Bolivian National Revolution

The nationalist, anti-oligarchic, pro-labor National Revolutionary Movement (MNR) staged a revolt after winning elections in 1951. Once in power, they passed universal suffrage, sweeping land reforms, promoted rural education, and nationalized some large tin mines. They also attempted to integrate the Aymara and Quechua majority into the polity, something never before attempted. In 1964, a military coup took them out of power.
