South America was never part of the Soviet bloc (the only Marxist country was Cuba). You have a distorted vision of us and a lot of ignorance.
You're right, there are plenty of things I'm ignorant about in Latin American history. This isn't the best format to hash out 70 years of history and why you're nation is not considered an ally of western Europe or the US... but you're not. 🤷♂️
WW2 created a new world order and a new circle of trust... you know who wasn't in that circle?
Which continent has had it's nationa battle civil wars against communist guerillas? Which continent has been destabilized for over 50 years?
There's a reason why Latin America has remained 3rd world. It's not because they're considered allies.
What is the reason?
I don't think there is a single thing, but I would say corruption in their governments for most and civil wars for others. It's certainly not a lack of resources or labor. There's also the race factor, but you said you didn't want to talk about that. Colonialism definitely plays it's part. Same with Africa.... Africa has the gold mines. If gold held such value... then how is Africa poor?
