In the 1930's, numerous countries in Latin America started to become more and more attracted to the idea of having their economy commanded by themselves.

This led to the so called economic nationalism, where the governments took over the majority of the most important natural resources and facilities in their countries in order to strengthen the economy and provide long term stability.
