Latin American Economic Area of the Western-Christian Civilization.
The Latin American Countries seek to integrate their economies. Several integration projects are underway: UNASUR, ALADI, ALBA, MERCOSUR, and the Andean Community. Latin America seeks its identity based on
a common history (former colonies), language (Spanish and Portuguese), religious (Christianity), ethnic (although we should consider the existence of different ethnic groups).
Latin America differs from other areas of the Western-Christian Civilization in several aspects: influence of the Amerindian religions, no influence of Protestant Reformation, the Latin American Countries were colonies rather than colonisers.
Christianity is the main religion of Latin America. Latin America has been eminently Catholic, but Protestantism is becoming increasingly important.
The Latin American Countries of the Pacific are increasingly turning to the Asia-Pacific region (Chile, Peru, and Mexico belong to the APEC).
Perhaps Mexico is an exception (member of the USMCA/NAFTA 2.0). Surely, Brazil is becoming the Central State.
Several Latin American civilizations had arisen in pre-Columbian times. Arnold Toynbee identified four pre-Columbian civilizations: the Andean civilization (the Universal State was the Inca Empire, and Inca religion -Viracocha-),
Maya (Mayan religions, polytheistic), Mexican and Yucatan (absorbed by the Mexican), none has survived. Although it should also be considered
Olmec civilization (Mexico).
