South America has avoided two world wars. Why are there no developed countries now?

The political pattern in the second half of the 2th century was a system formulated after the war, which was finally divided into the Cold War and the Soviet Union &; The collapse of eastern Europe. Therefore, the bargaining power of all countries in the 2th century includes the following:

the right to speak in the post-war system.

2, the choice and role of political camp.

diplomatic relations with the core countries (the United States and the Soviet Union). Then, in fact, South American countries do not have any advantages in the above three points. In the post-war system, the right to speak in Latin America is far from influential, and the whole third world is tied up and barely makes a sound (we pretend to be the third world, not counting).

It has always existed as a simple "stabilizing tool" in the political camp, and the political turmoil between the left-wing radical Latin American countries and the left-wing center Latin American countries has always been a bargaining chip for the United States and the Soviet Union in the western backyard. Therefore, in their respective political camps, Latin American countries are chess pieces with no dominant ability. Because of the above situation, it is difficult for them to reach a relatively high-level and equal dialogue level with the core countries. . It was only around the end of the Cold War that the pattern changed because of the power of the world economic and industrial transformation. However, in the advantage of backwardness, Latin American countries are inferior to Asian countries with higher bargaining power, and the political situation in Asia is the main body of dialogue in the whole new century. Therefore, from the end of the last century to the foreseeable future, the strategic diffusion of Latin American countries can basically be confined to their own regions, and it is unlikely that they will have too many world voices.
