As a consequence, The Conservative Party arouses the Coup d'etat against the Socialism.The military got the dictatorship subsequently.

All political groups were dispersed until 1944, therefore restraining openings for a challenger to coordinate. During this process, Vargas eradicated threats from the left to the right. At the local level, colonists lasted by asserting their devotion and agreeing to their share of benefaction for delivery to their own subjects. The Vargas years had their greatest impact on national politics and economics. Vargas smallest influence was at the local level where the older forms of authority persisted well into the 1950s. Vargas engages the rural and business related elites, making former enemies supporters, or at least neutral. Vargas’s time as dictator witnessed the reorganization of the economy, armed forces, foreign relations, and international…

Colombia has a long history of party politics, usually fair and regular elections, and respect for political and civil rights. Two traditional parties--the Liberals and the Conservatives--have competed for power since the midnineteenth century and have rotated frequently as the governing party. Colombia's armed forces have seized power on only three occasions--1830, 1854, and 1953--far less often than in most Latin American countries. The 1953 coup took place, moreover, only after the two parties--unable to maintain a minimum of public order-- supported military intervention. Colombia's conservative Roman Catholic Church traditionally has been more influential than the military in electing presidents and influencing elections and the political socialization of…
The revolutions that took place in the United States, France, Haiti, and Latin America were all influenced by one another. The main political idea was that of popular sovereignty. This was the idea that the authority to govern comes from the people. This strayed from the ideals that the right to govern comes from God or tradition. The main group that benefited from these revolutions was middle class white males; except in Haiti. Long term, the revolutions gave many groups the ammunition needed to fight for political rights they previously did not have.…
As demonstrated in this essay, the democracy in the Chilean government broke down because of the low levels of economic development, which resulted in the inequality between social classes. This inequality led to President Salvador Allende’s attempt to reduce the power of the wealthy and to create socialized sectors of the economy. However, despite his attempts the economy continued to weaken and the resistance among Chile’s elites against Salvador Allende grew. Because of this resistance, the government’s ability to govern became crippled which resulted in a…
The post-conquest ethnic hierarchies, which were implemented in colonial Latin America, rooted out of intertwining dominant European practices and views into pre-conquest Indigenous civilizations. Europeans held a superior position in most aspects of their societies, whether it was in terms of political power, economic wealth, or social status. Therefore, the structure of these post-conquest hierarchies placed Europeans on top, and the remainder of people, such as Indigenous peoples and Africans, at the bottom of it all. This is evident in systems such as the Sistema de Castas. There are a wide range of sources, from writers of different backgrounds, such as Don Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala and Don Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, which bring…
The documentary Haiti and the Dominican Republic: An Island Divided discusses differences between two countries that share one land mass. In the first few seconds of the film the only visible separation or distinction viewers can observe is the Massacre River and the two different sides the countries occupy. However, moments later viewers are informed of the many deeper-rooted differences between the two countries and its people. Haiti and the Dominicans have had many conflicts over the years and this documentary helped give me a better understanding of the reasons and history from which these conflicts were born.…
What happens when cultures collide? When cultures collide conflict arises, each culture is different so it makes sense. Most of the time a resolution is reached, other times, the cultures could disappear. Like the Native Americans of South America, when the conquistadors came, the natives welcomed them with open arms, wanting to be peaceful. The Conquistadors enslaved them and treated them poorly wiping out 90% of their population. Even where the conquistadors never went, Natives died due to diseases brought over from Europe and the remaining 10% were forced to work on Spanish plantations, owned by the peninsulares. This was called the encomienda system, a type of hierarchy for New Spain.…

In America and Latin America had two different types of effects on its government. After the Civil War the U.S Industrialization industry grew tremendously with machines replacing hand labor. Industrialization is the development of industries in a country or region on a wide scale. Industrialization in America helped the country form a stable government because during the Industrial Revolution lots of new inventions were made. Because of all these new inventions factories had to manufacture them and that led to an increase in products which increased America's Industrialization which helped their economy thus leading them to a successful government. On the other hand in Latin America there Industrial period was completely opposite from Americas. The Industrial Revolution in Europe helped Latin America recover from their indepence war but Latin America had no industry which then lead them to form an unstable government. This created an unstable government because Latin America had to depend on other countries trading their resources to them. In Latin America there wasn't enough investments but there was new demands for their natural resources like coffee, sugar and beef. To conclude America's government was successful because they had a boom in new products which then increased their industrialization which helped their economy. Latin America's government wasn't successful because they depend on other countries trading resources to them and there wasn't enough investments there which hurt their economy thus affecting their government.…
Political systems through the world have changed over the ages. A political system is a significant set of social institutions implemented among the people by the government. Political systems have a lot of functions. Political systems create resources for health, education, welfare, industry and foreign policy. Political systems have changed significantly over centuries and are still changing everyday. To understand why and how political systems change, there are many factors. Some major factors are development, government upheaval and the economy. A main factor and influence on why a political systems change is due to the countries social economy.…
There are many times in the course where I have seen Latin Americans respond to events different than North Americans would, but the different reactions mainly came from the indigenous people. The example I saw that was most prominent is “Huaorani time”. The Huaorani live in the now, when they say it is going to be two hours more, it is going to be more around eight. They don’t think about the future all they think about is the here and now. They do not save food, or when they do other Huaorani come and take it because they do not understand why have food if you are not going to use it. They do not take time for granted whereas we do.…
Latin Americans largely embrace democracy as their preferred form of government. These countries have experienced differing political paths in the aspects of authoritarian, military governments, socialists, single-party and multi-party systems and highly centralized and localized governments. Religion is an intriguing factor in the political landscapes of most Latin American states with the difference being on the extent to which religious leaders should influence politics. Some states prefer a government that refrains from upholding religious beliefs, values, and practices. This paper is purposed to make a comparison between the politics of Brazil and Argentina considering their political histories, analysis of their current…
