video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
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 Jo-o ever returned to Brazil. He also covers the decidedly more violent revolutions in Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina. Watch the video to see Sim-n Bol-var'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

During this time, Latin America was very unfair on how they treated men vs women even in today's society woman are still treated like this in certain places and situations. For example, it was okay for men to cheat on their wives, but if the wives cheated on her husband she would be severely punished. Another example would be men had the right to be educated while woman were not allowed to be educated. Juana De La cruz was one of the few women during this time who had an education however, she had to be disguised herself as a man but by the time she was 16 years old she spoke five languages and was very intelligent. Unfortunately, she was forced to sell her writings and books because she was a woman and this was considered -wrong- during that time.

I really appreciate how in depth he went into the history of Latin America and included names that i have not heard or learned about before. It seems like each time i watch a video about Latin America there is more to learn and discover which is really interesting. its interesting to see the different blend of races that came out of Latin america and the different leaders that had come and gone throughout the years. how did Portugal manage to stay in tact while their king left to Brazil?

I feel I gained a lot of knowledge about the history of latin America, as I didn't quite understand the origin and how it the revolutions had begun. I also found it interesting how catholic religion played a big part in the history of Latin America and how it has impacted it. I also learned that a quarter of Latin America was mixed, which is interesting to me because a lot of different races are catholic and had possibly carried on the region from ancestors.

It would be really interesting some research and a video on the pre-columbian and advanced civilizations that existed for centuries in very prosperous and rich regions of Latin America, the arrival of Europeans mainly from Spain and Portugal, the development and economies of the Viceroyalties established since the XVI century, and their relationship with the later established British colonies in America.

Refreshingly good take on the South American governments at the end of the video. Honestly, for a second there, a thought you were going to go the other way and criticize -socialist- and -communist- governments, but you rightly pointed out that the more harmful forces are those who -protect private property at the expense of egalitarian government-. Excellent work as always.

Why is it that Latin America is directly critiqued for being patriarchal but other regions and cultures get a pass? I'm not disputing the fact that patriarchy was present at the time in Latin America, but the status of women was no better in other colonies at the time. Why only bring it up in Latin American Revolution and not the American or Haitian?

I hope y'll also know all the Latin militarist and revolutions were created by Europeans and were ruled by Europeans, all the contracts such as the fruit CO. was done by europeans where indigenous people had no say. all america is the 2nd Europe by force where indigenous people live poorly along with the africans.

I never thought about the different race categories and hierarchy would complicate Padre Hidalgo's push for independence. It always seemed that it was easy to point out who the enemy was. Getting all the classes on board for revolutions seems just as hard as the fight itself.

There is so much history about Latin America that I-ve just never heard before! There-s a lot of information in this video, and although it sounds rushed I find it to be a good overview if anything. Spain and Portugal had so much influence over the continent, and it took so much fighting to gain freedom.
reply

It would be awesome to see a breakdown of how race relations, property rights, and the patriarchal values of Spanish society all blended together to create the societies we see in modern times. I wonder to what extent the natives were able to push against some of these values.
