    A revolution is “a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system.” There have been countless revolutions throughout history but the American Revolution in particular is more commonly known about in the United States. Although more nationally known, the American Revolution wasn’t the only group of European colonists to rise up against their distant rulers during their time. In the early 19th century, many colonies in South America rose up against Spanish rule for many reasons similar to the colonies in the North who revolted against the British. Ideology, geopolitics, and material interests encouraged the rebellions in both the American and Latin American independence movements. While very similar in cause, each revolution occurred in different ways and was influenced by different leaders. Thomas Jefferson was a prominent leader of the American Revolution while Jose de San Martín was a significant figure in the independence movement for Latin America. Both Jefferson and San Martín had similar motives of leading their people to independence, but took different courses of action in doing so.…

    The new Latin American empires of Spain and Portugal maintained special contacts with the West. Western forms were imposed on indigenous cultures as the militarily superior European invaders conquered their lands. Latin America became part of the world economy as a dependent region. The Iberians mixed with native populations and created new political and social forms. The resulting mixture of European, African, and Indian cultures created a distinctive civilization. Indian civilization, although battered and transformed, survived and influenced later societies. Europeans sought economic gain and social mobility; they used coerced laborers or slaves to create plantations and mine deposits of precious metals or diamonds.…

    Latin America is a curious case in the political world; with ever changing governments, one of the highest regional poverty rates and a corrupt federal system that is tied into the narcotics industry. Why is this region so politically unstable, and is it getting better or worse? This question can easily be answered when the political history of Latin America is examined. Latin America is a region birthed through war and revolution, as well as hundreds of years of colonization by the Spanish Empire. Ruled by the elites since the 19th century, Latin America has struggled with oppressive dictators, poverty and the narcotics trade which has crippled the economy and left South America with virtually no middle class. These…

    Bradford Burns, the author of Latin America: An Interpretive History has put a lot of thought in my mind, of who and what where the first people of Latin America. Because of them, many of us are here today. But who are they? The new world, which came to be known as Latin America; numerous types of people migrated to this part of the world. A group of people known as the indigenous migrated from Asia and crossed the Bering Strait. They spread throughout North and South America. When Christopher Columbus landed on the new world, mistaking it for Asia, he called the indigenous “Indians.” It is said that the indigenous has many characteristics; black hair, dark eyes, and copper skin. The indigenous were the main focus of Latin America I believe, because they were the first to be there. Women worked in agriculture, while men hunt. Later on came the Europeans and Spaniard wanting to concord all of the Latin American, in seek for land and wealth. When the new world started to unroll, war was taken place to fight for what the indigenous had first. The Africans came next, which they were used for slavery.…
