    According to Mario Vargas Llosa, Latin America has been divided for many years due to colonization. This division, which he refers to as artificial, is what classifies this undefined region as under-developed. This is because all the countries that form this region refuse to work together and make progress due to the territorial boundaries that were imposed during colonial years. Instead, they reinforce these boundaries through war and conflicts, making modernization and development a more difficult goal for Latin America. But, although many think of Latin America as under-developed because of social differences, poverty, crime, and illiteracy, it is actually the complete opposite when it comes to culture. Latin America has one of the most original and sophisticated foods, musicians, painters, and overall culture.…

European settlers’ inability to understand and respect Native Americans lead to many struggles that would eventually erupt into violent warfare.…
