US foreign aid to Bolivia during the period 1952 -- 64 helped transform the Bolivian Revolutionary Nat'list Movement (MNR) from a radical popular front to an ally of the US aid mission to an isolated gov toppled by a military coup. In 1952 a popular uprising during an econ crisis ousted the Rc of tin barons & latifundios & brought to power a coalition of rightist reformers (seeking to establish bourgeois democracy), pragmatic nat'lists, (advocating "modernization") & revolutionary socialists (committed to a worker-peasant gov). The actual direction of development efforts in Bolivia, the poorest nation in Latin America, was largely controlled & channeled by US foreign aid, not by popular support for alternative programs or internal pol'al power struggles. US leverage took the following forms: (1) expropriated mineowners had to be compensated for their losses, (2) aid from socialist countries or the UN had to be refused, (3) Bolivian petroleum codes, written by Amer's, had to provide for large depletion allowances, (4) a favorable investment climate for foreign investors in a free market had to be created. These policies split the coalition gov & paved the way for a rightist coup by a military junta in 1964. In retrospect then, US pre-conditions for foreign aid & the econ control that resulted from the specific nature of the aid distorted & redirected the Bolivian revolution, from socialist exp'tion to capitalist development, which under pressure hardened into US supported militarism as "the only non-Communist force with the necessary power & experience to control the country."
