In the 1970s, Latin American nations grew more dependent as they attempted to maintain their weak economies by borrowing money. Between 1970 and 1982, debt to foreigners grew from 27 billion to 315.3 billion. By 1982, a number of Latin American economies had begun to crumble. Wages fell, and unemployment and inflation skyrocketed.
