After the Mexican Independence in 1821, the country lived very tumultuous and chaotic times, President Benito Juarez "Laws of Reforms" tried to give the country some stability. After the war with France in 1862, Porfirio Díaz became the President of Mexico and stay 33 years of dictatorship. Those years of suppression generated the Mexican Revolution from 1910 to 1917.

A similar case we find in Venezuela. Simon Bolivar, a great man that fight for the independence from the Spanish in South America. He wanted to create a union of states but faced heavy internal opposition. Bolívar declared himself dictator in 1828.

Today, we see the difficulties the region is living, with the awful case of the economic crisis in Venezuela, and some other countries of the region like Bolivia.
