Cipriano Castro by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Cipriano Castro and Juan Vicente Gómez were presidents of Venezuela in the early 20th century. Castro ruled from 1899 to 1908, seeking to boost the coffee economy and settle the external debt. However, his imprisonment of bankers earned him political enemies. Gómez ruled from 1908 to 1935 in a dictatorial manner, carrying out important public works but with high levels of illiteracy. Both dealt with a predominantly rural population that was socially divided between classes.
