And is that because Spanish and Portuguese economy was base of slaves where the British was base on people moving to the colonies and working and living there.
So the Spanish and Portuguese was just striping the land of resources and having slaves work on plantation or mining and the money and wealth sent back to home country unlike the British where base on people moving to the colonies and working and living there.
I don't see where you get that idea from. The US has a history of slavery. Mexico and Argentina had no slavery. I am going to explain the difference between the US, Canada,Australia and Mexico, Argentina, Brazil.
The main difference is power. Financial, political, militarily, and technological. It is US and Canadian mining companies going to Brazil to take their resources. They just pay some taxes and take the profits. They don't even pay their fair share as it is easy to lie about the invoices and pay less tax. You don't hear about it not even in Brazil because the media is controlled-again-by the US. But you do hear how corrupt a Brazilian company is when it tries to expand to the US.
Another example. A western mining company in Colombia got a contract with the government. When the people ended up knowing there was backlash and the government had to back up. Well, now they are being sued with billions of dollars for "future losses". That is made possible by unfair trade deals.

What is untrue? China has been in Africa for a few years; and in a peaceful way. Europe has been plundering Africa for centuries, through massacres, assassinations, coups, dictatorships, etc.
Venezuela was rising economically in the 1950-1970, the wealth went to a few rich hands. By the 90s people were tired of it and put Hugo Chavez on power. The rest you know.
People should know what actually leads to people turn left. It is what is happening in the west, but people refuse to see.

Now we know you're an unreliable source. Argentina had slavery. They abolished it in 1853.
I take that back. There was slavery in Argentina but it was insignificant. Most of the population in Argentina is of European descend. Your link even says that Argentina was more like "a redistribution center". And my point was that slavery does not make a difference as both the US and Brazil had lots of slaves.
As for the point I was making that the US is turning into Mexico, it is just a matter of going out and see how everything is falling apart. But keep deceiving yourself, maybe one day you'll realize it is the same elite that has exploited poor countries and that you seem to admire has brought the downfall of America.
I consider myself to be a supporter of facts and data. So, I try to make it a habit to back up what I post.
The average IQ of Argentina is thought to be about 86.6.
This is actually higher than that of most South American countries, but it is significantly lower than that of the United States. https://worldpopulationreview.com/co...-iq-by-country
I followed the link, from the page you linked, to the original data.
The data is one dimensional, at best, and appears to have been poorly selected. An overabundance of jargon and useless calculations and formulae appear to be geared towards obscuring an ulterior motive.

Other than that, thanks for posting it.
Facts and data are true, whether we like to believe them or not.

And the southern part of the US was most poorest part of the US and economy besides north east part of US that industrialized. It is finally the north east part of US look past planation owning and mining as economy and industrialized.
The rolling 20s and 30s middle class boom and post WW2 middle class boom buying a houses and no college or university and just Mom and Dad and 6 kids and big SUV was white people. The black people just like black people even today more likely to rent or be in apartments than owning house.
If the south was own country it be no different than Brazil or Argentina.
