This article reflects on caudillismo in the republican history of Venezuela. First, it analyzes the principal caudillos who fought in the war of independence, highlighting the leadership of José Tomás Boves in the popular rebellion of 1814. Then, it examines the role of caudillos in the popular insurrections of the post-independence period through the Federal War (1859-1863), principally the role of Ezequiel Zamora in the leadership of the peasant insurrections of that period. Finally, it presents an analysis of the role of Hugo Chávez Frías as the caudillo of the Bolivarian Revolution and its implications for the continuity of that process after his death.Downloads
