The author argues that if Latin Americans had been allowed to follow unobstructed, their own national destinies without pressure from outside powers, many tragedies might have been avoided. In Latin America, nationalism is not limited to more or less isolated regions but is an important factor in the identity of extant nations. Mexico and Brazil have the advantage of having consolidated their national sovereignty. Now they can test that sovereignty against the problems of political and economic modernization Countries like Nicaragua, on the other hand, must defend their nascent national institutions against constant external aggression.
