How Latin America Has Changed the World (Cómo América Latina Ha Cambiado el Mundo)

Let's do an exercise - since we've already explored how Latin America has been changed by Spanish colonization, by the influence of the United States, and other nations... why don't we spin it around for once, and ask how Latin America has influenced the rest of the world? After all, Italy wouldn't have its beloved tomatoes if not for the Aztecs and Andeans cultivating it; we would not be able to eat fried potatoes if not for Peru and Bolivia; and we have Mexico to thank for corn (which we enjoy in so many ways)! But it isn't just food... it's language, culture, music, metals and other resources, and all of the incredible things that Latin America has shared with the rest of the globe. In this week's episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast, we discover what all of these things are, and how they came to influence the world. Transcript of this episode is available at:
