Caracazo
The ''Caracazo'' or ''sacudón'' is the name given to the wave of protests, riots, looting, shootings and massacres〔.〕 that began on 27 February 1989 in the Venezuelan capital Caracas and surrounding towns. The week-long clashes resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people, thousands by some accounts, most at the hands of security forces and the military.〔〔UN, VENEZUELA: Wound Still Gaping 20 Years after ‘Caracazo’, By Humberto Márquez, CARACAS, Feb 27 2009 (IPS),http://www.ipsnews.net/2009/02/venezuela-wound-still-gaping-20-years-after-lsquocaracazorsquo/〕〔Amnesty International, March 1990, Reports of Arbitrary Killings and Torture:, February/March 1989 , AI Index: AMR 53/02/90, http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/AMR53/002/1991/en/4e4929fa-ee43-11dd-99b6-630c5239b672/amr530021991en.pdf〕 The riots and protests began mainly in response to the government's economic reforms and the resulting increase in the price of gasoline and transportation.〔
==Etymology==
The word ''Caracazo'' is the name of the city plus the ''-azo'' suffix, which denotes a violent knock. Its translation could therefore be "the Caracas smash" or "the big one in Caracas". The name was inspired by the ''Bogotazo'', a massive riot in neighboring Colombia in 1948 that played a pivotal role in that country's history. ''Sacudón'' is from ''sacudir'' "to shake", and therefore means something along the lines of "the day that shook the country" (see Spanish nouns: Other suffixes.)
The words are pronounced (:kaɾaˈkaso) and (:sakuˈðon), respectively.
