And now, Argentina is poorer than Mexico. How did this happen?
Back then, agriculture was a major part of the economy and argentina had endless cattle ranching land. First world nations moved on from just agriculture.
>>544540917jews
>>544540917After hundreds of years of looting the Americas blind and other colonies for hundreds of tonnes of gold+ various other resources for free, during the interwar Spain was poorer than Romania.
>>544540917Yes, if you read old pre-war novels there is often a millionaire character that shows up from Argentina. Also the expression "as rich as an Argentine" which has obviously fallen into disuse as nobody fantasises about being as rich as a monkey with no bananas.
>>544540917British foreign investment stopped because they weren't industrializing. This is why the Argentinians are so pissed off at us because we aren't financing their shit anymore.
>>544541166As to how it happened, Argentina was de jour "sixth dominion" British empire, hence the polo, the cricket, an early start at football and the rugby union. They were clobbered by the great depression and then went Peronist and stole all our investments (e.g., the railways we built), so no more money for you.Which, in case you didn't realise, is really why they hate us. "I don't need your help daddy, go away" -> "daddy, I'm poor, why have you done this to me?". Sulky teenager behaviour really. We could have very good relations really, they just have to swallow their pride.
>>544541444>>544541423It's funny you niggers think Argentina was rich because of you.You were just another client and investor.And if you invested it was in order to make money. Buenos Aires is still among the largest and whitest cities in the world - both much larger and whiter than London - and they are only poor now because they really really wanted to be poor with all the Socialism, jews, non white immigration and now israeli and americna worship. They absolutely never needed you, and now they need you even less than they ever did. You niggers.
>>544540917A classic example of the leftist approach is Argentina.After roughly 40 years of rapid economic growth in the 19th century and the early 20th century, the country came to be regarded as the southern analogue of the United States. It was often called exactly that: “the United States of Argentina.” It was believed that there were the “United States of America” in the north and the “United States of Argentina” in the south, and that these were the two poles of the Western Hemisphere, attracting people, capital, investment, technology, and ideas. This development along parallel courses continued until the 1930s. Then in Argentina there occurred what also happened in Estonia last year. New people came and said: “All right, that’s enough. We were growing very fast, but our wages are too low; they must be raised.” They engaged in populist, leftist policies. They raised the minimum wage, added social security, and regulation. The rates of economic growth, which had been 6–7% a year, fell. First to 3–4%, then to zero... In such a condition the Argentine economy, with small interruptions, remained for almost 70 years — until the beginning of the 21st century. Until the end of the 1950s, Argentina still managed to remain among the highly developed countries and to be richer than Spain, Portugal, even Italy. However, populism did its work, and Argentina slid down into the group of third-world countries. That is what the left does. Repeated attempts to break this trend, which has taken shape over the last three generations, have so far not produced success.
>>544541783>only invested to make moneyDo you know what investments are? Without the British, Argentina would not have any railways which effectively means they would have no industry.>they never needed youExcept they did because without those investments they wouldn't have had the capital necessary to create their ranching exports or the trade network necessary to do it. You have to remember that the ENTIRE ocean trade network was run by Britain. You could not ship without the British protecting trade convoys due to piracy.>capital is whiterLargely irrelevant but since you're bringing up race then I don't think anyone from Portugal should be casting the first stone, or are you in holiday in another country the British keep safe? Lets also not forget that the British also ended slavery globally which protects your niggardly existence from being enslaved by barbary pirates.
>>544541783Your ooking and screeching has made my point for me. Back in your tree please.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_investment_in_Argentina
>>544540917over 100 years of state intervention in the economy from both the left and right
>>544540917Peronism (fascism (now disguised as lefties)
>>544542044>Le Populism!Argentina's fall from grace is well documented. It wasn't just a populism, it was a very specific kind of it. And the unbelievably part is that they never really surpassed it or overcame it. Also, Argentina is poor but is not really third world in many regards.It's working to become a full blown third world country though. There's still great wealth down there.>>544542301Without British investment Argentina would find someone else to invest for you, either the French or the Americans or whomever.You dumb nigger... how is this not obvious to you? The ocean trade network was not run by Britain, it was overseen by Britain. The tech was available to pretty much everybody since the XVI century, what Britain did is what America does now: Oversaw what the fuck was going on and charged its imperial taxes... or bombed random people. I am Portuguese and racially speaking I cast the first stone to Britain and France every time. America too. >a country the British keep safeKek never happened literally anywhere. And you niggers never helped us with the barbary pirates - which by the way we could always take out, we just had other priorities like fending of your piracy, for instance.
