From my readings, i have gathered USA and Canada were extension colonies while Spain extracted most of the resources and left a shitshow in their colonies

Every “new world nation” that was the colony of an Iberian nation is far worse off than the first world nations colonized by France and Britain


It’s cultural

It was worse off way before cocaine and cartels.


It is because it is full of Mexicans.

Wide spread corruption from base level to the highest levels of government is one reason.

You can't have people in law enforcement looking the other way because the criminals toss boatloads of money their way and tell them either take the silver or get the lead.

Mexicans and Central American citizens have more restrictions on arming themselves so the government is not concerned about them opposing tyranny.

I guess Canadians are so polite the government doesn’t oppress their constituents.

Haiti was systematically starved of commerce. Toussaint louveture led a successful slave revolt. The royal euros isolated them.

Socialist mindset. Hard Catholic Priest influence that suports that mindset.

The most pro-US American-esque nation south of our borders is Colombia.

Because they refuse to confront the entrenched cultural problems that plague their society.

Corruption and lawlessness is systemic in Mexico, just as it was for the Spanish in North America past about 1700 or so.


The British and French (sans that guillotine phase) were and have been far superior to the Spanish for about 400 years now, in terms of effective government and establishing productive, intelligent, civil societies. This fact extended to their colonies.

Absolutely. It’s a shame that we took Panama from them to create the Canal. The Colombians are far more favorable as a government and a partner than the Panamanians ever will be.

It’s also a shame that we gave the Canal away just because the UK gave the Suez Canal to Egypt. Thanks Jimmy
