    If you somehow united all of South and Central America under a single government, perhaps.

      Be easier to unite Europe. South America is divided as it is because its geographically impossible to run countries across those barriers.

        This is a huge problem for the continent and exacerbates the political dysfunction, South American geography really reinforces its isolation from the outside world and internal divisions - the continent is divided up by extremely difficult to pass mountains, wetlands, and dense rain forests and the most agriculturally and economically important regions rarely have convenient river access flowing in the right direction like the US or Central Europe. It's difficult and expensive to develop economically, growth is hindered, and underfunded and corrupt governments really struggle to maintain order in the hinterlands because of how difficult they are to access - Mexico, Iran, mainland SEAsia, and Afghanistan have similar problems where the geography really helps secessionists and cripples attempts to unify.

          It's still remarkable they somehow managed strong national identities which have ensured they don't end up with continuous border wars.

            South American nations are a lot more like the US than either them or the US want to admit. Culturally, they're also run offs with European roots that had enough of European bullshit and set off to make it big in the new world, fully embracing ideas of liberalism and self-made prosperity. Racially, they're of Spanish and native mestizo stock with enough interbreeding there's no meaningful race dynamics outside of vaguely brown city people and vaguely brown rural people having the usual rural-orban divides.

            There's strong cultural differences between one country and another but this is not due to a history of conflicts, porous ethnic lines and the cramped, dog eat dog fight for living space that Europe and Asia saw, instead they're divided because the barriers between territories is so large, so thorougly disconnecting that the living experience, the traditions and the political realities naturally strayed apart and formed brand new identities. Latin American countries can share a vast amount of cultural aspects from cuisine to odd folklore and customs in commerce and law, but they're still more separate than many European nations.

            This is essentially why there's been so few interstate wars in the continents' history, the borders are more or less set in stone, by tradition and by physical geographical reality.

              Do South-Americans really believe they are culturally more different than Europe? You largely speak the same language—in my opinion the most important factor for unification—, are all suckers for soft-drinks, suppressed local traditions/cultures by the Spanish rulers. Food certainly isn’t more diverse.
              Also the geographical argument for the inability to unite is total bullshit. Europeans had empires spanning the whole world, with fricking SAILING ships.
              The only thing withholding unification is your average IQ.

                I have to agree with the other anon about complete cultural distinctions in SA vs Europe.
                If you stand a Bolivian and a Columbian next to eachother, ask them a question, and make them order food, it would be hard to tell the difference between the two from and outsiders perspective.

                In comparison, if you stand a Belgian next to a Pole you could tell the difference immediately within the first couple of words and even mannerisms.

                This. Language and so-on are better used as rules of thumb than absolutes when it comes to distinguishing and categorizing cultures. Americans and Englishmen both speak the same language, but the cultural differences between them are still massive and easily recognizable. While i can't say much about LatAm countries, as i don''t know too much about them, considering them all indistinguishable from each other because they all speak Spanish would be oversimplifying matters too much.

                I’m willing to bet Latams report as little as shitrags do too, Chicano communities in the USA are notorious for no snitching policies as the blacks are aswell. Maybe you can apply this logic to dirt poor and super corrupt Bolivia and Paraguay where large swathes of the population dont even speak Spanish and are semi illiterate, but latams being beyond violent is a documented fact where even petty gang wars in Uruguay would make Isis gays blush

                It may happen once they overpopulate and no longer enjoy vast space to expand into.
                Life is pretty good when there is still massive amounts of unused wilderness because you can always just grow into somewhere not already claimed and used.
                Once the space is filled in though then the only place to grow into is soace filled by other people. At that point conquest and violent competition may result in some conqueror unifying enough of south america to impose imperial pressures on the world.
                High birthrates increase the speed they will run out of space and bountiful space to grow food and live a good life.

                SA countries have "distant and strange land" syndrome, if you notice they aren't really so much nation states but huge, Judge Dredd like city states with a few major outposts and then a lot, and I mean A LOT of buffer zones composed of territories so inimical to civilized human life it makes Australia look like a paradise world.

                also, you may not know this, but we Bolivians are very different from most Latams. The only reason we recognized same-sex couples in 2023 is cause the b***h ass corrupt Bolivian government wanted US honey money, and one of the stipulations was trying to allow same-sex marriage (still banned by our constitution by the way).

                Well, LATAM has actually managed to get a decent industrial basis or have been in the process to get it there in the last decades, the main difficulty as some have pointed out is their horrible geography and truth be told the fact they are either descendants of one of the less advanced european countries or brown who literally had to speedrun from the late stone age, despite this you have places such as Brazil which somehow have managed to get Embraer going, and you had things such as the Osorio tank line, Argentina would be there too if it wasn't because they have had this things called "peronism", but there was a time where they had all the elements to develop advanced industry:

                As things stands there are plans for US and, funnily enough, China to start bringing electric car factories within the region, so there may be a chance for an automotive boom within the region which may allow them to start making their own military ground vehicles.

