United States of America and Latin America

After the end of the wars for independence of the country Latin America ended up in the hands of certain political cliques headed by dictators - caudillos. The existence of constitutions did not matter in the slightest, especially since they were constantly changed and remade in relation to the needs of a given regime or in accordance with the concepts of a given caudillo. Estimated W. FosterIn Venezuela The constitution has changed 100 times in 15 years Ecuador- 13, in Bolivia - 10, and in total, starting from 1810 BC Latin American countries have had at least 125 constitutions.

The first 40-50 years were ruled by generals and officers of lower ranks, advanced in wars with Spain. They jealously held on to their privileges and even extended them. There was no talk of political freedoms, of social reforms.

The power of the caudillo was most often established by force (as a result of military coups) or with the help of a semblance of elections. Some caudillos held out for decades, others were set up and overthrown almost every year.

Caudilism preserved in Latin america and after the "revolutionary" generals have left the scene: its breeding ground is large land ownership, whose interests are mainly in the army; he was helped to hold on by the weakness and cowardice of the Latin American bourgeoisie.

With the beginning of economic penetration into Latin America United States use "revolutions" and caudilism to their advantage. The dictatorships established with the help of Washington are invariably the most anti-popular, the most corrupt, the most terrorist. This was, for example, the caudillo regime Gomez в Venezuelaset with USA (1908), such were the countless dictatorships that succeeded each other in Panama, Haiti and elsewhere.

The overthrow of the monarchy Brazil. Outstanding event in history Latin America was the overthrow of the monarchy Brazil (1889). It happened, again, extremely peacefully thanks to the combined efforts of the army and the Republicans.

Constitution Brazil (1891) copies the constitution USA. It accepts not only its political system, but even the federal structure. Each of its 20 states has some administrative and judicial autonomy. The official name of the state was "United States of Brazil".

fatal role in history Latin America have played Соединенные Штаты Америки. Of the more than one hundred wars they have fought since their formation, most have been in Latin American countries. The first major aggression USA was the capture of the northern provinces Of Mexico в 1846 BC Government First USA provoked a coup in Texas (belonging to Mexico), then arbitrarily annexed this territory to its own; after that a provocative raid was made on Mexico, and when the latter tried to defend herself, USA declared war on her Abraham Lincoln, future president USA, condemned this war; the president USA Grant called it one of the most unjust wars ever waged by a strong nation against a weak one. But the deed was done. On the captured Of Mexico states grew Texas, California, Arizona and more

В 1898 BC it's turn Cuba и Puerto-Rico - the last two colonies of Spain in the Western Hemisphere. The United States was looking for a pretext for war with Spain and found it when the cruiser "Maine" was unexpectedly sunk in the port of Havana. After a short military campaign Spain should have given up Cuba and other possessions, including Philippines. They moved on to USA.

Around the same period U.S. start economic conquest Latin America, displacing England.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Prisoners need vitamins 05.02.2003

Physiologists from Oxford University (England) conducted an experiment in prison.

A group of 82 inmates were given daily multivitamins with micronutrients and supplements, while the other 90 inmates received the same-looking tablets, consisting only of chalk and sugar. It turned out that those who received the beneficial pills committed 35 percent fewer offenses and violations of the prison regime than the control group.

The fortified prisoners were less likely to show aggressiveness towards their cellmates and prison staff, and behaved more calmly.