>>544540917Like the US they were a settler colony with few natives and large tracts of land and resources, however they were settled by Spaniards, Italians and other meds rather than Anglos and Germans, the laziness of med culture eventually poisoned them and led them to socialism, corruption and other Southern European related poor decisions.
>>544545253>socialism, corruption and other Southern European related poor decisions.Socialism was a Northern European - jewish invention.You're all barbarians to me.
>>544541156>for free >building literal countries out of dust lands >hundreds of schools, hospitals, tech, language, culture >for free retard
>>544545253Anglos and N germans are literal kike inbred slaves. You didn't even have a language of your own until romans arrived north. Very pathetic.
>>544545326Well Southern Europeans sure do love that jewish invention, the so called 'protestant work ethic' as actually just the Germanic work ethic, Germanics know they have to work for what they don't have instead of expecting handouts, this is what gave America strength, the problem with Latin America is not only the brown native population but also the pedigree of Europeans that settled there.
>>544545528SHUT UP, RETARD, WHERE'S THE GOLD RETARD?!!
>>544545855The gold was used to buy materials to make those countries, dumb retard nigger
>>544546121Nah
>>544540917There where a few elites hoarding all the money, everyone was poor, basically IndiaThe only time Argentina was good was when we were part of the Spanish kingdom
Just gotta mention it took me way too long to realize the Argent root in Argentina essentially meaning land of silverMaybe the mined it all up already
>>544546625It's called that because silver that came from the south of south America sailed from ports of Buenos Aires.
>>544541783You are fucking retarded. Go and look at the book Britain and Argentina in the 19th Century - the author was a Canadian leftist historian that set out to write a book exposing how Britain exploited Argentina with "imperialism", only to find out from the data that it was entirely financed by Britain, and only Brits took financial hits in order to protect Argentina, and Britain financed more of Argentina than it did Australia. Argentina was 100% turned from a failing agrarian society into a 1st world one by British money and industry. Their 5 major ports are British creations. Their rail system is. The roads in Buenos Aires are paved in the granite we had as ballast in British ships. Their beef industry is British - as you can see by the fact they're all British cow breeds.Its not even the only book on this, there are multiple major works showing this.https://archive.org/details/britainargentina0000fern/page/n9/mode/2up
>>544546791>into a 1st worldFake, everyone not the 1% was as poor as a modern dalit from India
>>544540917I don't think you anons understand how poor is Argentina.There are some very rich people, mostly jews. Besides that most people live day to day. This money you see, are loans.They have to pay for the loans of three jew presidents that did everything they could to transform a little and evolving Euro type country into what it is today.We got the same fuck you and your success psy op, but we hijacked it.Hence our attempt at recovery.But Argentinians got this psychopathic jew, he is already deep in the pockets of another bank, selling burned land to jews.Messing with our military in the deep south, while also messing with Brazil up north.The attacks on white people have been present and successful in Argentina.We are not white enough it seems.lol.
>>544546882Bullshit, the entire middle class was created by Brits which is why your middle class are into rugby, hockey, rowing etc. It was just the usual shitskin 3rd worldist underclass that were poor.> "Lets destroy everything with socialism so that the poorest people in society don't chimp out and feel shit, lets all be poor as fuck like the native American underclass".Great model for civilisation.
>>544547123For the last 70 years we have been under Anglo-American occupation lol, wtf are you talking about, even the socialist fucks came out in support of Ukraine and Israel lmao
>>544547339> 1936 46% of Buenos Aires were classified as Middle Class.That is 46% more than you would be otherwise. You'd just be Southern Bolivia otherwise.How is Anglo-America occupying Argentina, and how is that related to Britain? Britain has no influence there now, which is why you spent most of the post war period being poor.
