  1. Why is Latin America authoritarian (Military Dictatorships in abundance) whilst North America is democratic ? The answer lies in 500yrs of history. North American settlers came from Northern Europe which was protestant and in the case of Britain the founder of Parliamentary Democracy. South and Central America were settled by authoritarian Catholics and despotic Monarchs. Philip II ordered all Olive trees to be destroyed in one colony because olive oil was exported to America from Spain. The Jesuits ran the civil service, education, etc, and enforced Draconian censorship. The wealthiest person in any region would be the governor who was an idle aristocrat. The wealthiest institution would be the Catholic Church. North America had representative Protestant Churches (elected councils), representative governance (democracy), freedom of speech and education. The wealthiest person in a region might be associated with oil or railways or farming or industry. In the north there wasn't a bone-idle aristocrat to be found. Nor was there a super-wealthy authoritarian church. In 1700 when militarism became fashionable in Europe : for the first time Royalty would be seen in uniform....... I''l let you finish this for homework. (Obviously the Latin Americans go all in for militarism it appeals to their authoritarianism.)
