Latin American Revolutions: Crash Course World History #31
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
In which John Green talks about the many revolutions of Latin America in the 19th century. At the beginning of the 1800s, Latin America was firmly under the control of Spain and Portugal. The revolutionary zeal that had recently created the United States and had taken off Louis XVI's head in France arrived in South America, and a racially diverse group of people who felt more South American than European took over. John covers the soft revolution of Brazil, in which Prince Pedro boldly seized power from his father, but promised to give it back if King João ever returned to Brazil. He also covers the decidedly more violent revolutions in Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina. Watch the video to see Simón Bolívar's dream of a United South America crushed, even as he manages to liberate a bunch of countries and get two currencies and about a thousand schools and parks named after him.

Dictatorship in South America is a USA/CIA strategy... Unbelievable that this people try to ignore the evil they brought us all - only to preserve their multinational companies. And they go on, killing Brazilian democracy lately, Paraguay, Honduras and trying to destroy Venezuela too. You are our bad luck, greedy neighbours and a very bad star. And besides, you have even stolen OUR names! WE ALL ARE AMERICANS. You are yankees.

Oh my gosh! I feel like a terrible fan and reader. I love your videos and I love to read. I've heard of your books but never put the two together. I prefer books with action or fantasy like Sarah J Maas (She's my favorite author!) and Marissa Meyer. I haven't tried contemporary yet. I think I need to read one of your now lol. You, your bother, and your team are awesome!!
