Venezuela (Atlantic Resolve)

Venezuela (also known as the Republic of Venezuela) is a country in Latin America consisting of the northern portion of South America. Before the Venezuelan Civil War, it was known as the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (1999 - 2019)
Following the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s and 1990s, the Venezuelan government responded to the crisis with austerity and privatization measures. These neoliberal policies implemented by Rafael Caldera would lead to the rise of Hugo Chavez in what would be known as the Bolivarian Revolution which saw the implementation of many left wing policies. Following the death of Hugo Chavez in 2013, Nicholas Maduro would continue the Bolivarian Revolution until his overthrow in the Venezuelan Civil War in 2019.

Venezuelan Involvement in World War 3 (2016-2017)
With Nicholas Maduro being aligned with Russia and the anti-western coalition, the Venezuelan government would assist Russia in World War 3 by sending military supplies, leasing Venezuelan oil, and sending volunteers to fight in the front. This would sour the relations between the United States and Venezuela, leading to the Obama administration placing sanctions on Venezuela which would cripple the Venezuelan economy and lead to widespread famine, setting the scene for the Venezuelan Civil War.
