I stayed in Mexico (5 years ago, 1 month), Argentina (3 years ago, only 11 days) and Brasil (2 years ago, 2 months) and I can assure you that from the fall of native empires nothing interesting happened here except for wars and dictators. And yes, I gone out of the tursitic places to see the "real" country.
Oh!! The typical imperialist thoughts. If you think latin american culture is like that, you don't know nothing of latin america. We have very great art, culture and literature. There are and were very famous latin american writers like Ernesto Sábato, Gabriel GarcÃa Marques and a lot more.
Maybe latin american countries aren't that developed, in part for the fault of our politicians and IN PART FOR AMERICAN AND ENGLISH INTERVENCION in our revolutions, our economy and our goverments. The fact that many military dictatorships in Latin America were organized by US presidents is very well known. During the south american revolution, all the area of argentina, uruguay, bolivia, paraguay and (i think) chile were one country named Provincias Unidas del Rio de La Plata. English intervention there caused the division of it in many countries. (For example: When Brasil invaded uruguay (at that time named Banda Oriental) there was a war between Brasil and Provincias unidas for that region. The english goverment intervented and suggested that banda oriental should be an independent country and fomented that idea between the uruguayan population, and that way, all SA was divided into more powerless smaller countries, instead of a powerfull big one).
Another example is the crisis that argentina is suffering. During the last 10 years my country followed all the neoliberalist suggestions of the IMF (o FMI) and the country was called an example of a perfect economy model by the IMF. Now, all that ''perfect economy model'' is, in part, what has lead us into this crisis.
They consider the natives as "crappy people" just because they are poors and by ages spanish "great" conquistadores just oppressed them.
--Keep thinking in that marvellous imperialist way. We latins don't deserve to live. Only the superior race of the americans deserves that right. Come, please, to civilize us. (Sarcasm, in case you didn't get it
