Avant-garde, in French, refers to the people or the experimental, innovative works in art, culture, politics, philosophy and literature. It represents an impact on the limits of what is currently accepted as the status quo especially in the cultural scope. This renewal, modern movements were first produced in Europe in the first decades of the 20th century, from which it extended to the rest of the continents, including <em>Latin America</em>.
To <em>Latin America</em>, the avant-garde movement arrived as the artistic answer to important social changes that they were facing by the time, changes defined by events like World War I (1914-1918), The Spanish Civil War (1939-1939), and World War II (1939-1945). This period is also considered as the Hispanic postmodernism. This avant-garde movement represented a breakdown with the rhetoric and harmonic tradition from modernism, and transformed the poetical language. The <em>Latin American </em>poets from this movement wanted to create a language in a world in which there were no cultural frontiers; with their necessity to express national cultures through their own traditions in order to emphasize in the Latin America's identity roots, and the proliferation of a social message.
By that time, the countries in Latin America, had an autonomy, liberty and democratization eagerness; it is important to note that in Latin America, this movement was artistic but at the same time it was politic. The immediate precedent were: The Porfiriato in Mexico (1876-1910); in Brazil, the rebirth of the oligarchy until the 1920s; in Chile, the frustration of the democratic project by president Balmaeda; and in other countries, a liberal- oligarchic settlements represented by progressive sectors. In other words, Latin America was looking for their autonomy and their identity, assuming with this avant-garde movement the conflicts of a continent, reacting with the social circumstances generated by capitalism.

Explanation:
How Japanese Castles are similar to European Castles
1.They had large and tall walls for protection
2. They often had moats around them to discourage the digging of tunnels
3. They had narrow and steep stairways to make assault difficult
4. They had portholes for guns and for arrows
5. They often had a main gate area that could be used as a trap
6. They almost always had concentric rings of walls to give them multiple layers of protection
7.They capitalized on terrain features - often the best placement was at
the top of a hill or small mountain. This gave a very advantageous
position and view
DIFFERENCES
Unlike European feudalism Japan’s feudalism system did not have a true
pyramid form with the monarch presiding over the less important nobles.
First, the authority in Japan was much less centralized than it was in
the nation-states of Europe. Even though most of the local aristocrats
paid lip service to the emperor, the rugged terrain of Japan made it
very difficult for the emperor to fully control the local aristocracy.
Therefore the local aristocrats had much more power in Japan than they
ever had in France, Britain, or any other European country.
Secondly, even though the lower nobility in Japan (the samurai) swore
fealty to their local lords, the local lords didn’t give the samurai any
land of their own. When the European nobility receives land in exchange
for their military services, the samurai did not join a landowning
hierarchy. Instead of that they were given an independent income from
their local lord based upon what that lord’s lands produced.
In contrast, European knights usually had their own serfs to work the
land the knights received from their lord. While a Japanese samurai
might have had servants, these servants did not work the land the way
they would have done in Europe.
