Hugo Chávez

the leftist president of Venezuela from 1999 until his death in 2013. Chávez first came to national attention as an army officer when he led a failed coup d’état in 1992. After running for president on a socialist platform, he restructured the economy, increased social spending, pursued regional cooperation with leaders sympathetic to his ideology, and expressed vehement anti-American views.
