The Restorative Liberal Revolution, also known as the Invasion of the 60 due to the number of men with whom the movement began,[1] was an expedition of Venezuelans exiled in Colombia under the command of Cipriano Castro that began on 23 May 1899, with the purpose of overthrowing the government of Venezuelan President Ignacio Andrade.
