Description
Book Introduction
Latin America, a country with a history of art, romance, life, and suffering!
From the primitive age to the present, a continuous series of events has created an independent culture.
A glimpse into Latin American history in 100 scenes.
"Latin American History Digest 100" is the first book in Garam Planning's "NEW Digest 100" series, which selects 100 important historical scenes from each region and country.
This book covers the history of Latin America from its primitive past to the colonial period that began with Europe's Age of Exploration, and the modern era of the early 2000s, when it overcame its painful history and finally achieved modernization through reform.
The structure of 『Latin American History Digest 100』 is largely divided into three parts.
First, from the primitive era until Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492; second, until the colonial period following the Age of Exploration in Europe; and third, after independence from Europe until mid-2008.
Each section selects major historical events that occurred during that period within the overall flow of Latin American history, and then describes them by considering the interconnectedness of each event.
Latin America is a place where the faces of diverse races and cultures coexist in the past, present, and future, reality and fantasy.
It would be wonderful if readers could truly understand the complex history of Latin America through the Latin American History Digest 100.

Into the book
This great city of Tenochtitlan was built on a lake, and it is only two leagues from any direction to the city center from the land.
… … The city is as large as Seville or Cordoba, and its main streets are very wide and straight.
… … The city also has a large square that is about twice the size of Salamanca.
More than 60,000 people gather there every day to buy and sell all kinds of domestically produced goods.
… … There are about 40 very tall and beautiful towers, the highest of which has 50 steps to the top.
It is much taller than the tower of Seville Cathedral.

On October 12, 1492, they finally landed on land.
Columbus named the island San Salvador (Savior, Redeemer) in connection with the savior.
He thought that the place he had arrived was India, so he called the natives of the Caribbean 'indio', meaning 'Indian people'.
But in reality, it was a small island called Guanaani in what is now the Bahamas.

October 12, 1492: From "Columbus's Arrival in the New World"
Dom Pedro said, “I am ready for the well-being of all people and the overall happiness of the nation.
Tell the people I'm here to stay.
“Now I only ask you to be united and calm,” he replied.
January 9, 1822 is called 'Day of Stay', symbolizing the meaning of Dom Pedro's speech, 'Here I am', and this day became the starting point of Brazilian independence.

In a radio address to the nation, President Allende declared that he would not step down until Chilean workers demanded his resignation, shouting "¡Viva Chile! (Viva Chile!), ¡Viva el Pueblo! (Viva el Pueblo!), ¡Viva los Trabajadores! (Viva los Trabajadores!)."
Soon after, the coup forces bombed the presidential palace, and President Allende sent his security forces out of the palace and met his end in an underground bunker with about 40 civilians.

Publisher's Review
A beautiful land where 33 nations have overcome the passions and hardships of life.
Latin America, humanity's greatest masterpiece, created through painful history
History itself is like that, but Latin American history in particular is so vast that it is difficult to compile it into one volume.
Not only is there a number of 33 countries, but those 33 countries do not have one culture, one people, or one language.
Latin American history is not just the history of Latin America.
It is no exaggeration to say that the history of Latin America represents the history of all mankind.
Latin America is the greatest masterpiece in human history, born from overcoming painful hardships.
《Latin American History Digest 100》 is composed of 100 digests so that readers with an interest in history as well as those new to history can easily understand and digest Latin American history.
By summarizing 100 key scenes and providing detailed explanations, the book also does not miss the diachronic flow of Latin American history.
I hope that through this book, readers can explore the history of each country, culture, and language, and share their passion and pain.
A mixture of life's hardships and the people's emptiness
Why Latin America's Bitter Modern History Makes Us Feel Déjà Vu
Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982 for One Hundred Years of Solitude (Cien Anos de Soledad), once said, “Latin America is a bitter reality where the hardships of life and the emptiness of the people are mixed together.”
This would mean that Latin America has had a history marked by suffering and pain since the European invasion in 1492.
As the saying goes, this vast land called Latin America was exploited as a European colony for a very long time, and in modern times, it was used as a battlefield for ideological wars.
The reason why this Latin American history feels familiar to us is probably because it contains many similar elements to our Korean history.
We too lived through the Japanese colonial period, dreamed of independence, shed much blood on the citizens due to corrupt power and military coups, and experienced much unrest due to ideological wars.
I believe that Koreans are the people who can understand better than anyone else the complex and multifaceted history of Latin America, a history interwoven with the suffering and futility of its people.
Just as we have overcome the painful history of the past and moved forward, Latin America is also gradually growing and moving forward into the future by concluding various trade agreements in modern times.
The Latin American History Digest 100 may be helpful in understanding the background history of Latin America more easily.
