Hi, I'm John Green, this is Crash Course World History, and today we're going to return to two of our favorite themes, the creation of nation-states and the role of war.

And we're going to focus on a region that often gets overlooked in world history, Latin America.

Wait, Mr.

Green, Mr.

In fact, the United States is not America.

This is America.

And no, people in Latin America do not speak Latin.

We call it Latin American because, you know, European hegemony in naming things.

These machines are sold to all of the Latin American governments.

And so every time the CIA went in and overthrew one of the governments in Latin America under the guise that they were communist or whatever, they knew because they had access to every communication that the president, his ambassadors and everybody else.

Now, the heart of the minerals industry is on bolivar state in the southeast of the country is one of the largest states regarding size in the country and it's a powerhouse on that department so keep an eye on that because it's not just about oil but that industry is very important and actually something that i mentioned several times in the past is that venezuela used to receive a bunch of migrants from all over the world, mostly from Latin America, but also Europeans, by the way, Western Europeans.

And one of the migration hubs for internationals, back then I'm talking migrants, not expats, and get opportunities was on Bolivar State because it was a fairly developed mining industry, not just on the mining itself, but on the industrial process.

after the mining, and several companies that then went nationalized, by the way, before the Chavismo era, so this is not just exclusive of the Chavismo, and these companies created thousands and thousands of jobs, very well-paid jobs, by the way, and they were a powerhouse regarding mining, the economic activity in Venezuela.

And back then, when those industries were a point, and of course, the oil industry was a point, Venezuela was a top five, at some moment top five, but throughout the 20th century, back on that era, it was a top 10, top 20 country regarding GDP per capita.

So back then, it was richer than most European countries, actually.

Hard to believe, and it was richer than pretty much every country in Latin America.