          Well anon, we must be doing something right when all violent deaths considered there are some places of LATAM where we die less than people from some far luckier countries, I am not going to deny we have it worst at a material level, it's obvious people willing to cross the Darien gap and the Sonoran desert by foot* or the florida straits in a raft to be some industry menial at the states weren't having such a great time, but when you factor attitudes towards life through cultural background things aren't that one-sided.

          Maybe being a bit of an optimist moron is actually a positive evolutionary trait?

          Besides, offering the survivors of these walks citizenship in exchange for military service may be a way to fill the gaps in the armed forces, with the sort of individuals which may be needed for the coming war.

      Easy, they invested a lot in brainwashing their population about being "le mestizo" and seething about each other while being smart enough to understand sometimes is better to sell or buy from the Others rather than outright kill them, also all are catholics I guess so technically large scale genocide wars aren't that popular aside from some incidents.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mestizo

      See attached pic, for you that's a white, a swarthy and a brown, however when it comes to national policies they are all colombians, mestizos, spics, hispanics, what have you, and they all are expected to stand their ground against venezuelans, brazilians, panamanians, peruvians, or ecuatorians who may want to frick over Colombia and let's sing the national anthem and shoot and stab them for dearing to step on our sovereign soil, as it was, is and will be until the end of times but you may also try to trade with them something because daddy USA suggested this idea and honestly waging war in fricking South America is HARD and we are in sore need of cash for the next stupid frivolous project or clientelist social program.

      Repeat this pattern all over the continent and you see why SA hasn't collapsed into a complete state of war while still remaining divided.

      I honestly believe this is one of the reasons SA could never be unified, they expelled or killed all the autists needed for "big projects", mediocrity and laziness are appreciated, and most people quickly tire of anyone demanding to make some large infrastructure or empire building, it probably has something to do with the weather, while not as numbly hot as MENA or Subsaharan Africa it's still the sort of region where you are often warranted to get your harvest of potatoes and papayas without fearing winter would wipe you out.

          Half of European countries are smaller than just one province in Argentina. They share the same weather, biome, season, and can be walked to and from in a few hours. Both Americas are entire universes in sizes and different lifestyles and realities. Europe, while having much more history and heritage, are still a blob of indistinct "European" life and politics, they even want to turn the EU into a single military force.

                Yes, Australia is way the frick different from the UK and Canada. Its a country larger and more isolated than most nations in the word, it has a different tradition in economics and government, its separated into states that have a shitload more independence, its got a different demographic breakdown by economic percentiles, jobs, education and it generally exists in a south pacific environment dealing with China and Philippines more than European nations. Australia is an entire subcontinent with a massive desert and a culture of living in far apart, rough places, working in resource extraction fields. Something that hasnt existed in Europe since the medieval era.

                Meanwhile countries like France and Germany are joined at the hip economically, every EU country is built up and developed for centuries with systems and communities that work the same and people work mostly the same jobs with the aake ethics and productivity, every EU country lives in similar dense housing, drives roughly the same distance to work, and is subject to roughly the same laws. The European 'experiment' wouldn't have even taken off if the culture and organization between countries was meaningfully different. You can even see inside the EU itself what actually happens when a country with an actually different culture, such as Greece being a clusterfrick immediately having problems with Germany.

                The only thing Strayas have in common with Brits is that they drink at pubs and suck government wiener. Their characters are totally different, British people take pride in being pseudo hobbits living in their podunk towns and being organized, stoic and simple and act sancrimonious and condescending when upset, Australians are belligerent autists who'll call you a c**t and swing. Brits will bring up and seethe against Americans because they still have an imperial mindset while Australians dont give a shit about anyone but themselves.

The average quechua migrant will name his or her children Wilmer, Euler, Lady, Adderly, Jhon, Jeison, Maickol, Deisy (no typo), Hans, Danny, Maximilian or the assorted spanish names, they wil consoom tiktoks, funkos, cheese burgers and crappy american music as well as european soccer leagues, while they occasionally find good visiting touristic outposts to see the ancestors traditions and what have you they all know for the most part things are stagged and once the show is over everyone goes back to western clothes and shitposting online.

              That just povertyball slum culture, especially the mispelled clown names, they are the Latino equivalent of Lebron, Lashawn, Shaniqua, etc, Its all just a cesspit with no connection to any culture collecting whatever drips down into a bubbling scum bucket of strange and universally low class peoples that forms in the forsaken peripheries of every country's decaying urbes.

                Last time I checked half of them are in the process of buying real estate.

                This is something which often may confuse a lot of western people, the fact you find browns who may have at their own country better incomes once purchasing parity is applied than many supposedly middle class white people, oh sure, they are the minority to the filthy masses struggling to reach month's end at their homeland, but the fact remains, being a rural brownoid doesn't mean you have to remain that way.

