From the Paper:

"In Latin America, Colonialism and Imperialism were worldwide phenomena in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In "Promises Not Kept" John Isbister states, The nineteenth century was the age of imperialism in the third world, the twentieth century the age of nationalism and independence. Rebels and patriots fought back against the white imperialist, driving them from their lands and creating new nations in the wake of their departure." (Isbister 101) Almost every country in North America, South America, Asia and Africa has experienced imperialism and colonialism of one form or another. Although most of these countries are now sovereign nations, colonialism and imperialism have left a lasting legacy."
