"A History of Latin America" is Professor Hutton Webster's important attempt to apply anthropological theory to historical research. It is a general history with complete content and a novel perspective. This book tells about the Indian Age, the Age of Discovery, the Colonial Era, the War of Independence and the Republican Era in Latin America. What was the Indian civilization like before Christopher Columbus discovered the New World? How did Spain and Portugal peacefully divide Latin America? How did Spain and Portugal effectively rule their Latin American colonies? What is the relationship between Enlightenment thought, the French Revolution, the War of Independence of the Thirteen Colonies in North America, and the War of Independence in Latin America? Although Latin American countries entered the republican era after independence, why did they not usher in peace? How did the Monroe Doctrine affect Latin America? This book will explain them one by one.
Reader comments
This book is an old one: the original version of "History of Latin America" by Hutton Webster was first published in 1924. Therefore, the content of the book is relatively old, but in contrast, the author's classification is careful, and the whole book is very organized. The only pity is that Latin America after 1955 cannot be seen. Because the author unfortunately passed away in a train accident on May 20, 1955.
This book is so rich in content! It tells the history of Latin America, including the Indian era, the colonial era, etc., And gave me a deeper understanding of that region. I particularly enjoyed the parts about Indian civilization and Spanish and Portuguese colonization, which were very interesting. Moreover, the pictures in the book are also very beautiful, which made me feel the style of that era more intuitively. All in all, this is a book well worth reading!
Finally, I was no longer dazzled. Write every historical figure and thing in the form of a total score. If you are interested in American history but find it difficult to chew, you can join @Lengluowanyang
