Latin America / Independence From Colonial Domination :
3 pages in length. Postcolonial Latin America yearned for the
ability to break out from the oppressive constraints of the
dictatorship that precluded its people's opportunity for freedom.
It can be argued that autocratic rule was part and parcel of
Latin America's existence all the way up to the point of its
self-independence that was finally realized by those who had
been held down for so long. Instrumental to the overall
conquest of independence was the coupling of social realities
and intellectual developments, as well as issues surrounding the
economic and political stability of Spain and Portugal. While
many of the motivating factors for freedom were the result of
external forces, there were also some internal elements that
helped to assist the eventual move toward Latin American
independence. The writer discusses Latin America's
self-independence. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Women in Colonial Latin America : A 6 page research paper
which examines the role of women in colonial Latin America.
The colonial world of Latin America was intrinsically different
from that of North America and this difference had a
tremendous impact on the women of Latin America at that
time. Although North America was rich in natural resources,
the natives of North America did not have the gold of the Incas
or the Aztecs. Consequently, the Europeans that came to North
America's shores came to colonize-they brought women with
them. Those early Europeans, specifically the Spanish, that
came to Latin America did so solely for the purposes of
exploitation, not for colonization. Because of this, the Spanish
conquerors typically did not bring women with them from
Europe. The writer argues that the native women in colonial
Latin America were viewed by Europeans as simply one more
resources that they could exploit. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
