Why is LaAtm better off than Africa?

Latin America experienced a much longer period of imperialism and control than Africa. Why is the majority of Latin America better than most of Africa?

    Subsaharan Africa was only introduced to modern political institutions in the late 19th century, when most Latin American countries had already developed stable governments. Nearly all of SSA also missed out the post-war economic boom, and indeed empoverished, due to chronic instability.

            This literally isn't true, but there is much variance from country to country. Africa is a damn continent and has over 50 countries. But then again the fact that you post Somalia, one of the top 5 biggest shitholes in the world, as a stand-in for the average country is a testament to how little about the continent you actually know.

            Police forces are part of government control over their civilian population. The point is that it wouldn't make sense for a country wich has a very low reach on it's population to have accurate criminal records.

            Yes that would be correct in situations where those conditions actually apply which you obviously you don't actually know. Just like most of IQfy you make shit up that you think sounds believable based on a conclusion you made up in your head.

            You were crying about focusing on individual countries instead of entire regions like latin america and susaharan africa. Africa as a region has way worse statistinc in general than latam, that is a fact, so what's your point then?

            You admit it isn't a coincidence. So what exactly is your point you dumb homosexual? African nations tend to be mich shittier and with less control over their populations than anywhere else in the world.

            First you complain about not talking about africa in a general sense and then you cherry pick individual country stats.
            Sure, Bolivia and some central american nations are shit and comparable to the best your shithole continent has, but the moment you compare the whole subsaharan region to latin america as a whole, your copium runs dry.
            Comparing both regions as a whole was the premise in this thread, and even then, apart from criminal violence, Mexico and central america are more developed than 90% of africa.

            You've missed the point entirely. I don't give a shit if Africa on average is worse off than Latam. That IS a fact. You know what isn't? Claiming crime statistics across the entirety of Africa are all of a sudden dismissable because they don't completely confirm "Black folk = big violence." Are all African crime statistics 100% accurate then? No, not by a long shot, and some are off more than others which is where the fact that mentioning that it's an entire continent is relevant. The DRC is a very different place than Kenya
            No shit we're comparing continents but the point you don't understand is you can't just claim statistics in Ghana are massively underreported because Somalia can't control its own land. Even a first grader can see how moronic that logic is.
            Your logic is a literal cope to justify ignoring data you don't like to help push a point which is obvious because you arbitrarily decide this nonargument can't be applied to Latam because they're on average better off than Africa. This is the only point I'm making but you continue to bring up more inane bullshit that's besides this point like "muh electricity access" to further derail the point.
            >And what the frick do you know about latin america?
            Not much, which is why I'm not asserting random bullshit about latin america other than their countries are also susceptible to error. But if you have no actual proof of this significant error, it's absolutely pointless to attempt to prove a point with it like you did.
            >First you complain...
            Everything from this point on is completely irrelevant to my posts and again completely missing the point. Idek how you got to the point that anyone was saying Africa was more developed than Latin America

            Europe is gonna double down on carbon energy investments (and breaking every single green promise) in Africa because of Russia cucking them of gas during the Ukraine war. lmao there are a lot of gas/oil discovery sites in Africa after independence over the decades but many weren't pursued because there were cheaper sources, the infrastructure or FDI investment into infrastructure wasn't there or just politics. Now that western states don't give a frick about Climate Change since Cop26 was basically the west just ignoring the developing world and jacking themselves off FDI in these carbon resources will only grow most likely.

            Couple that with the desperation to access these carbon sources will probably lead to Euros forgetting not realizing that this isn't the colonial/cold war era and these states will probably

      No not really. The idea that Africa is "special" is some shit made by incompetence assailants and media companies who don't want to do the work. The shit you see in either continent has a counterpart equivalent in the other.

      Latin America isn't Mesoamerica, moronic Black person. OP asked about the historical context behind their development under colonial powers. Mesoamerica wasn't much more technologically advanced than Africa, but you can actually draw parallels between the Amerindians who lived in city states and the classical civilizations of the Old World. Everything that isn't a mudhut in Africa was built by Arabs.

      >Everything that isn't a mudhut in Africa was built by Arabs.
      lmao Arabs don't even try to claim that. The only ones who do so are the whites and some browns who can't accept that Africa doesn't 1:1 fit their lame image of it and thus cope like what you are doing.

    Latin America became independent 150 years before most of Africa, so they had a faster head start at industrialization.

    Latin America has fewer landlocked countries. Africa's countries across the Western and Central Sahel and Central Africa are landlocked.

    Latin America doesn't have entire countries that are mostly desert like Africa has across the Sahel.

    14 West and Central African countries have their currencies and reserves controlled by France, it's called the CFA Franc.

    The Coriolanus effect and Andes reduce the temperature and favor tourism. All other answers are idiocy.

    It's because they built their economy on exporting slaves to Europeans. Agriculture, governance, innovation not related to war was useless to them. Africans were kind of like the Saudis, and they collapsed on their own when the west stopped importing slaves. Europeans just came and took everything from the collapsed empires. Some degree of that existed in LaTam, but much less.

        most tribals are democratic, electing a chief from the best among them which is often the most popular among them, the degree to which they understand eachother allows them to make acute and accurate estimations who human quality.
        city states are republican, choosing a leader from a body of great families, known individuals who's household is an example of their ability to organize and lead.
        nations, led properly, are lead by kings, a colossal task demanding a colossal figure.

        The Dutch went from a democracy to a republic to a monarchy.
        Democracy is ineffective above the Tribal Level.
        Republicanism is ineffective above the regional level.
        Monarchy is effective at a national level, and a nation of millions (which is what africa has) demands a monarch.

    Latin America is all semi-settler colonies, and the natives were largely integrated into Spanish/Portuguese culture. Latin Americans descend far more from Europeans than Indians/Africans
    Africa was exploitation colonies. Settlers never even got close to being majority of the population. Closest was the cape colony.
    Really the question is why is Latin America not as rich as Northern America and Australia. Especially the countries with few natives, like Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil.

    I would much rather visit Africa than basically any region of Latin America. The way things are going, it seems like Latin America is already visiting me!
