This document details the shift in the Caribbean economy from tobacco to sugar production. Initially, Europeans settled in the Caribbean around 1600 and grew tobacco due to high European demand and relatively low initial capital requirements. However, overproduction and competition from Virginia tobacco led to declining profits. Planters then turned to sugar, which required more capital but yielded significantly higher profits due to constant demand and the ability to create various products like rum. This led to the growth of large plantations, increased enslavement of Africans, and the Caribbean becoming a sugar-based economy, supported by European investors.

This content analyzes two periods of dictatorship in Latin America: the Porfiriato in Mexico (1877-1911) and the Oncenio in Peru (1919-1930). Both regimes promoted economic modernization and integration into the global market, primarily through foreign investment and the consolidation of large landholdings (latifundios). This development came at the expense of indigenous communities and peasants, who faced dispossession, exploitation, and semi-slavery. The concentration of wealth and power in the hands of foreign companies and national oligarchies led to social unrest, culminating in the Mexican Revolution of 1910. In Peru, similar policies under Augusto B. Leguía exacerbated the exploitation of indigenous populations through measures like the "conscription of roads," sparking discontent.
