Slavery. It brought negros to an otherwise negro-free continent.

Alternative history: negroes don't come to South America. That's it. I'm satisfied with that.

Make a different power colonize them, perhaps Germany or Russia that has the manpower to establish settler colonies rather than the resource-extraction colonies that the Iberian powers were capable of.

Instead of using the shitty French Centralism, use American Federalism.

Convince the Spanish and Portuguese to actually colonize it instead of treat the New World as a hub for resources and riches. Also, push back the natives or wipe them out, phase out slavery, and maybe you'll have a more successful SA.
>>
>>2931047

They didn't have the manpower. Establishing a kind of neo-feudalism of a small white ruling class over a hierarchy of non-white serfs was the best they could manage. If you want a South America with the same kind of settler mindset of the USA and Canada, you need to give the colonies to a country with the population to settle them, such as Germany, Italy, or Russia.

It would have been filled with African slaves. No European is going to travel to the other side of the world to harvest sugarcane or stuff himself inside a mine. There are very powerful economic reasons to explain why Spaniards didn't displace the Natives.

The cold war is why it's a shithole today. They had a prospective future in the early 20th century then not, then again then not. If the US stopped supporting and deposing dictators and let the people sort their problems out it probably would have been better.

Early on, America received investment that LA just didn't get. This led to lagging behind that was exacerbated by the industrialization in other nations since in LA they couldn't begin to industrialize due to lack of capital and of course the warlord-like caudillo system. The lack of industrial resources also played a role in the failure to industrialize. Furthermore, the racial tensions and large illiterate black population was poorly dealt with to say the least. Recall that in the USA we still had sharecroppers living in true destitution, but the north lacked this and was able to easily industrialize without this demographic burden. The capital from the north helped to stimulate the south. American oil and steel is also something that many forget as part of our meteoric rise pre-ww1. Venezuela and the Caribbean has shitty oil, they might as well have nothing

They would have been substituted by a different populist socialist, since that was the zeitgeist at the time, then that guy would have also taken a boost from the commodity boom while taking his share of corruption money. What Brazil needs are transparent institutions and public contracts.

Incas beat spanish. Civil war divides the empire anyway. Southern mapuche tribes gets killed and conquered by the southern inca.

Northern Inca empire extends it's domain to Mesoamerica.
>>
>>2931369
They'll have to get past the Muiscas and natives of the intermediate region first.
>>
>>2931378
Those savages wouldn't last a second against the inca army. Also, the bronze weapons were developed by then. It was a matter of time until they started using bronze armor.

Also, the mesoamerican cultures would start trading with the Incas, so the protowriting would be developed a lot. It could copy the Toltec glyphs.
>>
>>2931401
I thought there was already some trade? At least the Tarascans seem to have recieved traders from South America and their culture has similarities too.
>>
>>2931401
You aren't accounting for Spanish handing out weaponry far more advanced than bronze weapons to the enemies of the Incas, as well as the numerous tools that could have been used to promote political instability and regime change in the Inca empire.
>>
>>2931443
The chimu and moche cultures alongside the incas didn't have relations with the aztecs that's for sure.

>>2931448
>weaponry far more advanced than bronze weapons
You are right. But the iron weaponry and the breast plates can't be "reverse-engineered" so they couldn't build and smelt iron with those.

>political instability
A great factor was the decimation of the people who made possible the society was stable.

The smallpox ruined the hierarchy and communication between villages.

Without those problems, the second coming of the Spanish with their army couldn't beat them.

It's pretty well known that most battles against the inca were fought by native tribes with the same weaponry.

Kill all the people in South Africa. This will solve over half the immigration problem as well as illegal drugs being smuggled in to make drug cartels rich. This also reduces to world's population which is good for the fear of overpopulation we are currently facing. South America should just be a continent for preserving the amazon jungle and wildlife as well as the earth's natural resources.

I propose this should also be done in Africa. Leave both continents uninhabited by humans and let nature take its course.

After reading lots of European history, blacks are lucky to exist to this day. They were at the mercy of Europeans since the days of the Roman Republic.

All it took was one powerful state in European history to adopt nazi like ideologies of race and exterminate blacks.

American Revolution was short of experienced generals but blessed with a number of extraordinary political thinkers. Made it less likely they would win the war, but they caught a huge break when Washington both grasped Fabian tactics and developed a real knack for keeping a dispirited army from totally disintegrating -- he =was able to keep the military part of the revolution going long enough for the political thinkers to draw France into the war, and to make the British understand that they were not going to get a quick victory and return to the status quo. Once the war ended, the fledgling US had plenty of political thinkers to build up a political system that created unity from disparate states.

In South America, they had the reverse of that -- several experienced, competent generals, but a lack of political thinkers and statesmen. Under Bolivar and others, they won their war and their independence. But after the fighting stopped, they had nobody that had thought about how to weld a nation together. Instead, they had all these generals about, who stepped over into the government side of things and started the tradition of military leadership that has plagued Latin America ever since.
>>
>>2935159
Assuming this is historically wise.
This is such a typical American post. Natives in South America were never really a threat and their numbers were always small. The immigration incentive never had anything to do with the natives that were already there.
And if you're talking about modern day you should probably focus on India, China and SE Asia cause that's where most of the population of the world lives (literally more than half).

Or they probably would have just had a different set of shitty dictators.

The prevalence of shitty dictators and generalissimos in South America goes back a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong way.

At least Chinese are contributing to the world by producing goods in their sweat shops. India is a good place for companies to outsource as well as technological advancements and a growing economy. What does cannibalism Venezuela bring to the world?

Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.

Take up the White Man's burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.

Take up the White Man's burden--
The savage wars of peace--
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others sought)
Watch sloth and heathen folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
>>
>>2935251
Take up the White Man's burden--
No iron rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper--
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.

Take up the White Man's burden,
And reap his old reward--
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:--
"Why brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden--
Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness.
By all ye will or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.

Take up the White Man's burden!
Have done with childish days--
The lightly-proffered laurel,
The easy ungrudged praise:
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers.

They literally picked up what has been left after the smallpox destroyed the empire. And they couldn't actually do shit without the tension of the civil war.

Also they had to bring reinforces to beat the incas. You can't even make this shit up.

>>2935276
I'll give you that. The Mapuches were known to be strong and Incas couldn't advance past them.
