Analysis of the reasons for the failure of the coup
The rapid failure of this coup d'état is mainly due to several aspects. First, there were divisions within the army, and part of the officers failed to support the coup. Secondly, the rapid deprivation of command led to a tactical defeat of the coup. Moreover, President Arce's decisive response saved the situation. In addition, the involvement of external forces is also a topic worth discussing, although there is no conclusive evidence yet.
Implications at home and abroad
The failed coup d'état brought short-term political turmoil to Bolivia, but it also demonstrated the government's ability to control stability. For Latin America, this failed coup could serve as a warning to other countries to avoid similar incidents. Internationally, the attention of European and American countries to this situation also reflects the interests of major powers in Latin America. This incident has undoubtedly brought the world's attention back to China's position and influence in the international military equipment market.