>>544545855>>544546121the dutch took it, now its probably in chink hands or in some swiss vault
>>544547123those sports were never 'middle class' but elitist.All the clubs were started by richfags.We were an agrarian peasant society where 0.01% had all the wealth, they literally just sold massive harvests of wheat and meat and used the money to make themselves feel like Europeans. Building huge haciendas for themselves while the rest were living in huts.Exactly the same as all LatAm countries.Just another Colombia or Bolivia.Hate Peron all you want but he just wanted us to be something else than a plantation colony.Which is what a country that only sells raw materials or food is, a colony.
Also reminder that before Peron we were getting indebted to ((international banks)) big time. Cause there wasnt enough from imports to run a country when the richfags were taking 99.9% of money for their own luxury and investing fuck all in infrastructure
>>544540917How the fuck are we above Norway?
>>544548464enough from exports*
>>544548295No, we helped create a middle class that was half of BAs population, and Peronism squandered it. You were richer than Spain per capita, and Peronism ruined that. You were not a British colony - you weren't prevented from industrialising.
>>544541444Lol Argentina was not rich because of you, anglokike. They were rich despite your best efforts to kill them like the irish. Bitch. Now go get stabbed by a Paki and die like Henry Novak, while your Bobbies rob you of your BBC loicense payment
>>544548486In 1910 Norway didn't have its oil industry
>>544541783This. The Moortuguese gets it
>>544548644>>544548675Check out the seething kraut. Can't handle the historic record that Brits helped finance multiple non-Anglo nations to a higher living standard than Germany had, so all he has is impotent rage wanting Brits to get stabbed.
>>544540917Nigga worry about your own country that is burning.
>>544548519we were definitely not richer than any western euro country lmao.its just that a few minority was soo fucking rich, that it skews the statistics, makign it seem like everyone is rich.If i have 1 million usd, and my other 100 country men have only 10k in total (100 usd each),that is 1.010.000 / 101 = 10k per capitawow we're rich! lolmeanwhile in reality, each pleb has 100 usd and one richfag has all the money
>>544548519>you weren't prevented from industrialisingwe were. It was never in the agrarian elite interest to industrialize.They still sabotage all attempts to this very day!Its no business for them for the country to industrialize. Its pretty obvious if you got at least two brain cells
>>544540917The secret ingredient is crime. Systematic theft and mismanagement of resources by public administrators. Given how things are in France you´ll learn about it soon enough.
>>544540917It was all concentrated in a very few hands (most of them were jewish btw). The rest of the population were extremely poor. Argentina was never rich, nor white.
>>544548664They sure did!(But it was whale oil and cod liver oil back then)But we had stopped whaling mid 1800s and had little other serious industry to replace that money cow.
>>544549527>weObviously we're talking about whites not the rural mestizo gaucho population which you're part of. Whites were doing well and the middle class was increasing all of the time under British influence.
>>544549894lmao shows you know nothing about my country.the whites WERE the rural population too. Big immigration wave in XIX century. They all went rural. People moved to the cities in the 50s.The whites that were already in cities were rich not middle class.THere was pretty much no middle class before Peron
>>544550065Lies. The migrant population of Argentina is directly a product of British business requirements. Your white population would be half the size, if not smaller without British investment. You'd have a 20m population, of that mostly brown people.> They wus ruralYes, the farming and oil industries which Britain created.Buenos Aires was 46% middle class in 1936.
>>544540917No 24 hour sun
Argentina seems like a cool place. I want to go there.
>>544540917per capitain 1910 the population of argentina was like 10 million
>>544550755>The population of Argentina in 1910 was approximately 6.8 to 6.95 million peopleeven more insane, one city now has more people than that here
>>544544442This…. Evita did her job wellShe created a soap opera to keep the working class distracted while they got fleeced like the sheep in Patagonia.
