Latin American Economies in the World Trade
Latin America experienced notable changes throughout the 19th century. The
population grew from 20 million inhabitants in 1820 to 62 million in 1900. Foreign
trade went from 50 million dollars in 1825 to 800 million in 1885 and over 1000
million in 1900.
ORIGIN OF LATIN AMERICAN IMPORTS
In addition, Great Britain was the source of a good part of the Latin American
imports until the decade of 1870. However, by 1890, the U.S. and Germany
strongly defied British leadership
DESTINATION OF LATIN AMERICAN EXPORTS
Thus, in the late nineteenth century, Latin America was firmly incorporated into
the international division of labor, by which Latin Americans exported primary
products (minerals, food without Process).
The history of the incorporation is
summarized as follows: Argentina
and Uruguay began, with the export
of leathers, skins, and tallows to
Europe. Chile was followed, with the
sales of flour, oil, and wine
demanded by the new population
arriving in California because of the
gold rush (300,000 people between
1848 and 1855)
