Latin America is a complex and fascinating place. Would you like to learn more about it? Then keep reading!

Just what is Latin America? How do you define it? Latin America comprises the Caribbean, South America, and Mexico. These regions are diverse in culture. They share a common bond of history. This bond was forged when the Old World of Latin Europe met the New World of the Americas. This book takes you through the history of this vast and complex region.

We will explore the days of pre-Columbian contact to European conquest, colonization, and subsequent Latin American independence. We follow the cataclysmic clash of civilizations. Men like Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro waged war on the Aztecs. They also waged war on the Incas. We examine how great and powerful civilizations merged with the culture of their conquerors. We look into how they adopted the conquerors’ lifestyles.

This book then goes on to chronicle the complex development of the truly unique Latin American civilizations that followed. Discover what happened in Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Cuba, and all the points in between. This book follows the triumphs and tragedies that made Latin America what it is today.
