Do you know what caused the depression in the 30's ? Stolen gold promised to the North, 3 ships in total sank. Recently one ship was found, the gold coins were minted in Lima the marks are still there. There is surviving family here in Peru that rightfully own that gold, what did the USA do ? Returned it to Spain. The family in Peru was discredited by the USA government and then allowed to steal the gold once again.

We really can't think of ourselves as "heroes" this much, there's a need for a more down-to-earth and realistic view on our history (even the most recent part of it). So very true!

It is quite surreal how children are taught about Portuguese history... i don’t know about the Spanish, but the Portuguese really have to let go of their romantic view of their history, and particularly of their colonial past.
