    This book connects to this course because it focuses on the politics of Latin America specifically Chile. The country begins as a conservative power which then shifts to Socialist with the new elected of the president. Chile changes abruptly with a coup d’état of the government where the military revolted leading to a dictatorship. This is also seen in Rigoberta Menchu’s testimony I, Rigoberta Menchu where the military takes over the government. This led to violence throughout the nation from fear of communism. The book shows a detailed picture of Chile shifting political powers and the violence that carries with…

    The myth is that the conquistadors conquered the America’s relatively quickly in a sovereign effort but Restall explains that the Spaniards had a lot of help from the Natives and African’s and the “completion” of conquest was anything but; as mass portions of the land remained unscathed by the conquest. Restall effortlessly explains how the conquistador myths of superior communication between the Spaniards and Natives were just as fabricated as the modern misconception of inferior communication by historians. The communication between the two, or lack thereof, fell somewhere between both myths. Restall uses his concise writing style to explain the resilience of the Natives, debunking the myth of Native desolation and how the myth of superiority derives from Eurocentric beliefs of racial dominance which lead to racist ideologies that “underpinned colonial expansion from the late fifteenth to early twentieth centuries.”…

    Captivation or being restrained due to certain circumstances that prevents free choice is usually one of many great reasons to form revolutionary ideas. To get from captivation to liberation, one must consider change, a major component needed in order to gain freedom after enslavement. Latin America, in the eighteen hundreds, sought the need for change due to the resentment of the Spanish rule. Simon Bolivar, the revolutionary leader of Latin America, will seek independence from Spain. It was in Jamaica where Bolivar wrote a letter known as the “Jamaican Letter”, one of Bolivar’s greatest proposals. The letter emphasizes his thoughts and meanings of the revolution while envisioning a variety of governmental structures, of the New World, that could one day be recognized.…

    In any case where negative influences come into play in any of the Latin American nations, America was obligated to force those negative influences out. For example, if one Latin American nation was subject to invasion by another country, the United States had the power to intervene. Basically, the United States acted as the “big stick” in Latin American affairs in the “speak softly but carry a big stick” saying. This “big stick” was the force that stood behind Latin America and intimidated European nations if any disruption of Latin American affairs occurred.…

    The above statement makes reference to the conflicts within Northern and Central America, there is no doubt that these places have been involved in many conflicts, whether it be domestic or international. However it goes on to suggest that the conflicts within the continent were solely political and neglects to mention other contributing factors such as; social, economical, spiritual etc. In this response I will be looking further into the variety of factors and deciding, based on my research, whether or not the Mexican…

    Author Lumumba states, “By railways and roads, by reclamation of swamps and deserts, and by a system fair trade and competition, we have added to the prosperity and wealth of these lands, and checked famine and disease… . We are endeavoring to teach the native races to conduct their own affairs with justice and humanity, and to educate them” (Lumumba, 1961, para. 2). By colonizing South America literacy rates will higher as well as survival rates. There can be more ways of transportation, better education and jobs for South Americans. Although this is true, the scramble for Africa caused wars and genocide. In a video by McCormack he states that, In Rwanda during 1994 there was a genocide because Belgium made the Tutsi extenders of Belgium rule and the Hutu a workforce. (McCormack, 2006). The Hutu did not find this fair and started killing people that were Tutsi’s. Innocent people were also being killed all because of something started by colonizing Africa. Colonizing South America may also lead to wars and genocide. In the book “Things Fall Apart” it also states, “It is estimated that up to 3 million people died as a result of fighting, disease, and starvation during the 30 month conflict” (ThingsFallApart, 2012, page 20). Killing innocent people because of how Americans want a certain country to be is unfair and selfish. If people in South America want a change they can speak up and ask other countries for help instead of being forced against their will to…

    The physical geography and climate has influenced Latin America in so many ways. These ways can be seen not only on landscapes, but also on political events. On the article Introduction to Latin America, Kirby states that “It was also the guiding light for many of the leaders of the Brazilian republican movement that toppled the monarchy in 1889 and it finds expression in the words ‘Ordem e Progresso’ on the Brazilian flag” (Differing Understandings, Pg 5.) Unfortunately enough it just does not happen in Brazil, but also in many Latin American countries, the government can be seem as taking over the country’s wealth instead of helping out society for the better. By having the government depleting the country’s wealth into…

    The African continent has been, and continues to be engulfed in one conflict after another. Over the last 40 years, nearly 20 African countries, or about 40% of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), have experienced at least one period of civil war (Elbadawi & Sambanis, 2000). They further estimate that 20% of SSA's population now lives in communities which are constantly at war. As the most populated African nation with over 140 million people, Nigeria has not been spared its share of violent conflicts, particularly communal conflicts. Some of these conflicts have been characterized as crises of identity (Isa, 2001), or competition for control of the political space whatever its form and nature, Egwu (1998), reveal that communal conflict pose a fundamental threat and challenge to the state, and erode current attempts at institutionalizing virile and durable democracies in Africa, particularly in Nigeria. Since conflict prevention has not taken sufficient root in Nigeria, communal conflicts have now become pervasive. As Isa (2001), aptly notes thus: “communal conflicts in Nigeria have attained a situation of pervasive phenomenon; it has turned Nigeria's rural communities into battlefields and killing grounds”.…
