== Aftermath ==
With the end of Maduro's regime, the crime rate of Venezuela began to rapidly decline, but it was still war-torn from the civil war. As the crime rate of Venezuela begins to decline, Papua New Guinea becomes the country with the highest crime rate in the world, and earning the title 'country with the highest crime rate in the world'. After Maduro's death, his followers fled to Cuba because it is an anti-Western country in the Americas, like Nicaragua.
