The size and intensity of the outpouring that followed would show the world, in some measure, the huge impact Chavez had had both in Venezuela and around the world.

Chavez helped bring people out of poverty, to realize they had a role to play in politics. He was the architect of 21st century socialism and kicked off a process of Latin American unification, far from U.S. domination.

After he died, millions travelled to Caracas and lined up for over 15 hours in hot Caribbean heat to say farewell. In other cities, messages covered government buildings, and homages were paid with cultural events, film showings, and nightly rallies.
