Latin American Integration

    How Did Latin America Gain Independence

    Although Latin America had gained independence in the late 1800’s, much of the population was still subjected to poverty and prejudice. With their newly gained independence, Latin America adopted free trade acquiring huge profits due to their surplus of natural resources. However, they were unable to modernize and industrialize, leading Latin America to become “enslaved” in debt. When United States and British entrepreneurs saw the opportunity, they constructed railroads to obtain the rich agriculture and minerals. Latin America had become economically dependent: they may only trade their precious metals and cash crops with their parent countries. Laws were created to prevent the colonists from acquiring goods for potentially lower prices via…

    History 382- History of Modern Latin America

    As the group read the article that we chose to focus on for this project, we came across various contrasting ideas that Foner has in his book and the ideas in the article itself. From the very beginning of the section where Foner speaks about the War of 1812, brutality that American’s used to gain the Indian territory is completely played down. The book does not go into an extent of what the American’s did to the Indians to strip them from their own possessions and rights. In the article, since it is from Indian perspective, the readers are able to gain insight on the brutality and pain that was casted upon the tribes. This being said, it is clear that because brutality is played down and not mentioned, that the book focuses more on the American view point than on the Indian’s. We also learned in the article that it was not just Shawnee and Tecumseh but also the Saux and Fox that were anti-American and wanted to go back to their traditional ways. The article stresses that going back to Indian ways was the right thing to do and these tribes wanted to fight for their independence. The Saux were more anti-American than the Fox because their land was taken by Americans but this still did not stop any of the tribes from wanting to go back to their homeland and roots. Lastly, another contrast that was found was the idea of different consequences of the war. Americans broke the power of the Indians and they also solidified the control of land east of the Mississippi River. While the Americans were making progress for themselves, Indian land was being taken away, tribes were being killed and Indian identity was being stripped from them. Although there were similarities found, Foner lacks to include all of these, and more, contrasting ideas in his book.…

    Latin West Social Changes

    Rural Growth and Crisis: While the Latin West flourished under cultivation, farming techniques, an use of machinery and mechanical forms of energy, rural Europeans faced a time of catastrophe and struggle. The growth of population had a major impact on society and caused many difficulties and conflicts to arise. The Black Death in Latin West took care of the over population, but it also caused people to turn more religious and less conservative, caused many social changes, and also led to the higher demand pay from skilled and manual laborers, which then led to revolt by peasants against wealthy nobles and churchman.

    How Did Latin American Culture Change Over Time

    Throughout the period from 1500 C.E. to 1750 C.E., interregional trade in Latin America and the Caribbeans changed as it went from isolationist to being a part in global trade and polythetic to Christianity, but continued to have an agriculturally-based economy and kept some native traditions. Before 1500 C.E., Latin America and the Caribbeans were separated from global trade, meaning they isolated and developed independently. Latin America and the Caribbeans during this time consists of the Aztecs and the Incans. The Aztecs settled in the valley of Mexico and grew many crops such as corn, so they were an agriculturally-based economy. The Aztecs frequently engaged in warfare to conquer others cities, mostly left the local governments…

    Contemporary Latin American Studies

    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.…

    Cultural Conflict In Latin America

    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.…

    Latin American Independence

    During 1800 Latin America struggled for independence and all of a sudden it happened. During that time nobody was aware of what was happening in Europe. Independence movement was happening all over the world, as oppressed people fought to be free. The European control collapsed and slaves took over in Haiti, but that was not the case in Latin America. In Spanish America and Brazil, the white people were still at the top while indigenous and blacks stayed at the bottom. The fight for independence in Latin America made many men of color become heroes and brought honor to many men of mixed race, but that was not enough for them. Many mestizos wanted to rule their country and not depend so much on the monarch of Spain. The war between England…

    What Does the Future Hold for India-Latin America Relations?

    What Does the Future Hold for India-Latin America Relations?

    A: Jorge Heine, CIGI chair in Global Governance at the Balsillie School of International Affairs in Waterloo, Ontario, and a former Chilean cabinet minister and ambassador to India: "The last decade has seen a sea change in Indo-Latin American relations. The number of LAC embassies in New Delhi grew from 12 in 2003 to 18 in 2008, and the Indian ones in the region from seven to 14. While only 10 presidential visits from Latin America to India took place from 1947 to 2000, a dozen did so since 2000. Trade is one-tenth of that with China, but it may nearly triple, to $70 billion, in 2015, part of increased South-South trade and investment flows. Yet, many Latin American government officials and businesses remain fixated on China. They do not realize that, according to some projections, India's growth rate will overcome that of China by 2020 and India's population will be bigger than China's by 2030. The India-CELAC Dialogue could not be more timely. It joins Latin America's new regionalism with the new India. The larger countries are taking the lead, with Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, Chile and Argentina at the…
