1964 Bolivian coup d'état

1964 Bolivian coup d'état in Bolivia was a coup under the leadership of Vice-president René Barrientos and Bolivian Army commander-in-chief Alfredo Ovando Candía against the President Víctor Paz Estenssoro, leader of the Bolivian National Revolution of 1952, who recently had been re-elected for his third term in office.

There are those who label the November 4th coup as a counterrevolution. Both Barrientos and Ovando called their coup process a "Restorative Revolution", alleging a continuation of the 1952 Revolution. The fall of the MNR would begin an 18-year period of military regimes in Bolivia (1964-1982).
