On December 20 1943, the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement# led a military coupof and supported Gualberto Villarroel as the president of Bolivia. The most prominent figure of the party was the Minister of Economy, Víctor Paz Estenssoro and Juan Lechín, sub-prefect of the city of Catavi. On July 21 1946, there was a another military coup, but now against the government of Villarroel. He was assassinated and lynched in downtown of La Paz.

Villarroel had intentions of fighting US imperialism, but such desire was with the purpose of putting pressure to the US to take advantage for the national economy in order to satisfy the necessities of the Bolivian State, which was in bankruptcy.# His anti-imperialist purpose was reflected upon the mobilization of the working class, which Villarroel used it to defend himself from the feudal-bourgeoisie.# Regardless of Villarroel´s intentions, he did not nationalize any

By 1953, the process of the Bolivian revolution was neutralized by the US with the visit of Eisenhower. At this time, it was signed the “compendium of economical assistance” in which Bolivia would receive subsidies and agricultural exceeding from the US. In exchange, the MNR abandoned completely the nationalist politic. Since 1955, Bolivia started to give concession to US enterprises for the exploitation of the soil.#

In less than four months, after the death of president Villarroel, on November 1946, the Miners Federation met in Pulacayo to discuss the orientation of the Miners Union Federation (FSTMB). There were two important political parties that were involved in the meeting, the Partido Obrero Revolucionario, POR# -with Trotskyite influence- and the MNR. By this time, Lechín# was chosen as Executive Secretary of the Federación Sindical de los Trabajadores Mineros de Bolivia. In this meeting, the two parties approved unanimously the thesis that was later known as La Tesis de Pulacayo, which was presented by the Trotskyite members of the POR, and created by Guillermo Lora, director of the Revolutionay Workers Party. La tesis de Pulacayo figured as a true revolutionary program for the working class, and it became the most important achievement of the proletarian in Latin America.# For the first time, in Latin America, the program of Trotskyism transcended the small groups and it materialized in Bolivia through the miners.

On April 17 of the same year, the Condeferación Obrera de Bolivia -COB, was founded. At the same time, the workers were putting pressure on the government for the nationalization of the mines and a program for agrarian reform. Land was given at the beginning of the year, but the title process became eternal owing to a series of bureaucratic measures implemented by the government. That, in consequence, only benefited to the fifth part of the rural population. As for the nationalization of the mines, it was not of big help, since Bolivia still depended on the US and British tin foundry.
