Venezuela has suffered a violent history of coups and revolutions since independence from Spain in 1821. Economic stress and a corrupt government have provoked more
civilian riots and political coups in recent years.

There is freedom of religion, but the Catholic Church has a strong influence, sometimes causing difficulties for foreign missions, especially among the indigenous Amerindians. The capital, Caracas, is one of the most spiritually needy sections of the Venezuela.
