Justin Gomez
those countries are more different from each other than you think Sven
Jonathan Torres
We didn't trade at a loss like we did with Europe. They didn't have an economic boom with the amounts of American aid like Europe did after WWII.
If it was up to me, i would of dumped that aid and free infrastructure to Latin America instead.
Leo Harris
>Where did it all go so wrong?
Colonialism, slavery, dictadorships at the Cold War, marxism, peronism, drugs, corruption and blablabla
>Didn't they have western living standards in the early 1900s?
Just Argentina but they destroyed their country by the Peronism.
Nowadays some retards think Peron is a "great man" because "muh fascism"

Gabriel Adams

Like with everything else that went wrong with the world, ultimately the one responsible for this wickedness as per usual is: America.
Carson Cooper
Truth is, it was always shit.
Eli Lewis
1492, unironically.
Latin America was doomed from the start since Spain treated them as exploitation colonies. Things such as education, the press, freedom of religion, individual land ownership, etc were all unimportant to the primary goal of resource extraction. We, on the other hand, were a settler colony.
Bentley Thomas

Perón was just the nail in the coffin. They had already started their decline by the 1930 coup.

THe problem were like 7 coups that served foreign interests and then the commie guerrilla niggers like hte montoneros co opted peronism and sold the country out
Parker Morales
Mexico was unironically better than Spain back in the franco dictatorship
William Cox
>in the franco dictatorship
Wrong, Mexico was better than Spain untill late 50s early 60s and Franco last until mid 70s. Anyhow not Argentina or Venezuela lv.
William Wilson
Argentina was very close of European living standards until ~1930. Chile and Uruguay following at some distance. Venezuela was briefly one of the richest countries in the world in the mid-20th century. Brazil sadly was an economic shithole until the 1950s.
Gabriel Myers

Joseph Fisher
