The striking peculiarities of the Bolivian Revolution reflect the specific ethnic, economic and political characteristics that have distinguished the dynamics of the country since the times of Spanish colonization. It would therefore be simplistic to place it carelessly in the same class of conflicts and social movements that shook neighboring nations during the same period. Understanding the particularities of the mass insurrection of 1952 in Bolivia not only allows justice to be done to important facets of history of the American subcontinent, but also provides crucial elements to explain the endemic tension that continues up to present days.
