South America 1903: Second Venezuela Crisis (17 Jan 1903) http://omniatlas.com/maps/southamerica/19030117/ Following Venezuela's refusal to pay its foreign debts, Britain, Germany, and Italy blockaded the country in late 1902, seizing most of the Venezuelan navy. The United States at first accepted this action but was antagonized when the Germans escalated the intervention by bombarding Fort San Carlos. Under US pressure, the two sides agreed to a compromise and the Europeans withdrew. #southamerica #history #welovemaps #1900s #1903 #acrestate #argentina #bolivia #brazil #centralamerica #chile #germany #uk #italy #january #january17 #maps #panama #southamerica #unitedstates #venezuela (at Fort San Carlos, Zulia, Venezuela)
