For centuries the indigenous peoples of Venezuela lived by farming but also by hunting and fishing. Then in 1498 Christopher Columbus became the first European to reach Venezuela. In 1499 a Spaniard named Alonso de Ojeda led another expedition to the area. He called it Venezuela, meaning little Venice, after seeing huts on stilts. The Spanish founded their first town in Venezuela in 1521. They also began importing African slaves. However Venezuela was relatively unimportant to the Spanish.

On 5 July 1811 a national assembly declared Venezuela independent. However it was short lived. After a year Spanish forces were in control once again. Venezuela was finally liberated by Simon Bolivar in 1821. At first Venezuela was joined with Colombia and Ecuador as part of a state called Gran Colombia. However Gran Colombia soon broke up and Venezuela became completely independent in 1830.

During the 19th century Venezuela was ruled by military dictators called Caudillos. The first was José Antonio Paez. He ruled Venezuela until 1848. Venezuela then suffered civil wars. General Antonio Guzmán Blanco was caudillo from 1870-1888 and he restored order.

However in 1902 Venezuela failed to pay interest on loans from Britain, Germany and Italy. As a result those 3 nations sent their navies to blockade Venezuelan ports. However in 1914 oil was discovered in Venezuela. Oil became Venezuela's most important export. Then in 1945 a dictator was overthrown and the interim government promised to hold elections. A new constitution was introduced in Venezuela in 1947 and elections were held. However a coup took place in 1948. Marcos Pérez Jiménez became dictator of Venezuela. He was overthrown in turn in 1958.
