President William R. Tolbert who was president
for nine years. Samuel Kanyon Doe became the new
dictator of Liberia.
Another civil war started again in 1989 Yromie

the rebellion but he was forced to resign in 1994
and power was given to the Council of state. In

had very good relations With Liberia, because of
Liberias problems with human rights
and Government problems. Relations have become
tight.
In the 1980s the united states started a huge
relief plan called PL-480. They donated hundreds
of millions of dollars along with hundreds of
tons Rice. The United States is giving more to
Liberia then any other country.
