Question

Three ways Latin American culture was changed by European colonization.

Answer 1

Answer:

The culture of the nations of Latin America was molded through European colonization, which mixed with the native culture gave rise to the creole cultures of each nation. In each country, European culture had a different predominance: for example, in Argentina it makes up almost all of the nation's cultural expressions, with some exceptions; while other countries, like Bolivia, have an opposite culture, predominantly native.

Now, in general, European culture imposed three fundamental components that changed the culture of Latin America:

-The Catholic religion became the predominant religion in the entire region, promoted by the Spanish, Portuguese and French colonizers.

-The social organization followed the model of Roman bureaucratic organization, with a centralized state around a ruler, with separate legislative and judicial systems from this but at the same time linked through the laws.

-The economic organization of nations was based on mercantile and then capitalist production, abandoning the collectivism of the natives to adopt these European economic models.
