"Judgment comes
from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment". Simon Bolivar
Latin American History Colonization and Independence
Once the
Spanish gained control of the Latin America they
subdued the natives and made them either slaves of
virtual peasants. Spanish language, culture and
religion was imposed and her natural resources were
exploited. Any resistance was brutally subdued.

After centuries of Spanish control the colonialist began
to agitate for independence. Inspired by the
American Revolution men
like
Simon Bolivar and
San Martin organized
armies and eventually overthrew the Spanish government
and established independent nations during the 19th
century.
