    Latin America Dbq Analysis

    • 1012 Words

    The Latin American countries were also hindered by economic matters. The countries mostly affected by economic transformations include Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, and Mexico. In Brazil, economic changes began to take place once coffee began to become exported, and by 1860, it became Brazil’s largest import crop. As presented in Document 5, the fazendas, or coffee estates, required much labor and cost to produce and preserve. Most of Brazil’s population was enslaved, and so the workers confined themselves to living an ‘isolated’ life dedicated to the fazendas. They had “no illusions of independence”, although the writer of Document 5 makes it seem as their job was not as dreadful as it was made out to be. In Mexico, haciendas, or large estates, primarily made up the land system. As described in Document 6, the haciendas included “all the customary accessories of an independent community”, and they are mostly described, by the writer, as great, striking features of Mexico. They were solely developed as economic enterprises that granted profit and linked regional or international markets. However, Mexico had a very large rural peasantry and the size of working classes increased. As the size of the haciendas expanded, the peasants were pressured. This soon led to strikes and labor unrest. These frustrations erupted into the Mexican Revolution, which lasted for ten years. Seven years after the conclusion of the war, in 1917, the hacienda system was abolished by law. In Cuba, the majority of plantations were under American rule. The investments Americans made in Cuba allowed for the mass production of sugar cane. The plantations were highly profitable, and, as shown in Document 4, worked upon by both men and women. These economic changes in Latin America eventually led to prosperity and…

    The primary issue is related to the coffee farmers in Africa and South America. They are not paid a sufficient price for their crop, and health and environmental standards are unregulated. Low coffee prices due to a higher supply than demand around 2000 leaving several coffee farmers with earnings below sustenance level. This caused large coffee producers to enforce a more sustainable supply chain with their coffee farmers. Nestlé is facing a decision whether to market their new instant coffee under the fair-trade brand or to keep complying with their own high CSR standards.…
