Literature and History

There is a unique relation between culture and history. Literature is a component of history that creates and preserves the history. Literature is defined as an aspect of communication that is verbal or written. It involves the exploitation of resources of language to multiply the effects on the recipient.

In Colombia, the concession of the Panama Canal was acquired in 1903, but the Colombian elites oppose the American takeover. Panamanian insurrection appears then, armed with military equipment marked with the sign "US". The independence was imposed, and Panama became an ally of the United States (Franco, 2007).

Social situation in Argentina remained stable until 1930, when a military coup broke out. In 1946, Peron was elected president of Argentina. Peron and his wife Eva led the implementation of social programs and enjoyed great popularity among the masses. A little-known Colonel, having a minor post in the Ministry of Labor, Peron became president twice: in 1946 and 1952. Along with its popular and powerful spirit of his wife Eva, he had a tough economic reform. The program has paid more attention to Argentina's industrialization and self-determination; it was approved by the factions of the conservative nationalists and workers. Attempts to secularize the state Peron led to conflict with the Catholic Church. Peron's regime was overthrown in ...
