Chapter 5. Latin America and the Caribbean – from European invasion, genocide and slavery to US hegemony

Chapter 5. Latin America and the Caribbean – from European invasion, genocide and slavery to US hegemony

“As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and famished, had no milk to nurse them with, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7,000 children died in three months.”

Bartolomé de las Casas on Spanish enslavement of Indians in Cuba 1

“The bodies of these Indians and of the slaves who died in the mines produced such a stench that it caused a pestilence … the flocks of birds and crows that came to feed on the corpses were so numerous that they darkened the sun, so that many villages along the road and in the district were deserted.”

Fray Toribio de Benavente (Motolinia) on Indian slaves of the Spanish 2

“This is a dark picture, but how much more shocking is the undeniable fact that all the women who appear above twenty years old are massacred in cold blood! When I exclaimed that this appeared rather inhuman, he answered “Why what can be done? They breed so!”

Charles Darwin recounting a Spanish commander’s view of genocide in Argentina 3

“When Darwin published The Descent of Man in 1871, the hunting down of Indians was still going on in Argentina, financed by a bond loan. When the land was cleared of Indians, it was shared among the bondholders, each bond giving a right to twenty-five hundred hectares.”

Sven Lindqvist 4

“I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps … And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism …I helped make Honduras “right” for American fruit companies in 1903…I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street … Looking back on it I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

Major General Smedley Butler (1888-1940), one of America’s greatest generals 5

5.1 Overview

Christopher Columbus arrived in the Caribbean in 1492 and the decimation of indigenous peoples commenced. The general pattern in the Caribbean involved Spanish invasion, enslavement of Carib and residual Arawak Indians and importation of African slaves to work sugar and cotton plantations after Indian populations crashed due to disease and violence. 6 British, French, Dutch and Danish colonial involvements were followed by major US interventions in the 19th century. Haiti and the Dominican Republic achieved independence in the 19th century but US hegemony was reinforced by post-WW2 military invasions. Similarly, Cuba achieved independence from Spain but was immediately seized, together with Puerto Rico, by the US. Since the 1960s Cuban independence has been associated with sustained US economic blockade and threat. Most of the very small Caribbean islands variously gained independence in the post-1950 era with continuing neo-colonial arrangements and general US hegemony involving commercial domination, threat and invasion in the case of Grenada.

In Central America the pre-colonial Aztec and Maya civilizations were remarkable for their social organization and public architecture. Spanish invasion in the 16th century led immediately to decimation of indigenous populations by disease and colonial violence. The subsequent Spanish colonies achieved independence in the early 19th century with politics involving liberal/conservative and military/civilian dichotomies. However there was major repeated commercial and military intervention by Britain, France and the US in the 19th century. Thus the US successively removed huge swathes of Mexican territory and excised Panama from Colombia, the British excised Belize and the French installed an Emperor in Mexico. US hegemony expanded further in the 20th century with direct and indirect military involvements and long-term physical occupation in the case of Panama. Honduras-based US military backing of rightists against the left was variously associated with prolonged civil wars and huge civilian deaths in Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador in the post-1950 era. 7

Papal intervention determined general Portuguese confinement (with minor perturbations) to Brazil with Spanish conquest of the rest of South America. Portuguese invasion was associated with decimation of indigenous populations and the consequent need for African slaves to work sugar, cotton and coffee plantations. Decimation of indigenous Arawak, Chibcha and Carib peoples through disease and violence led to African slavery in the Atlantic countries of the Caribbean islands, Colombia, Venezuela and French, Dutch and British Guiana. Spanish exploration of the Amazon caused utter devastation of a sophisticated Amazon basin agrarian civilization. Spanish conquest of Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Chile destroyed the sophisticated Inca civilization through disease and enslavement. Indigenous societies in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay were variously destroyed by disease, dispossession, war and ultimately by explicit, merciless genocide in the 19th century. Brazil achieved independence associated with Anglo-French war in Europe. Revolution against Spanish rule variously succeeded under Simon Bolivar in the early 19th century. Subsequent social development in the Spanish and Portuguese countries involved liberal/conservative and civilian/military political tensions, European immigration and malignant external intervention (primarily from the US, Britain and France). In the 20th century, US hegemony was reinforced by explicit military invasions, commercial dominance, backing of military régimes against socialists and malignant interference, most clearly seen in the US-backed overthrow of democracy and associated mass murder in Chile.

5.3 Summary

Human settlement of the Americas dates back to about 15,000BC. Populous civilizations along the Mississippi and the Amazon and in Mexico, Central America and Peru were destroyed by European invasion in the 15th-16th centuries that was accompanied by disease and brutal slavery. African slavery was introduced to man plantations because of the decimation of indigenous people. Papal interventions delineated Brazil (Portuguese) and Spanish-dominated Latin America. British, Dutch, Danish, French and Courland (Baltic German) colonialism, largely in and around the Caribbean. The 19th century saw independence from Spanish and Portuguese rule, followed by increasing Anglo-American interference and horrendous “commercial” genocide of Indians in Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. The Spanish-American War at the end of the 19th century established US hegemony in Latin America and the Caribbean that was repeatedly backed up with egregious force. Repeated violent US invasions and interventions and US backing of violent military dictatorships and right-wing terrorism has dominated the latter half of the 20th century. The 21st century sees very general democratization but with increasing competition for finite global resources Latin America is under serious threat from a violent, powerful and unilateralist US Empire. However current massive electoral support for leftists Chavez (Venezuela), Lula da Silva (Brazil) and Morales (Bolivia) suggests that the US administration has compromised “traditional” US Western Hemisphere hegemony through its obsession with violent “democratic imperialism” in the Middle East and Central Asia.
