There does seem to be a pattern showing that the richer countries are in the north, and the poorer countries in the south. While there are some clear exceptions (Australia) it does seem that North America, Europe and Japan are far economically superior to South America, Africa and the Pacific. Perhaps it is because the people of the European region were among the first to develop superior technology and general civilisation. They also introduced these traits to other countries, particularly northern (U.S. and such). This is the only possible reason I can think of. If there are any additions to this, they would be greatly appreciated.
There are no valid reasons for country's to have borders.

imperialistic
America's expansion in the 1900's was because European countries were expanding. America hoped to match them.

Because of the Industrial Revolution. That was when the U.S. started working more in the industry instead of farms and such. European countries still had agriculture then and were very poor. Therefore they came here for jobs on the industrial businesses.
To gain economic benefits
The same reason every European country set out to conquer others- To establish their superiority over OTHER European countries, gain wealth, steal natural resources, and spread their religion to the native peoples.
Latin America is many countries and not just one nation. Each has had its own problems and reasons for revolution.
