Would Latin America be less shit if the Spanish implemented settler colonisation like the Brits?
never know because they divided their thing specifically for imperial lands, the colonial court system was a part of the imperial court appointed loyaly
while the colonies were at the beginning private ventures that submitted to british laws, a few being private enterprise to the crown, their laws are made up by the colonials and those that practice it are elected, they didn't need crown permission
only later when the uk founded australia and canada they started sending their loyal officers of crown representation
in colonial america they were just local garrison commanders

Without a doubt.
>implying the british could hold an empire against the mighty aztecs, mayans, incas and mapuches back when they were irrelevant
Also, no.
>le british colonies are 1st world meme
*tips india*
Spanish instead of colonizing, they explored.
There's a huge difference.
>>52156681
nah, they went straight for the gold
the brits had to grow crap
There were 40 million people in central/south America when the Spanish arrived. The Phillipines were already heavily populated as well. The only populous countries the British colonised were India and Egypt, both of which are still shitholes.

Best queen.
Without a doubt, The indios would probably be on the verge of extinction and mongrelization would have been far less common.

The populated parts of central/south America were the Inca and Aztec Empires, weren't they?
Brazil and Argentina look like they should have been as populated as most of the US.

spaniards were pretty dumb desu
>steal gold, introduce it to their economy, massive inflation
>instead of helping other spaniards settlers to defend our territory agains brit and french territories, lets make fun of them
>oh no, the 13 colonies have declared independance, lets keep exploting our colonies, its not that they could rebel againts us
>oh well, they've declared independance, lest try to invade them again instead of learn from our mistakes and become allies
bonus bait
>have 3 civil wars in less than 100 years
spanish colonies were shit because the spanish government was shit and colonists replicated the same institutions
the spanish crown defaulted on its debt 5 times in a 20 year period, even more than modern argentina
>>52156722
Brazil had only 2 million of the 100 million natives in the Americas, even though we have 40% of the Latin America territory, and were still a shithole

Central Colombia was also densely populated. Muisca civilization.

They probably would have allied with the Aztec and utilized them to expand influence and gain wealth, like what they did with the Maya during the caste war.

The Brits could've easily wiped out Mesoamerica's empires for the simple reason that smallpox would do 80% of the work for them.

Don't forget
>Shit, we're in debt, hold off on in paying our loyal soldiers
>What do you mean they bribed our soldiers into abandoning their garrison?!
>>52156339
virreynato del rio de la plata was colonized that way, it's shit anyway, see for yourself
>>52156339
Maybe, but all they wanted was gold and silver, that's why the Southern Cone was irrelevant as fuck for the empire.

Thanks to the huge african slaves that we and portugueses brought.
Concerning the thread, I don't know about USA but in here, our most valuable resources were sent to Europe back with the Portuguese monarch. I mean not only gold and silver. Another thing to mention is that Brazil became idependent already in debt with United Kingdom because they were bullies and otherwise would fuck up with us. Basically, our economy was a bitch of UK. Not that it justify anything but...
