6. European Colonies in the Americas
Starting in 1492, Spain began claiming large parts of Latin America for itself
By the 1700’s Spain, Portugal and France controlled most of Latin America as colonies
Many people in Latin America disliked being controlled by the European powers

7. PROBLEMS IN THE SPANISH EMPIRE
* Political Disempowerment:
Spanish colonies were run by the Council of the Indies, a group appointed by the King that met in Spain and sent its directives across the Atlantic. Those directives were carried out by the viceroys, officials appointed by Spain to govern the colonies.
* Economic Disempowerment:
Spain had the first right to colonial goods and resources. Excluding all competitors, economic policy was set for Spain’s maximum benefit.

19. AN IMBALANCE OF TRADE
* As the imbalance of trade grew, Latin American countries took out large loans from the U.S., Britain, and Germany to build infrastructure.
* When the countries could not pay back their loans, foreign lenders gained control of major industries in Latin America.

20. THE QUESTION OF LAND NO! AT LEAST, DID THE SOCIAL PYRAMID CHANGE?
* Once the Spaniards were expelled, the new governments seized their lands and put them up for sale, BUT….only the creoles could afford to buy them.
* Thus, the creoles replaced the peninsulares at the top of the social pyramid, but other classes remained at the bottom of the ladder.

22. BOLIVAR’S LAST WORD
* Simon Bolivar had taken up the cause of independence hoping to establish a new order where Latin American countries would be free, democratic, and federated (in agreement to work together.) Instead, upon his death, he saw a world in which dictators ruled and disunity reigned. Disgusted by what he saw, he gave this warning to future generations:
“America is ungovernable for us. He who serves a revolution plows the sea.”
