The regionalization of Venezuela, which began in 1969, had as its primary purpose to promote the development of the different parts that make up the country's territory in economic, social and political aspects, according to the peculiarities and resources of each area. In this way, an attempt was made to end the existing polarization between the coastal region around Caracas and the rest of Venezuela. Later, by a decree of January 14, 1980, the administrative regions of Venezuela were set at 9, according to the geographical, economic and cultural similarities of the states integrated in them.
