Why didn't these extraction colonies band together and form a proper country? After France and Glorious Napoleon granted them their independence.
>>218206314Brazil ruined it for everybody on the continent with their mongrel complex.
>>218206314It’s funny how they never learn: always against the wall, always getting punched. When will they learn to fight?Since the WWII>Guatemala 1954>Nicaragua1980's>Honduras2009>Panama1989>Haiti19912004>Dominican Republic1965>Brazil1964>Chile 1973>Argentina1976>Uruguay1973>Bolivia19641971>Paraguay 1954>Venezuela20022026
local elites
Because we don't have a resource or infrastructure or economic issue.Or issue is fundamentally social: we are mutt societies with a European descended ruling class and a indigenous/black underclass and both of these are antipathetic to each otherWhich means there is no unified national project but a competition to undermine the other and enslave them
>>218206314Peru and Bolivia got together: failedEcuador, Colombia, and Panama got together: failedColombia then seperated itself into Colombia and Venezuela
this is nuts
>>218206314>Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay were part of the same vicerroy>the revolutionary movement for it started in Argentina>Uruguay was initially on board but they lost trust on it, they felt that we were just replacing extractive Spanish Elites with extractive Buenos Aires Elites>Paraguay outright fought against a revolutionary army that showed up from Buenos Aires, and stood with Spain... and after a while they changed their mind and wanted independence, but they also decided they didn't trust Buenos Aires either>Bolivia was crawling with Spanish troops, Peru being one of their main hubs of operation>border with Chile is like twice the height of the Alps, logistics is a bitch, can't annex a country if you can't march an army to put down an insurrectionwe very much tried to gobble all the land that we could, main reason is almost always a combination of "people in country A don't trust that people in country B have their best interest in mind" and "the geography is way too fucked up for country B to move an army and annex country A by force"even then, the smaller countries in the region, bar Caribbean islands, are still often larger than the average european cunt
>>218206926Punched?The government installed in 1964 was nationalistic and not American vassals lol. Oil was kept fully nationalized, new state companies were created like Embraer or Embrapa, clandestine nuclear weapons program started, the market was super protectionist, the government invested in national industry and didn't open their ass to gringos. The Americans barely did anything to help their coup too, they just gave intel and diplomatic support to the military faction that already had been trying to coup the government for a decade at that point. Honestly, I think the coupists really did fool Americans to earn support there.
>>218209022oh, also, a lot of Argentinian provinces were also pretty dissatisfied with Buenos Aires too, the government in BA was constantly sending small armies to quell down militias and insurrections all over the place, there wasn't even an "Argentinian" identity yetthere quite literally wasn't enough men in the military to do everythingat one point one of our best military commanders just took an entire army and decided he had to march all the way to Peru, the government in BA was fuming, sending him letters to return to his post and put down some local rebellions that cropped up, or they'd hang him, but he continued campaigning abroad
>that attention whore from /sp/ is seething again
>>218207433You forgot about Central America collapsing quickly after becoming a big union
>>218206314i mean you are brown
>>218206314We need an american terror to kick all the failed ideologies off the continent, then expand Mercosul into something similar to the EU and eventually federalize it.
>>218209022>>218209303Why do you say "we", aren't most argentines today from later european migrations? I doubt you have much to do with the original colonial population
>>218210202because saying "the revolutionaries of early 19th century" each and every single time is a fucking mouthful, autismo, I thought people would understand the figure of speech and realized that I wasn't actually present there two centuries ago and I'm instead referring to the people of would-be-argentina of the time, but I guess I didn't account for you
i thought it was the anglo freemason protestant bourbons o algo
>>218209723I agree, countries should be given a choice between being a puppet of the United States or being forced to share a country with Brazilians.
