Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías was the President of Venezuela in 2007. He became President of Venezuela on 1999 February 2 and served until his death from cancer on 2013 March 5.

Chávez was born to a lower-middle class working family on 1954 July 28. After joining the military at 17, he helped aid in defeating communist insurgency movements. Affected by their cause, Chávez formed a Bolivarian Revolution Army - 200 within the military. After President Carlos Andrés Pérez began cutting social spending in the early 1990's and used military force to suppress protests, Chávez attempted a coup d'etat but failed and was imprisoned. Another failed coup d'etat took place months later, but ultimately Pérez was impeached.

Chávez and the other members of the coup attempt were released by president Rafael Caldera in 1994. Chávez began to rally support for political change, touring the country. In 1997, he formed the Fifth Republic Movement political party, and was elected president in the 1998 election.

Many attempts were made to remove Chavez, including the 2002 coup d'etat, the oil strike of 2002 and the recall referendum in 2004, all of which ultimately failed. Chávez began to pursue a more socialist route of democracy. In 2007, a referendum eliminated presidential term limits, allowing Chávez to rule indefinitely. However, after being re-elected in 2012, Chavez passed away in 2013 from cancer.
