Abstract

The Republic of Venezuela was formed in 1830 after amicable secession from the other members of the Republic of Colombia. The vigorous efforts of General Juan Vicente Gómez have given Venezuela considerable freedom from factional strife. He was President from 1909 to 1915 and again from 1922 to 1929, when he retired, but, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army, retained a firm control. A military uprising in April, 1931, led General Gómez to resume the reins ; Congress demanded the resignation of President Pérez on June 14, 1931,and unanimously elected General Gómez President and Commander-in-Chief of the Army. The Constitution in force is that of May 29, 1929, modified July 7, 1931.
