[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read somewhere the difference between the outcomes of the North American and South American colonies are the types of natural resources available in each area. South America had a lot of gold and was used as the financial source for the Spanish and Portuguese wars. Therefore, they did not spend a lot of time building infrastructure and establishing roots in their colonies. This isn't the case in North America where gold wasn't discovered until the US became independent. [/quote] That could be part of it. But in general, I don't know why humans want one single reason for complex events in history. There are always multiple complex factors at play. Humans or human history didn't evolve linearly. It is far too complicated to make it simplistic to the point of being a one word answer for centuries of history. [/quote]
