The export economy boom in Latin America, while resulting in some positive outcomes, also generated quite a bit of greed as industrialization took hold in those developing nations. While the export boom didn’t start in all of Latin America all at once, it is clear to see that for some time, most of the countries in that region. With much having been lost in the conflicts that arose throughout Latin America in the many years prior, much of the countries turned to relying on others to invest in their economy, which worked as modern technology grew in the booming global economy. The new export-based success in Latin America’s modernization also created more rift for minority groups. People of African and indigenous origins were most often the victims of Latin American modernization, as well as middle-class women insomuch that due to the growing of once family-based companies where women had once played a role, the new firms employed the males of the family leaving women with little room to work in this new society (119). These struggles led to new feminism in Latin America, which opened new doors in civil rights and equality across the nation. Even though the impact of foreign interactions was not equally positive across Latin America, it is difficult to deny that, overall, it jumpstarted progress that would not have been obtained on their own.
