In 1880, coal powered a steam engine attached to the world's first electric generator. Thomas Edison's plant in New York City provided the first electric light to Wall Street financiers and the New York Times.Only a year later, the world's first hydroelectric plant went on-line in Appleton, Wisconsin.By the late 1800s, a new form of fuel was catching on: petroleum.With the low-cost automobile and the spread of electricity, our society's energy use changed forever. Power plants became larger and larger, until we had massive coal plants and hydroelectric dams. Power lines extended hundreds of miles between cities, bringing electricity to rural areas during the Great Depression.(this is just a brief description)

How will chavez's legacy be viewed in the history or Venezuela
german

Chavez's legacy in Venezuela can be viewed in two totally contrasting ways, depending on who will be writing the history.

Explanation:

Hugo Chavez was one of the last communist leaders in the world, led by communism, which unlike the majority of the communist leaders, actually had a lot of support by the people. He was leader of Venezuela for long time, and his reign was only ended because he died. As a typical communist leader, Chavez wanted to have everything under control, including the resources of the country, eliminating and suppressing any opposition, and trying to make the country as self-sustaining as possible.

The majority of the people supported him, and one of the main reasons for that was that he openly opposed the United States and the corporations, and nationalized the oil and natural gas reserves. The people of Venezuela had very bad feelings for the United States because of their interference in their country, and Chavez used it to the maximum.

When future history books are written, how would Chavez be interpreted will depended mostly on who will write the history books, as well as the political climate in the country. It can range anywhere from portraying him as national hero that protected the country, its interest, and was beloved by the people, to a brutal tyrant that isolated the country, suppressed the people, and made Venezuela stagnate.
