	Juan Velasco Alvarado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Velasco was born on June 16, 1910 in Piura, a city on Peru's north coast.
		Velasco seized power on October 3, 1968 in a military coup, deposing the democratically-elected administration of Fernando Belaúnde Terry, in which he served.
		Economically, the Velasco administration's policies were ultimately unsuccessful; as the government-ran industrial operations grew corrupt and inefficient and drained resources, the government ran deeper into debt and was forced to devalue the currency and ran inflationary policies.

		Readers who are unfamiliar with Peruvian debate on the legacy of the Velasco years will find this part of the book fascinating; those who already know the literature are likely to be disappointed.
		On the other hand, when Stokes analyzes Velasco's role in radicalizing the labor movement (by favoring communist unions as a foil to APRA, and by forming so-called 'industrial communities' in a futile attempt to foster class conciliation), she merely repeats a story that has already been well told elsewhere.
		Velasco gave an enormous, unprecedented boost to the radical politics of reivindicacion in Peru, but he did not create those forces out of thin air.

		While not a true military man, he used the power of the military (primarily gained through appointing his nephew to be head of the Department of the Military) to establish his control over the country.
		With the military as his aide, Velasco became free to rule more or less as he pleased, which did not do the citizenry any good.

	Peru - Landlords and Peasant Revolts in the Highlands
		However, on the "Day of the Indian" (Día de la Raza--Race Day), June 24, 1969, General Juan Velasco Alvarado (president, 1968-75), head of the populist "Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces," decreed a sweeping and immediate land reform, ending serfdom and private latifundios that included the sacrosanct coastal plantations.
		Hope and expectations of the peasantry had never been higher, but the succeeding years brought back the frustration; serious problems resulted from natural disasters, the withdrawal of significant international credit and support from the United States for reform programs, bureaucratic failures, and a lack of welltrained personnel.
		After the Velasco government gave way to more conservative forces within the army in 1975, a retrenchment began.

	Bolivia Revolutionary Nationalism: Ovando and Torres - Flags, Maps, Economy, Geography, Climate, Natural Resources, ...
		Ovando hoped to gain civilian and military support with a program of "revolutionary nationalism," which he had outlined in the "Revolutionary Mandate of the Armed Forces." Revolutionary nationalism reflected the heritage and rhetoric of the military reformist regimes of the past, as well as the spirit of the 1952 Revolution.
		Even when Ovando moved right during the last months of his regime, he was unable to enlist the support of the conservative groups in the country because this move only emphasized his weakness.
		Reformist officers, concerned about the decline in popular support for the military since the Barrientos regime, shifted their support to the more radical General Juan José Torres González (1970-71), whom Ovando had dismissed as his commander in chief; the right backed General Rogelio Miranda.
