Venezuela was once the wealthiest nation in Latin America, its economy built on the world's largest oil reserves. Today, it is a byword for collapse: hyperinflation, mass emigration, and a humanitarian crisis. The Story of Venezuela: Oil, Power, and Collapse traces this dizzying arc from the colonial era to the present. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the rise of the oil industry under Juan Vicente Gómez, the dictatorship of Marcos Pérez Jiménez, the oil boom of the 1970s, and the Chavez and Maduro eras. They explore the origins of the nation's deep inequality, the impact of Dutch disease, and the cycles of populism and repression. Key episodes cover the sinking of the USS Maine in 1898 (which involved Venezuelan waters), the 1902-03 blockade by European powers, the formation of OPEC, the Caracazo riots of 1989, the attempted coups of 1992, and the 2014-2019 protests. The show also examines the role of the military, the oil strikes of 2002-2003, and the legacy of Simón Bolívar. By weaving together economics, geopolitics, and human stories, this show offers a gripping explanation of how a nation with the world's largest proven oil reserves ended up in ruins. No simple answers, just a deep dive into a tragedy that continues to unfold. #Venezuela #OilHistory #PetroState #HugoChavez #NicolasMaduro #OPEC #JuanVicenteGomez #MarcosPerezJimenez #SimonBolivar #Caracazo #DutchDisease #LatinAmericanHistory #ResourceCurse #Collapse #Populism #WorldHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Venezuela 1813: Bolívar's Admirable Campaign and the War to the Death

    Venezuela 1813: Bolívar's Admirable Campaign and the War to the Death
    2026/07/21
    In 1813, Simón Bolívar launched one of the most audacious military campaigns in South American history. After the fall of the First Republic, he fled to New Granada, where he secured support from the independent government of Cartagena. With a small army of fewer than a thousand men, he crossed the Andes, defeated royalist forces in six battles, and liberated Caracas in just five months. But the campaign was marred by Bolívar's infamous Decree of War to the Death, which ordered the execution of all Spanish prisoners and Venezuelan royalists. This brutal policy aimed to terrorize the enemy but also set a bloody precedent that would haunt the independence struggle. This episode examines Bolívar's strategic genius, the key battles of Niquitao, Los Horcones, and Taguanes, and the moral complexities of a war without quarter. We also explore the role of the llaneros, the fury of the royalist commander José Tomás Boves, and how the Admirable Campaign sowed the seeds for the tragic Second Republic. #Venezuela #SimónBolívar #AdmirableCampaign #WarToTheDeath #Independence #NewGranada #Cartagena #LosHorcones #Niquitao #Taguanes #Boves #Llaneros #DecreeOfWarToTheDeath #1813 #SouthAmerica #History #FexingoHistory #MilitaryHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Venezuela 1992: The Coups That Almost Toppled a Democracy

    Venezuela 1992: The Coups That Almost Toppled a Democracy
    2026/07/21
    In 1992, Venezuela experienced not one but two coup attempts that shook the foundations of its democratic system. Lucas and Luna explore the February 4th coup led by Hugo Chávez, a lieutenant colonel whose failed rebellion made him a national figure, and the November 27th attempt by air force and navy officers. They discuss the social and economic context—the Caracazo of 1989, austerity measures, and the collapse of the Punto Fijo system—and trace how Chávez's capture and subsequent imprisonment transformed him into a political martyr. The episode examines the role of key figures like Francisco Arias Cárdenas, the Movimiento Bolivariano Revolucionario 200, and the government of Carlos Andrés Pérez. It reveals how a military uprising that failed militarily succeeded politically, setting the stage for Chávez's electoral victory six years later. #Venezuela #1992Coup #HugoChávez #Caracazo #PuntoFijo #CarlosAndrésPérez #FranciscoAriasCárdenas #MovimientoBolivariano #FexingoHistory #SouthAmerica #MilitaryCoup #Democracy #ColdWar #OilPolitics #History #Podcast #LatinAmerica #1990s Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Venezuela 1908-1935: Gómez and the Oil-Fed Dictatorship

    Venezuela 1908-1935: Gómez and the Oil-Fed Dictatorship
    2026/07/20
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the early oil era in Venezuela under the iron-fisted rule of Juan Vicente Gómez. They discuss how the dictator modernized the country using petroleum revenue while crushing dissent, the infamous La Rotunda prison, the role of the Caribbean Petroleum Company, and the foundational inefficiencies that would haunt Venezuela for decades. The conversation touches on the transition from coffee to oil, the 1922 Reventón at Los Barrosos 2, and the nascent labor movements that were brutally suppressed. This is the story of how oil built a state and shackled a people. #Venezuela #JuanVicenteGómez #OilHistory #LaRotunda #CaribbeanPetroleum #LosBarrosos2 #1922Reventón #MeneGrande #Maracaibo #Zulia #Dictatorship #Petroleum #LagoDeMaracaibo #VenezuelanHistory #FexingoHistory #LatinAmerica #SouthAmerica #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
