El Barcelonazo was an attempted coup d'état against President Rómulo Betancourt's government[1] that occurred in the Pedro María Freites Barracks in the city of Barcelona, Anzoategui State on 26 June, 1961.
Background
The military conspiracy had been discovered a month before the uprising, and on 30 May, several of those involved had been arrested by the government.[2]
Details
The military took up arms at the Pedro María Freites Barracks and the Mariño Fusiliers Battalion at dawn, but they did not have the support of other parties.[3] The government regained control and defeated the uprising. By 10:00 in the morning, the main soldiers were arrested.[citation needed]
Results
The uprising left 30 people dead, above 50 injured[1] and more than 100 arrested. Later, other movements arose in Ciudad Bolívar and La Guaira, the latter known as Guairazo, but they failed and their leaders were also arrested.[4]
