>>18631079When we the Spanish left Mexican per capita GDP was half’s the American one. Today it is one eighth.
>>18631079When the Sanish left>>18631148Mexico had also higher living standards than Germany and virtually all of eastern/central europe
>>18631079The English colonists set up locally led juristications the moment they got off the boat so the moment that happened I guess. >>18631148>>18631167How did it compare to the average spaniard?
>>18631167>When the Sanish left>Sanish>>18631171About similar or slightly less
>>18631167i mean, there was a reason why the us has so much german ancestry (even more than anglo), and many germans flocked to argentina and brazil
>>18631196Yeah Germany after the 30 years up to industrialisation and unification was a shithole but what I'm trying to tell is that Mexico, Venezuela and some other colonies didn't have standards of living so bad that they were behind the most derelict european states. They were roughly similar to Spain who was neither the richest nor the poorest european country
>>18631201That seems like a bad comparsion in a time when industralization was limited to England and the scottish lowlands.
>>18631167>Mexico had also higher living standardsIn what regard?
>>18631079Aside from being much more populous and having bigger cities? In what way was it more developed? The average latinx american was not in anyway richer or better off than an american and they also had to deal with feudalism and caste systems which north america didnt.
>>18631224In no regards, let the poor lad dream anon
>>18631224The average Mexican had a higher salary for similar activities>>18631235Read Humboldt, he literally says it>>18631234Cope>muh caste systemAh yes the famously racially tolerant colonial america
>>18631079As soon as the first Anglo set foot on the continent.
>>18631408The first English colonists ended up starving to death lmao
>>18631167>higher living standards than Germany and virtually all of eastern/central europeThat's...really not saying much
>>18631402>The average Mexican had a higher salary for similar activitiesWait That's it? It was still an utter shithole.>yes the famously racially tolerant colonial americaIt only affected a minority of the populace not the entire country and mexico had slavery.
>>18631425That's saying that it was not a worst place to live in that most of europe>>18631426>Wait That's it? It was still an utter shithole.see above>It only affected a minority of the populace not the entire country and mexico had slavery.Blacks were a much smaller part of the population in Mexico than in the USA
>>18631455>That's saying that it was not a worst place to live in that most of europeAgain thats not really impressive at all pre-modern societies prosperity was entirely determined by their geography and climate and new spain had much superior lands for both agricultural production aswell as mineral deposits compared to germany though it still was an total shithole like basically all pre-modern societies.>Blacks were a much smaller part of the population in Mexico than in the USAYes but natives who made up the majority of the populace in new spain were treated much worse and lived in worse conditions than non native peasants.
