America once colonized South America. Based on past examples Colonization of South America would be wrong because Americans would be taking away South America's freedom and increasing violence in their country Americans should not try to colonize South America because it would be taking away their freedom, like the British did to Africa. Notice what happened when the British tried to take over Africa, “Africans lost control of their land and of their independence”(Lugard, F. 1929). The British came over and took South Americans land. The people of South America also lost their own independence. When the South American people did not comply, notice what the British did. “The British put down the movement by arresting leaders and burning their …show more content…

Americans might say that colonizing South America would be a good thing for South Americans because we could teach them what real freedom is or make them feel like they have control. “If there is unrest and desire for independence, it is because we have taught the value of liberty and freedom”(Manzo, 2012). British claim that they have taught the people freedom and liberty, The British made the African American people believe that they had their rights. If South America really had the freedom and liberty, there shouldn't be a unrest for freedom. Before the British invaded or some would say, colonize South America, the South American people had there own way of life and lived the way the wanted to or worked for them. Even if the British or the USA today just wanted to see if South America needed help and they didn't, the British still took over and what would stop the US from doing that?“ We have known the law was never the same”(Manso. 2012), Before the British came to South America and colonized it, the people had their own laws, customs, ways, and it wasnt view as not normal or wrong. The British changed almost everything in favor to what would help the British themselves out. As it was saying, “we have known the laws were not the same anymore”(Manso,

Juan Pablo Viscardo states "Americans, being those most worried by issues of America , coherently should fill the general population workplaces of their own nation for the advantage of all concerned." This implied they weren't going to give anybody a chance to have control over them in light of the fact that the Creoles were the sensible decision. The postulation on the grounds that the Creoles thought it was sensible that they needed to have power in their own nation so everybody would profit by it. Howard J. Wiarda states "Creoles started to consider doing far from the impairment of spanish expansionism and move toward autonomy" by moving towards freedom the creoles would have power and that is the thing that the Creoles needed on the grounds that they thought they were the main coherent decision to govern Latin America. This identifies with the postulation in light of the fact that the Creoles thought it was intelligent for them to be autonomous so spain didn't have control over

This revolutionary was considered a good thing for their, the Creoles, country. The Spanish were people that were not welcome and didn’t have the right to have the power of Latin America.

The American, Haitian, and French revolutions brought unrest in the Atlantic world and generated significant impacts in Latin America during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The Creoles and Mestizos in Latin America became wary after the French government overthrown by the slaves. Most importantly, colonies opposed the ascendance of the new Spanish king when Napoleon crowned his brother Joseph on the throne. As Spain’s power weakened, the colonies slowly disconnected with the Spanish rule and began to call for independence.

The American countries were built out of the countries that conquered it and rebuilt over the constitution that they started. As the other countries expanded to the west, the west became a country itself and as a country, a country wants to expand. As the British, Spanish, and French empires expanded they also lost the lands, conveying the fact that the U.S. expanded slowly and made sure that none of the areas that they conquered would declare war over them for their safety and own laws. When the U.S. expanded they wanted to be sure that history doesn't repeat itself against themselves as they did. I argue that the American expansion was doing whatever a country should do, expand and upgrade, improve the culture, religion, and technology.

American imperialism is economically, socially, and politically damaging to countries, as well as costly for America. Furthermore, it infringes upon national sovereignty and the right to self-governance. Historical cases have shown the detrimental repercussions America has repeatedly caused.

In 509 BC the Romans took over a small chunk of Italy leading to the beginning of the Roman Empire. But this is not the last time a country took over another one and ruled it; another time was on December 10, 1898 when America gained Cuba, and the Philippines as well as Guam from a treaty with Spain. But were they justified in doing so? Some people may argue that they were justified in doing so because they were freeing the Filipinos from the oppressive Spanish rule and that America believed that it was their God given right to expand outwardly right to do so. Other people argue that America was unjustified because they did it for purely racist reasons, while also going against what the country was built on.

In being an anti-imperialist the worrisome is not that one opposes the idea of expansion of religion, commercial, and constitutional. It’s that with the annexing of these tropical islands would come to a result of the American system of self government would be that America might abandon this idea that makes America that nation it is to this point. Three reasons why the U.S should avoid imperialism is because it fails to follow that criteria of the constitution, could lead to tyrants like behavior, and could lead to conflict One argument that can’t be missed is the fact that the constitutions sets forth a principle that states “consent of the governed” after further research this means that to imperialize and annex other islands would violate

The Spanish exploration and colonisation made both a positive and negative impact on Latin America. The arrival of the Spanish explorers to the new world made a big change and they are the reason Latin America looks the way it does today. However these people were ruthless and were the tyrants of the new world. One of Spain’s major foreign policy objectives since the advent of democracy has been to increase its influence in Latin America. Spain has had interest in this area due to historical ties and a common linguistic, cultural and religious heritage (Countrystudies.us, 2017).

Everyone, or in this case, every country, travels at a different pace. Some countries may develop slower than others, but that doesn’t automatically mean they require assistance. Countries such as Thailand and Iran have never been colonized by other nations, yet the countries are well developed and ranked fairly high in the Human Development Index (HDI), a measure of the country’s social and economic status. Mark Twain, a great American writer who was also an anti-imperialist, once said, “It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way.” So if the imperialists truly wanted to help the people, they should let them be and stop interfering in their business.

While the colonization of the America’s was negative for many reasons such as the spread of illnesses, and the forcing of religion upon natives, it was also beneficial to the Native’s because it allowed them to have better weapons and to have different foods and goods in their lives. The Europeans exposed the Natives to many new diseases once they colonized the new areas they discovered. The Europeans greatly impacted the family life and religion of the inhabitants of the areas they found. There was also a lot of exchange going on during the conquest of the Americas because the Natives were excited by the new gadgets they had never seen before that the Europeans brought over.
