Give details Four external events had a major effect on Latin American political thought. The American Revolution provided a model for colonial rebellion. The French Revolution offered revolutionary ideology. The slave rebellion on the French island of SST. Dominique, led by François-Dominique Toasting L ‘Overture in 1791 , ended in 1804 with the independent republic of Haiti. The final and precipitating factor was the confused political situation in Spain and Portugal caused by French invasion and occupation. 2. Compare and contrast the Brazilian move to independence with other Latin American independence movements. Because of political unrest and invasion in Portugal, the king of Portugal was forced to flee to Brazil in 1820.
In 1822, Brazil was cleared independent with a monarchy ruling. This contrasts from the rest of Latin America’s colonies as they fought protracted revolutions for independence. Ultimately each of these colonies became republics. 3. Describe the “regional blocks” that developed in South and Central America. Greater regional integration may provide a buffer to global shocks. While Latin America has established several regional blocks, only that of Central America has succeeded in facilitating substantial trade amongst its member countries. 4. What was the centralist vs.. The federalist controversy? There were many differences among leaders about the forms of republican government.
Centralists wanted strong governments with broad powers, while federalists favored awarding authority to regional governments. 5. Characterize the Liberal politics of the period from 1850 to 1870. Liberals, influenced by the French and United States models, stressed individual rights, government. 6. How successful was reform at resolving the problems of race, class, and gender? Women, despite participation in the revolutions, gained little ground during the 19th century. They continued as wives and mothers under the authority of en; they could not vote or hold office. Lower-class women had more economic and personal freedom but otherwise shared in subordination.
Public education became more open to women to prepare them for more enlightened roles in the home. Most of the new nations legally ended the society of castes in which status depended on color and ethnicity; in reality, very little changed for natives and former slaves. Control of land, politics, and the economy was dominated by a small, white, Creole elite that displayed rigid social structures. 7. What was the nature of the economic boom of the period after 1870? The increasing demand in industrialized Europe stimulated Latin American economic growth. Political alliances were forged to influence governments in their favor at the expense of the peasants and the working class.
Export products fueled the expansion and provided resources for imports of foreign manufactured goods and local development projects. The developing commerce drew the interest of foreign investors. Germany and the United States joined Britain as major participants. The capital brought in was useful, but it placed key industries under foreign control, and it influenced the internal and external leslies of governments. 8. Describe the history of the Mexican Republic from 1824 until the 1880 or so. Compare and contrast it with the history of Argentina during the same period. The 1824 Mexican constitution was a federalist document that established a republic and guaranteed basic civil rights.
But it did not address the serious issues of inequitable distribution of land, the status of Indians, the problems of education, or the poverty of most of the population. Conservative centralists opposed liberal federalists; foreign commercial agents added additional complications. Liberals during the early asses tried sweeping reforms, but they fell before a conservative reaction led by Antonio Lopez De Santa Ana. War with the United States ended in Mexican territory. Politicians were stimulated to confront their nation’s internal problems which had contributed to defeat. Indian lawyer Bonito Quartz led a liberal revolt in 1854 and inaugurated a new constitution in 1857.
Military and church privileges were curtailed and church and Indian communal lands were sold to individuals. Speculators, however, bought the land and left peasants and Indians poorer than previously. Conservative reaction led to civil war and the summoning of French assistance. The French placed Macmillan von Hapsburg on the throne, but Quartz refused to accept the foreign ruler. When the French withdrew in 1867 Macmillan was captured and executed. Quartz regained office to lead an autocratic regime until his death in 1872. By 1880 Mexico was about to enter a period of strong central government and political stability. Defeat and the loss of about one- half of its territory.
Ditz imposed a strong central government and utilized foreign capital for internal infrastructure development and industrialization. By 1910 a middle class reform movement emerged and sought electoral reform. Other opposition groups Joined it and a bloody ten-year civil war followed. In Argentina another path of economic expansion was followed. Buenos Aries and the rest of the nation worked together after 1880 to bring expansion and stability By 1914 one-third a distinct culture. Workers wanted political expression and in the asses a socialist party formed. Similar patterns occurred in the economic and political life of the rest of Latin America.
