  28. Section 4: Economic Imperialism in Latin America • Local strongmen known as caudillos put together armies and made themselves dictators • Revolts often overthrew the caudillos • Still, power stayed with a small ruling class

  29. Section 4: Economic Imperialism in Latin America • Colonial economies had depended on Spain and Portugal • The colonies sent raw materials to their ruling lands • They bought finished goods from their rulers • Later, Britain and the U.S. became trading partners with the freed nations • They took control of prices and set rules governing trade • Latin America came to depend on them

  35. Section 5: Impact of Imperialism • The age of imperialism changed the West and its colonies • The industrial nations of Britain, France, Germany and the United States controlled a new global economy • They sent goods, investment money and knowledge to the rest of the world • In return, Africa, Asia and Latin America supplied natural resources, farm crops and cheap labor

  36. Section 5: Impact of Imperialism • In many ways, colonies suffered greatly under foreign rule • Imported goods wiped out local craft industries • Famines swept lands where farms grew export crops instead of food • Yet, foreign rule also moved countries into the modern age
