In which John Green talks about the many revolutions of Latin America in the 19th century. At the beginning of the 1800s, Latin America was firmly under the control of Spain and Portugal. The revolutionary zeal that had recently created the United States and had taken off Louis XVI’s head in France arrived in South America, and a racially diverse group of people who felt more South American than European took over. John covers the soft revolution of Brazil, in which Prince Pedro boldly seized power from his father, but promised to give it back if King João ever returned to Brazil. He also covers the decidedly more violent revolutions in Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina. Watch the video to see Simón Bolívar’s dream of a United South America crushed, even as he manages to liberate a bunch of countries and get two currencies and about a thousand schools and parks named after him.

About the Brazilian Independence being bloodless, that depends on where you were at the time. In my state (Bahia) there were much fighting for almost a year, to the point Independence of Bahia holiday is celebrated in different day than Independence of Brazil
I’m Latino and when I heard “the most successful country in Latin America” I’m like o Argentina and he’s like Brazil 😂
Why is it that Latin America is directly critiqued for being patriarchal but other regions and cultures get a pass? I'm not disputing the fact that patriarchy was present at the time in Latin America, but the status of women was no better in other colonies at the time. Why only bring it up in Latin American Revolution and not the American or Haitian?
A video on Plan condor would be really interesting
Refreshingly good take on the South American governments at the end of the video. Honestly, for a second there, a thought you were going to go the other way and criticize "socialist" and "communist" governments, but you rightly pointed out that the more harmful forces are those who "protect private property at the expense of egalitarian government". Excellent work as always.
Sooooooo stereotypical…. almost find it offensive.
i´m a bit dissapointed

You got Creoles wrong. Actually, Creoles are a mixture of White and Native American Indian.
Try not talking that fast
i absolutely lost it when he called brazil "sexy, big brazil"
Why is Latin Widely used in scientific and legal communities?????
What does he mean with multiculturalism existing in Latin America?
What, no Francisco de Miranda? No Bernardo O'Higgins? You cut these out to save time but managed to cram in a joke about Canadians that is of no interest to anyway outside North America? Meh.
My teacher really making us watch this
I love your videos but, Iturbide became Emperor not king of Mexico
I see a lot of people in the comments section talking about specific Latin countries revolution from tyranny but there still going through it today it a never ending cycle of revolutions in America we only had two third revolution that was it Latin America has one every 20 years or 10 it it shows they want anarchy more than government
"It's called 'artistic license.' Put that in your luggage." ROFLMAO
Why did you call the New Mexican and Brazilian rulers Kings? They were Emperors! How could you make such a mistake like that!?
I hope y'll also know all the Latin militarist and revolutions were created by Europeans and were ruled by Europeans, all the contracts such as the fruit CO. was done by europeans where indigenous people had no say.. all america is the 2nd Europe by force where indigenous people live poorly along with the africans.

It would be really interesting some research and a video on the pre-columbian and advanced civilizations that existed for centuries in very prosperous and rich regions of Latin America, the arrival of Europeans mainly from Spain and Portugal, the development and economies of the Viceroyalties established since the XVI century, and their relationship with the later established British colonies in America.
I was very surprised to hear how Napoleon really did indeed make Latin America more complicated than it already was. I previously remember learning about him and his impact in Colonial Latin America but this really went in depth on his impact, loved to hear about how the church and region itself has grown and changed over the years and become what it is today.
Dah, such a poor video about such a rich, bloody and and interesting story over there!
3:57 not gonna lie it took about 4 videos to finally laugh at one of your jokes. be proud of yourself
why cant you just talk at a normal speed? Useless
It's crazy to see how influential Napoleon was in the history of Latin America. Also, to see how much power the catholic church had is insane. I feel like their power is still there even though it's not as much as before, but considering the popularity the Pope of Catholic church is getting from around the world, it's still true that the Roman catholic church is still very powerful.
I did not know that the Portuguese moved to Brazil becuse of Napoleons invasion, the fact that in Brazil they speak Portuguese makes a lot more sense. Also that Brazil was a monarchy and becuse of this it was the last country to remove slavery.
It is interesting that the church was able to have so much power over the people. The church and the crown seemed to work together ruling over the people. The church's power seemed to be so strong that it was kinda its own rule.
I feel that every day I'm learning something new about latin America from seeing how races where divided into cast to Brazil being rule by Portugal and the independence movements of latin America countries. Also, it was interesting to learn abut the three institutions that control the population in Latin America: Spanish crown, church, and patriarchy.
I was not surprised when he was talking about how the catholic church had such a hold on the rule of the government and peoples everyday lives. Husbands basically had complete control over their wives lives which was very unprogressive, and although they've gotten a bit better in modern day, its still not where it should be.
You forgot about Central America independence
I feel I gained a lot of knowledge about the history of latin America, as I didn't quite understand the origin and how it the revolutions had begun. I also found it interesting how catholic religion played a big part in the history of Latin America and how it has impacted it. I also learned that a quarter of Latin America was mixed, which is interesting to me because a lot of different races are catholic and had possibly carried on the region from ancestors.
During this time, Latin America was very unfair on how they treated men vs women even in today's society woman are still treated like this in certain places and situations. For example, it was okay for men to cheat on their wives, but if the wives cheated on her husband she would be severely punished. Another example would be men had the right to be educated while woman were not allowed to be educated. Juana De La cruz was one of the few women during this time who had an education however, she had to be disguised herself as a man but by the time she was 16 years old she spoke five languages and was very intelligent. Unfortunately, she was forced to sell her writings and books because she was a woman and this was considered "wrong" during that time.
Revisionist, loves the sound of his own voice and nauseatingly liberal…"This machine kills fascists"? Really? Pretty sure that everyone hates fascism but do you really need to inject your left-wing political agenda into the history presentation?
It was interesting how if some individuals became successful they could become legally white. Also, it's sad to hear that patriarchy ripped some women of their achievements.
I really appreciate how in depth he went into the history of Latin America and included names that i have not heard or learned about before. It seems like each time i watch a video about Latin America there is more to learn and discover which is really interesting. its interesting to see the different blend of races that came out of Latin america and the different leaders that had come and gone throughout the years. how did Portugal manage to stay in tact while their king left to Brazil?
