MEXICO
TWO EXAMPLES OF THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS OF IMPERIALISM IN MEXICO 1. 1823: THE MONROE DOCTRINE SAID LATIN AMERICA WAS TO BE IN THE UNITED STATES ''SPHERE OF INFLUENCE.'' THIS MEANT THAT THE LATIN AMERICAN NATIONS MADE FREE TRADE POLICIES WITH THE US AND GREAT BRITAIN. THESE TWO COUNTRIES WANTED TO KEEP LATIN AM ERICA NEEDING THEIR GOODS. LATIN AMERICA STAYED A FARMING NATION. THE US, GREAT BRITAIN, AND LOCAL LAND OWNERS GOT RICH. THIS WAS ECONOMIC IMPERIALISM. 2. 1905: THE R0OSEVELT COROLLARY TO THE MONROE DOCTRINE WAS ISSUED BY THE US. THIS DECLARED THE US AS POLICE MEN OF THE CARIBBEAN.
LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES WERE NO LONGER POLITICAL COLONIES BUT THEY WERE ECONOMICALLY DEPENDENT ON THE US AND GREAT BRITAIN...
BENITO JUAREZ was a president of Mexico in the 1800s. When he was leader he change Mexican constitution, mad the church sell land, and took away the military's power. He also ask Europe for help. His quote, ''Among the individuals, as well as among nations, respecting the other people's rights leads to peace,'' shows what he believed in.
POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES OF IMPERIALISM - the large landowners were very rich and they also led goverment. - landowners made alot of money by growing and exporting single crops. - Latin American countries were economically dependent on the US and Great Britain. +Latin American countries were no longer political colonies. +After 1900 Latin America began to build factories for textile.
