War and development in Latin America


War and Nation Building in Latin America: Crash Course World History 225


Published on Feb 11, 2015
In which John Green teaches you about nation building and nationalism in Latin America. Sometimes, the nations of Latin America get compared to the nations of Europe, and are found wanting. This is kind of a silly comparison. The rise of democratic, economically powerful nations in Europe came about under a very different set of circumstances than the way nations arose in Latin America, so the regions are necessarily a lot different. But why? John will explore whether it was a lack of international war which impeded Latin America's growth, which sounds like a crazy thing to say, but you should hear him out.

These crash courses actually do help! I didn't really thing they would but cute creative videos about history do make it more enjoyable to learn about.

John Green seems a lot less energetic here compared to his American History Crash Courses. Otherwise it was a nice video.
