Spain and Portugal controlled all trade in their colonies. The colonies were not allowed to trade among themselves or with other nations. They were kept dependent on the mother country. In addition, any effort to develop industry in the colonies was crushed. Latin America had to sell all its raw materials to Spain and Portugal. It had to buy all it's finished products from them, too.

This kind of control kept industry from developing in Latin America. Eventually people of Latin America rose up against their foreign rulers.

Why was Latin American late to industrialize?

Latin America was late to industrialize due to a combination of factors, including colonial legacies, political instability, and economic dependence on agriculture and raw material exports. The region's economies were often structured around exporting primary commodities, which discouraged the development of diverse industrial sectors. Additionally, frequent political upheaval and weak institutions hindered long-term planning and investment in industrial infrastructure. Furthermore, external factors, such as foreign intervention and global market fluctuations, also played a significant role in stalling industrial growth.
