The movement, founded in 1865 by William Booth, has spread from London, England, to many parts of the world. The rapid deployment of the first Salvationists was aided by the adoption of a quasi-military command structure in 1878 when the title, âThe Salvation Armyâ, was brought into use. A similarly practical organisation today enables resources to be equally flexible.
Venezuelaâs oil production has been declining for years, going from 3.3 million barrels a day in 1997 to about 1.9 million barrels a day in 2016. Venezuela cannot afford to produce the oil it needs to sell.
The basin surrounding Lake Maracaibo is one of the major oil-producing areas of the world. Venezuelan crude oil is subsequently shipped through the port city of Maracaibo to dozens of oil-starved nations. The lake's primary flow of fresh water is from the Catatumbo River. As a historical note, the Battle of Lake Maracaibo, fought on the lake on July 24, 1823, was the last (and decisive battle) of the Venezuelan War of Independence from Spain.
