The Industrial Revolution And Latin America

In the late 18th and most of the 19th century, the Western world experienced a boom in industrial technology. Commonly known as the Industrial Revolution, this time period saw a shift from working by hand to working with machinery to produce goods. Steam and water power developed immensely as well as other machines to produce exports. During this time there was a rise of factories for manufactured products, most commonly textiles. The Industrial Revolution sparked a need for raw materials to produce these goods and to build machinery. Thus, the Industrial Revolution sparked major economic developments in Latin America, and led to the its ethnic composition being changed.

Latin America as we know it today has undergone many changes throughout history. The beginning for this time of change was 1808. Spain, the country most widely responsible for the colonization of Latin America, was in trouble with France’s master of conquest, Napoleon Bonaparte. Napolien overthrew the King of Spain and replaced him with his brother, Joseph Bonaparte. The repercusions of this evet rolled through Latin America and primed the atmosphere for revolution. The colonial people of Latin America had no loyalty to the new Jing Joseph. This lack of respect for the new

Revolution started to take over the world. The French Revolution started to happen, and ideas of enlightens started to spread. Latin America’s Spanish King was just removed, and the Creole generals started to lead wars of independence. Now was the time to begin a Revolution. The uneven distribution of resources lead to conflict and Revolution in Latin America by geographic luck, advanced weapons, and unfair social class.

Latin America has a long and complex history. From the early 1500s to 1888 there have been many political changes (foreign control, political ideology, slavery) and some continuities (central control), but the changes have had a greater effect because independent nations were able to establish themselves and form their own governments. Globally, the European Industrial Revolution was taking place which allowed for a political advantage because the new technologies could give the European governments stronger control over their colonies.

They were convinced to become banana republics by foreign countries in order to feed their interests and desires. This did not help any of the Latin American nations that were trying to grow their economy after gaining independence. They became dependent on imports from other countries. This self-reliance decimated their economy. While the book did mention America’s constant armed interventions and occupations, they did not go into detail of America’s role in their governments. They personally assassinated democratically elected presidents if they did not hold the United States in favor and appealed to their interests and desires. This caused turbulence in nations for decades and left Latin American nations in third-world status for so long. They are still recovering from all of America’s interference in their governments.

Over the course of the past half-millennium, the 33 countries that now comprise Latin America and the Caribbean have gone through drastic change. Since the discovery of the New World in 1492, each country has gone through some level of colonization by a European power and transition to its current state. During this period the regions have seen political, social, religious and economic transformations of various degrees.

The Europeans took all the wealth and resources from the natives which resulted in lack of jobs because of the unstable economy in Latin America. There is also few roads, few sewers, and no electricity. The Europeans got good food, shelters, and goods from Spain. The Africans and natives lived in poverty, got disease and were treated very poorly. The Government led by the Spanish made the government today corrupt and unfair.

From the period of late nineteenth through early twentieth century, American civilization endured vast changes based on the western exploration of the country as well as the industrial revolution it had undertaken. The different genres of its people all endured hardships and historic changes from the times of the Native Americans being forced out of their lands, to changes in population with the amassing amount of immigrants and lack of jobs through the Gilded Age, all the way through the change of the United States becoming an empire based on its acquisitions. But through all these events whether viewed as positive or negative, the powers that were in control, always viewed these changes as progression of the country.

As the economy continues to shift and wealth continues to be distributed further and further away from the middle class, it has become more important to define what you want to be. An individual or society exhibiting conviction, inspiration, innovation, and justice will have a greatly heightened chance of success. Confidence is important in the image your portray, and the way you entice those you work with. Speaking of enticement, inspiring and innovate ideas will also encourage those around you and benefit yourself, evident in how England catapulted above others during the Industrial Revolution, and even inspired America's inventors. Final, and most important to the continued livelihood of not only a society or individual, but us as a civilization,

The Americas, now known as Latin America, has gone through many changes in its history, from being conquered by Spain and Portugal, to the people fighting for its independence and finally, making a living as newly independent countries. From the years 1850 to the end of the 19th century, each region had influences, specifically those that dealt with the after effects colonial rule had on the land. Nations that made up Latin America began modifying different portions in their government in attempts to benefit the majority of the people. More or so, they accomplished this goal, each with their own challenges. Evidently, changes within the social, political and economic systems were focused on external factors.

The Cold War period represented a breaking point for real and potential threats against the US hegemony in Latin America. The US and the Soviet Union had a power struggle for almost all the last half of the twentieth century, and even if the political and military tension was between those two blocks, the poor relationship’s collateral damage reached the rest of countries in the American continent with the anti-communism US foreign policy.

Early 19th century marked the end of colonization in Latin America; the countries in the region began to form their own governments, while under threat from each other. Oligarchy was a common form of government in the Latin American region, and was led by the privileged. With the years that followed, the region was thrown into political chaos, and the government was often to blame.

In the past 100 years, the world has shifted enormously. Once, a world that only communicated when one nation was trying to take control of another, is now connected more than ever. This transformation began with the Industrial Revolution in a period from around 1760 to 1840. Thinking back to that time, we can easily think of noticeable differences between how the world was and how it is today. The United States was a small, developing country, still trying to overcome the effects of a costly revolution. Across the ocean, once the United States’ major rival, Great Britain, was still the greatest power in the world. And around the world, China and Japan were nowhere near the economic leaders they are today. However, the biggest changes weren’t the countries with the greatest power and size.

Subsequently, a new colonial government under the leadership of Guillermo Endara was hand-picked by the United States which was followed by economic and political disaster. What lead to such a drastic action against Latin America’s least populated country, and what were the lasting traumatic effects on a people faced with an imperialist, nationalist struggle?

America has been expanding and growing since its birth out of Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution has been an influence in the American life since it first in the 1700s. “Most families did not have enough to sell at the market- they had just enough for their own needs.” Up until the factories started booming and employment rates skyrocketed, people really couldn’t become wealthy and live a decent life. As the ways of farming grew the English at the time began to use up more and more land efficiently. “Unusable swamplands could be drained and used for crops.” That’s absolutely amazing that in this era they could turn swamps into areas to raise more crops so they can naturally make more money at the markets and become a bit wealthier. Farming is one of the most important lively hoods of mankind; no matter what argument anyone tries to make. If we didn’t have farming and agricultural production we wouldn’t have all the different sorts of food products we do, nor would they be as abundant. Life would be like it was before the Industrial Revolution came about and most of us would still be growing our own food and barely scraping by in life. With all this agricultural expansion of the time population in England start expanding drastically as well. Thanks to population growth people started to worry more about new inventions and producing stuff for us to make our day to day lives easier than we could have ever before. With all the technological advancements leading up to
