History of Bolivia

Bolivia's history is a tribal story. Bolivia has three major indigenous tribes. The Aymara mostly lived in the Altiplano and were organized into independent states. Next, there was the Quechua. The Quechua were based in southern Altiplano and were descendants of the Inca. The inca is a Last but not least the Guaraní lived in the lowlands and savanna in Santa Cruz. These are just a few of the many Indigenous tribes that inhabited Bolivia. April of 1952 was the start of the Bolivian National Revolution. The revolution was sparked when the PIR (Partido de la Izquierda Revolucionaria) wouldn't be accepted by the older parties. Between 1978 and 1982 there were 10 governments in Bolivia, including several periods of military rule. The Aymara people living in the Titicaca Basin still practice their old methods of agriculture on stepped terraces that show Incan times. Nobody knows where Lake Titicaca’s name was originally named, but Rock of the Puma or Crag of Lead are some ways to translate it. In the end, Bolivia’s history is very culturally diverse.
