Venezuela's elite factions fail to agree on…

1852 CE to 1863 CE

Venezuela's elite factions fail to agree on a replacement for Monagas, however, precipitating twelve years of intermittent civil war so chaotic that few history texts bother to chronicle the details.

Between 1858 and 1863, local caudillos engage in a chaotic power struggle known as the Federal War because the Liberals favor federalism.

In the end, the Liberals triumph, and General Juan Crisóstomo Falcón is named president.
