 AllRefer.com - Venezuela Claims (Venezuelan History) - Encyclopedia
In 1902, due to civil strife and to gross mismanagement during the administration of Cipriano Castro, Venezuelan finances were chaotic.
Great Britain, Germany, and Italy were determined to seek redress for unpaid loans and sent a joint naval expedition to the Venezuelan coast; seaports were blockaded and shelled by German and British vessels, and Venezuelan gunboats were captured.
The claims were adjusted at Caracas in 1903, but further complications arose as to whether Venezuela should pay off the debts owed to the blockading powers before settling the claims of neutral nations; in 1904 the Hague Tribunal decided in favor of the blockading powers.

Castro said an appeal for her expulsion had been raised with him several years ago by a woman who was both "a friend of Cuba" and a friend of former President Clinton.
Castro suggested that the action was meant to divert attention from Cuba's demand that U.S. officials arrest Luis Posada Carriles, who is wanted in Venezuela on charges of involvement in blowing up a civilian Cuban jetliner in 1976, killing 73 people.
Castro and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have railed at US President George W. Bush arguing his "war on terror" is a farce if the United States gives asylum to the fugitive Posada Carriles.
