Populations that are geographically situated in the western part of the globe today called Latin, have been bullied, conquered and exterminated by the greed of the two major imperialist powers of the time, Spain and Portugal. The two countries implement a project that led to destruction of the indigenous ethnic zeroing of America Columbus called "Indians", or inhabitants of the East Indies, Indian, a term still in use. It took decades before the English Crown invited to speak no more of "conquest" but "discovered" and put an end to the slaughter. The book "Economic History of the World" by Rondo Cameron and Larry Neal, the fifth chapter deals with the extremes of time between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, which bound the so-called "second European logistics." During the period which they defined any major changes beyond those already well documented by historians. At its end the European and world economy were hugely different from what had been in the fifteenth century. The most obvious difference was the huge expansion of geographical horizons. The explorations and innovations were disruptive: the compass, the pilot books, maps and new boats, faster, made the trip safe. It was an advantage to Spain and Portugal which, thanks to favorable policies implemented by governments fans, the premiere for a long time both in the seas of the West and in those of the East. America at the beginning was long the scene of bloody clashes, and to pay the higher prices were the natives. Peaceful people had for long years and endless to reckon with men willing to do anything. America was rich in gold deposits, this is what European explorers sought. The current configuration of American began to be drafted by the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1493 when Pope Alexander VI issued three bulls. In practice, the claims of world domination put forward by the two powers in the field, thought it well to indicate a meridian, entirely arbitrary, located about off the islands of Cape Verde: the lands to the west of this meridian were English those to the east Portuguese. The conflict lasted for years. Was resolved by Charles V, in exchange for a substantial sum of ducats, gave up the claims of domination in the Pacific region. Most of North America, however, gained its independence in the early decades of the nineteenth century when it spread to the English-American tradition, reminiscent of the old English empire (terrible conquistadors) and excluded the vast Brazil. It was therefore preferred, for a certain period, the Ibero-American denomination. The presence of an 'Anglo-Saxon America, which appeared as white, Protestant, and growing, compared to an America that they wanted mestizo, with a strong religious syncretism and disorganized, hurt the pride of many intellectuals.

The men aboard the "Caravelle" caused huge disruptions of Columbus, was obviously inevitable. Today, just beyond the historical considerations, there are still many Latin countries who live under difficult conditions. The hope is that these people can express themselves freely, once and forever. We modern Europeans to accept the de facto "a new cultural entity, the Latin American, very alive for thrills, strong values \u200b\u200band historical links.
