The Latin American region, or more specifically the Latin Caribbean region, includes territories south of the United States border. It consists of 34 independent states and a number of territories administered by other states, for example Puerto Rico is administered by the United States and the Turks and Caicos Islands by the United Kingdom. Most of these territories became independent as early as the 19th century.

By the end of the 18th century the process of forming the bourgeoisie was getting matured here which resulted in the consolidation of the Latifuna-dyst-Creole layer focused on the foreign markets and the emergence of the Indian Independence. These socio-cultural groups experienced a sharp discontent with the policy of severe restrictions in trade and industry, which was carried out by the colony authorities. At the same time a huge mass of peasants consisting of Indians and Latvians was exposed to a cruel exploitation and tried to get the opportunity to work freely in the land of their ancestors. Hundreds of thousands of slaves who had no rights and were exposed to ruthless exploitation also dreamed of freedom.

The ideas of the Enlightenment had a huge influence on the educational part of the community. The collapse of absolutism in France gave impetus to the armed struggle for liberation.

Spanish is state or official language in 18 countries, in Brazil – Portuguese, in Haiti – French, in Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and English colonies – English. Over 10% of the L.A. population speaks various Indian languages. From the Latin base of the Romance languages, spoken by most of the population of Latin America, came the name of this part of the continent.

The peoples of Latin American countries have passed a long way of development, have created a rich and distinctive culture, in which the features of different cultures – European, Indian, and Negro – are closely intertwined.

The history of Latin America in the twentieth century was extremely complex and tumultuous. It included difficult processes of formation of the modern national industry, formation of the main social groups of the capitalistic society, building of the bases of representative democracy instead of the former oligarchic states.

Although Latin American economies are technologically modernizing, they are still largely based on the export of agricultural products and minerals to more developed countries.
