Quick Summary

The Federal Revolution of 1899 in Bolivia was primarily a power struggle between the Liberal and Conservative parties. The Liberal party, which had strength in La Paz, ultimately gained control from the Conservatives, whose power base was tied to the Chuquisaca elite. This revolution led to the transfer of national government institutions from Sucre to La Paz. The Liberal rule that followed, from 1899 to 1920, focused on resolving border disputes and expanding the country's communication network, particularly through railroad construction.12
