By the middle of the eighteenth century, most Latin American countries have overcome the initial post-independence decades that were filled by political, economic, and social unrest. Political instability, which was not always obtained by democratic means, and economic recovery, promoted by Europe’s increasing demand of raw materials, created a new atmosphere for Latin American peoples.
