5.Bolivia is the poorest country in South America.
6.Zoos are a popular attraction, with a diverse population of interesting creatures, but with lack of proper funding.
7.The territory now known as Bolivia was called "Upper Peru" and was under the authority of the Viceroy of Lima.
8. Bolivia's weakness was demonstrated during the War of the Pacific (1879–83), during which it lost its access to the sea, and the adjoining rich nitrate fields, together with the port of Antofagasta, to Chile.
9.Elections in 1979 and 1981 were inconclusive and marked by fraud.
10.The state also used selective martial law to keep the disruptions caused by the teachers to a minimum.
11.The 2005 Bolivian presidential election was held on December 18, 2005. The two main candidates were Juan Evo Morales Ayma of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) Party, and Jorge Quiroga, leader of the Democratic and Social Power (PODEMOS) Party and former head of the Acción Democrática Nacionalista (ADN) Party.
12.In January 2007 a clash between middle class city dwellers and poorer rural campesinos left 2 dead and over 130 injured in the central city of Cochabamba.

15.The Bolivian military comprises three branches: an Army, Navy and Air Force. The legal age for voluntary admissions is 18; however, when the numbers are small the government recruits anyone as young as 14[7]. It is estimated that 20% of the Bolivian army is between the ages 14 and 16 while another 20% is from 16 to 18. The tour of duty is generally 12 months. The Bolivian government annually spends $130 million on defense.[8]
16.Bolivia’s current lackluster economic situation can be linked to several factors from the past two decades.
17.Bolivian exports were $1.3 billion in 2002, from a low of $652 million in 1991.
18.Bolivia is a member of the Andean Community and enjoys nominally free trade with other member countries (Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela.)
19.Bolivia's ethnic distribution is estimated to be 30% Quechua-speaking and 25% Aymara-speaking Amerindians.
