Bogotazo:
BOGOTAZO https://www.thoughtco.com/the-bogotazo-april-9-1948-2136619
On April 9, 1948, populist Colombian presidential candidate Jorge Eliécer Gaitán was shot down in the street
outside of his office in Bogotá. The poor of the city, who saw him as a savior (Salvador), went
berserk(enloquesido) , rioting (Disturbios) in the streets, looting(saqueo) and murdering. This riot is known
as the “Bogotazo” or “Bogotá attack.” When the dust settled the next day, 3,000 were dead, much of the
city had been burned to the ground.
Tragically, the worst was yet to come: the Bogotazo kicked off (expulsar, comenzar) the period in Colombia
known as “La Violencia,” or “the time of violence,” in which hundreds of thousands of ordinary Colombians
would die.
It began in England about 18th century, was a great economic and cultural change .The
introduction of source of energy “ coal” led to change the hand work to machine-base
manufacturing. Is creates a mass production, used powered machines and factories.
Good Neighbor Policy( politica): Is a diplomatic policy of the U.S. First presented
in 1933.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office determined to improve relations with the nations of Central
and South America. Under his leadership the United States emphasized cooperation and trade rather than
military force to maintain stability in the hemisphere. In his inaugural address on March 4, 1933, Roosevelt
stated: "In the field of world policy I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor--the neighbor
who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others." Roosevelt’s Secretary
of State, Cordell Hull, participated in the Montevideo Conference of December 1933, where he backed a
declaration favored by most nations of the Western Hemisphere: "No state has the right to intervene in the
internal or external affairs of another". In December Roosevelt stated, "The definite policy of the United States
from now on is one opposed to armed intervention." In 1934 at Roosevelt’s direction the 1903 treaty with Cuba
(based on the Platt amendment) that gave the United States the right to intervene to preserve internal stability
or independence was abrogated. Although domestic economic problems and World War II diverted attention
from the Western Hemisphere, Roosevelt’s Good Neighbor policy represented an attempt to distance the
United States from earlier interventionist policies, such as the Roosevelt Corollary and military interventions in
the region during the 1910s and 1920s.
n 1933, the U.S. abandoned an aggressive and militaristic foreign policy approach to Latin
America. In President Franklin D. Roosevelt's inaugural speech in March of that year, he
spoke of 'the policy of the good neighbor' in international relations. In practical terms, the Good
Neighbor Policy meant the U.S. would pursue a noninterventionist approach towards Latin
America, no longer utilizing military force to exercise influence in the region.

Surge un gran número de intelectuales que comienzan a tejer el ideal de crear en América una
república autónoma, rectora de su propio destino; comienzan a valorar las virtudes naturales de la
región, los mitos de origen indígena25 y a apreciar la riqueza de la cultura local, lo que comienza a
gestar un americanismo ascendente. Figuras como las de Francisco de Miranda, Andrés Bello y
Simón Rodríguez en Venezuela, Juan Egaña, Javier Eugenio Espejo en Chile, Antonio Nariño en
Colombia, el jesuita Clavijero en México (PICÓN SALAS, 1953, p. 8-63), destacan como algunos de
esos intelectuales del siglo XVIII que iniciaron la corriente hispanoamericanista.
Be able to write a response in which you compare/ contrast at least two Populist leaders
and how they reflect nationalist ideology
A common feature of populism is its reliance on strong leaders who are able to
mobilize the masses and/or conduct their parties with the aim of enacting radical
reforms. Populism is often guided by strong leaders, who, through their behavior and
speech, present themselves as the voice of the people. “The populist leader” describes
the characteristics of the charismatic strongman, such as Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi and
Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez. Yet, some populist actors portray themselves as voices of
the people by using their gender, profession, and ethnicity.

The Cold War is the name given to the relationship that developed primarily between the USA
and the USSR after World War Two. The Cold War was to dominate international affairs for
decades and many major crises occurred – the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Hungary and
the Berlin Wall being just some. For many, the growth in weapons of mass destruction was the
most worrying issue,
Throughout the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union avoided
direct military confrontation in Europe and engaged in actual combat
operations only to keep allies from defecting to the other side or to
overthrow them after they had done so. Thus, the Soviet Union sent
troops to preserve communist rule in East Germany (1953), Hungary
(1956), Czechoslovakia (1968), and Afghanistan (1979). For its part, the
United States helped overthrow a left-wing government in Guatemala
(1954), supported an unsuccessful invasion of Cuba (1961), invaded the
Dominican Republic (1965) and Grenada (1983), and undertook a long
(1964–75) and unsuccessful effort to prevent communist North Vietnam
from bringing South Vietnam under its rule (see Vietnam War).
Ms Navarro
During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies
against the Axis powers. However, the relationship between the two nations was a
tense one. Americans had long been wary of Soviet communism and concerned about
Russian leader Joseph Stalin’s tyrannical, blood-thirsty rule of his own country. For
their part, the Soviets resented the Americans’ decades-long refusal to treat the USSR
as a legitimate part of the international community as well as their delayed entry into
World War II, which resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of Russians. After the
war ended, these grievances ripened into an overwhelming sense of mutual distrust
and enmity. Postwar Soviet expansionism in Eastern Europe fueled many Americans’
fears of a Russian plan to control the world. Meanwhile, the USSR came to resent what
they perceived as American officials’ bellicose rhetoric, arms buildup and
interventionist approach to international relations. In such a hostile atmosphere, no
single party was entirely to blame for the Cold War; in fact, some historians believe it
was inevitable.
CONTAINMENT

Revolution. The second occurred during the Cold War after World War II.
During 1950s the USA experienced a red scare where people lived in paranoia and
suspicious of the spread of communist ideas into America
