Anglo America vs. Latin America

European colonization made a huge impact on both Anglo America and Latin America. How you may say? Together, we will find the answer to the question.

Political

The British colonized Anglo America politically by introducing democracy to the people. Today, in the United States of America, we have a President who takes charge and cares for the country. While in Canada, they still remain in the British control. How does this differ from Latin America you may say? Well, Latin America was not just colonized by the British, but also the Spanish. Latin America has also experienced many different types of governments, from monarchy to democracy. Anglo America was also the same way. Some of the countries in Latin America also has presidents like the U.S. does. Both regions are continually trying to make their government better and more stable.

Social

The social things that American people do is very different than what the Latin American people do. Americans like to watch sports such as football and baseball. We also like to go to the movies. We have barbacues with family and friends on the weekends. The language in Latin America is mostly spanish and english is mainly the language in the U.S. The religions are also somewhat different. Since the Spanish colonized most of Latin America, Catholic is the main religion. In the U.S, there is a variety of religions, but most people are Christians.

Economic

The economy of both regions are alike in some ways but also different in many ways also. The currency in the U.S is dollars. Most of the Latin American countries use pesos. Both regions are part of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). By trading with each other, they improve their economy. Right now, America has a very stable market economy, unlike Latin America, they are still trying different types of economy. There is currently an income gap in Latin America that the government is trying to close.  It is really hard to make a business in Latin America for the local people don't have much money. It is easier to start a business in the U.S.

We have now explored the impact of European colonization of both these regions. These two regions have many things that are similar and different, but without each other, they would not have been able to support their countries, politically, economically, and socially.
