After World War II ended, a new conflict arose, which directly affected Latin America and even Latinos in the United States, pushing them to reflect on their rights as citizens and as U.S citizens, for those who lived in the United States. This conflict was the Cold War. The reason for this was that the Cold War brought forth the knowledge of a new system of government, Communism, which given the characteristics of Latin American governments and their people before, attracted a good amount of Latinos, who were starved for change in the power retained by the oligarchies. This led to conflict in countries like Guatemala, and best known of all, Cuba, where people began to fight back against their old systems and demand better and more equal rights as citizens.
In the United States, the effects of changes taking place in the Latin American nations did not go unnoticed and as after the two world wars, the influx of Hispanics, especially Mexicans and Cubans, increased, they too began to realize that they had the right to demand equal treatment as other U.S citizens. Following after the civil rights movement of African Americans, almost copying them and even allying with them, Hispanics also fought back for equal rights. One of the best known movements was the Chicano Movement of the 1960´s, which sought to fight for the institution and recognition of the rights of Mexican Americans.
McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason, especially when related to communism. The term refers to U.S senator Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisconsin) and has its origins in the period in the United States known as the Second Red Scare, lasting from the late 1940s through the 1950s.
The correct answer is: "tyrannical monarchies in power".
<u>Both the French Revolution and the American Revolution were influenced by the principles of the Enlightment.</u>
The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe in the 18th century and it was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and <u>not in absolute monarchs or rulers "appointed by God"</u>. The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.
Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new independent states based on the Enlightment principles like in Europe.
