Currently reading Open Veins of Latin America. I knew of the exploitation the colonizers and imperialists did but reading the stats and stories of the earlier periods just makes my jaw drop. I also wasn't aware in the 1800s after Paraguay kicked out the Spanish, they were the only nation in the continent that wasn't controlled by foreign capital and were pretty self sufficient. Obviously that wasn't acceptable to the imperialists so the British helped fund Brazil and Argentina to start a war with Paraguay. Paraguay lost and have been under the boot of imperialists since then.
