The Role Of Colonization In South America

Colonization is the process by which a central system of power dominates the surrounding land and its components (Colonization, 2016). Currently, the U.S. is deciding whether or not to colonize South America. This decision is being based off of the European colonization in Africa. South America is a country that has not yet been colonized, but it is home to an abundance of natural resources and waterways. South America is also home to many countries within it that are unique areas. Colonization would allow the countries within South America to share and exchange products and skills. Therefore, the United States should colonize South America because it may increase their resources, increase economic growth, and unify groups to achieve a common
According to Encyclopedia Entry on South America: Resources, South America has a large and profitable mining industry, that produces metals that are used in construction and production of machines around the world (South America Resources, 2016). This points out that South America is a continent that is rich in many minerals and metals, which are critical in producing many usable resources. These resources would benefit many other countries within South America. Having the open amount of metals and minerals that produce other products that will increase resources and progress. Not all countries within South America are rich with minerals and metal deposits therefore, colonization would enable resources to be shared and distributed among South America. South America is known to be, “...home to a number of engineering marvels, most of which are connected to managing the continet’s natural resources” (South America Resources, 2016). This is helpful in extracting the metals and minerals from South America's soil. The mines in South America are some of the largest mining operations in the world, and South America also contains large waterways. The Itaipu Dam produces more power than any other damn in the world. This engineering marvel helps provide power to the mining operations in South America. This leads to an increase amount of natural resources such as tin, copper, and led among South America (South America Resources, 2016). These resources are also crucial in making other resources. The increase of resources leads to an increase in profit. Having engineering marvels within South America can also benefit production of resources. Colonization across South America would allow all countries to benefit from the production resources, as well as increase economic
