Answer 1

After the Mexican Independence

in 1821, the country lived very

tumultuous and chaotic times,

President Benito Juarez "Laws of

Reforms" tried to give the country

some stability. After the war with

France in 1862, Porfirio Díaz

became the President of Mexico

and stay 33 years of dictatorship.

Those years of suppression

generated the Mexican Revolution

from 1910 to 1917.

A similar case we find in

Venezuela. Simon Bolivar, a great

man that fight for the

independence from the Spanish in

South America. He wanted to

create a union of states but faced

heavy internal opposition. Bolívar

declared himself dictator in 1828

Today, we see the difficulties the

region is living, with the awful

case of the economic crisis in

Venezuela, and some other

countries of the region like Bolivia
