History

Bolivia is a very interesting country that has a long history with various wars and amazing facts. Bolivia is descendents from the great Incan empire the first great Andean empire. Although Bolivia has been around for thousands of years it has had numerous revolts and attempts at reformation which have crippled the government and to present day still has not revived. Another reason why their economy or government could never revive is because they’ve lost numerous amounts of land and other resources because of the wars they’ve been in. It seems as if that no matter how hard Bolivia tries it can’t find a way to please all of their citizens. Bolivia was under control by Spain during the 16th century to the early 19th century during Spain’s reign they forced the Indians to work mines to extract silver. (Potosí were the largest silver deposits in the western world). The only time Bolivia has had a stabile government is when the civilians took over and controlled it for fifty years. =====
