Historical States

Prior to the Federal War (1859–1863), Venezuela was divided into provinces rather than states. The victorious forces were supposed to grant more autonomy to the individual states, but this wasn't implemented.
From 1863 to the early 1900s there were numerous territorial changes, including the merger and splitting of states, but from then until the late 1990s the states were left unchanged. However, recent years have seen the creation of three new states: Delta Amacuro, Amazonas, and Vargas (in that order).