                If there is something I despise is people who tell these guys they should stay poor and moron because "that's their rich cultural identity", these are the same people who often pick on the armed forces and defund them and do all sort of stupid campaigns to "ensure abuses don't happen" and then wonder why criminality and public insecurity is on the rise.

          >There are a million historical things differentiating the different European nations, centuries of war, language, culture, achievements. The idea that the difference between a Peruvian and a Mexican is in any way comparable is literally comical.
          History is one of the reasons most Latin American countries differentiate from each other. Argentina and Chile had warred each other so much that the Argentina Military Junta priorized securing the western border over the Falklands invasion.
          Bolivia was a part of Peru, but due to the colombians they separated. Whatever linked them together was lost in subsequent wars. In fact, in 2022 the marxists in Bolivia tried to make a coup against the Peruvian goverment and they even conspired to take some land in the southern border.
          As of the differences between mexicans and peruvians, let's say that most peruvians are fervent catholics with some protestant minorities here and there; while mexicans are seeing a rise on sectary cults like the one that worships Death. Peruvians look down on criminals and organized crime, while mexicans have a sub-culture that glorifies them.

    No, unless they decide to commit genocide against the portion of the population that's holding them down, which seems extremely unlikely for a variety of reasons. What's more likely to happen is the opposite, as more and more countries will turn into shitholes like Brazil, as the population becomes browner and dumber.

    Brazil probably could become one they have a nuclear program and a competent arms industry. They've had their own rocket and MBT programs and have operated aircraft carriers. It's a pretty open secret that Brazil plans to go nuclear if they feel like a large war with a major aggressor from outside of the region happens. What's wild is that the US government is pretty much okay with it.

    Colombia, Peru and Chile are each simply too small even though they are competent. Venezuela is moronic and Argentina probably could have in the past but is now just Venezuela but with slightly better living standards. It's not in South America, but Mexico could probably be one a mid range military power if they actually set that as a goal.

      Lmao Brazil builds French designed submarines with the help of France, and can't design their sub reactor for shit thus need even more help from France.

    Equador could build a space gun surprisingly cheaply and put it on Mount Chimborazo. They could leverage their newfound status as a spaceport into gaining orbital dominance, and then turn the economic advantages that provides into tax revenue, and then spend that on an expanded military.

    >Could a south American country become a military super power?

    by way of the seas it could be, but as a military land power, i don't think so

    think more about how Portugal and the Netherlands had a vast colonial empire because of their navy, not because of land power

      A naval option would be somewhat a more rational thing as basically all the most economically advanced countries of the region have a coastal line and of late have developed a tradition of working in coordination with US and other sea-based powers to the point the region is basically surrounded by a western sea.

      I suspect now Japan is going to get through a rearmament process it would be a chance for both them and countries in LATAM to ensure some production deals when it comes to new ships.

    It may happen once they overpopulate and no longer enjoy vast space to expand into.
    Life is pretty good when there is still massive amounts of unused wilderness because you can always just grow into somewhere not already claimed and used.
    Once the space is filled in though then the only place to grow into is soace filled by other people. At that point conquest and violent competition may result in some conqueror unifying enough of south america to impose imperial pressures on the world.
    High birthrates increase the speed they will run out of space and bountiful space to grow food and live a good life.

    LATAM is actually quite a good place to get PMCs at a budget, among other things due experiences in COIN and urban operations, since they more often than not have no one but themselves to fight (no western air support, no massive soviet stockpike) they are trained as highly mobile SpecOps forces. a fun fact is they are often do military exercises with US:

    Yes. As surprising as it sounds, Mexico and Brazil are both major industrial powers. Both of them and Argentina have the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons too. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru have generally competent personnel despite also having a lot of reservist fillers. If Brazil or Mexico actually needed to turn their economies and manpower towards war industries and a militarized society they could probably become within the top 6 over a few years.

      They also have some of the fastest growing human development indexes within the regions without any of the usual hacks as massive populations or oil, in fact, it's a better way to ensure development as they don't end suffering of the usual problems which come with becoming over reliant on these things.

    Not in any reasonable time and the popular idea of "superpower" is never strictly military, it's diplomatic, economic and GLOBAL.

    SA can have large expensive toys but its cultures are not modern. Fortunately no strategic reason exists to pursue military growth vs. economic growth, but proud primitives want the image so the market will be lucrative.

    Since this is the best thread to ask this, didn't Brazil have a booming (or promising to say the least) arms industry?
    Read something of it in a zine and I was curious if it was true or not
    Like one claim of a Brazilian tank almost being adopted over an American one for Saudi Arabia I believe
    I'd have to go check for the specific details but I digress

      The T2 version of the Brazilian Osorio was indeed selected over the Abrams. It wasn't better in all ways but it was a much better rounded vehicle. Chiefly because it mounted a turret designed with help from Vickers which had arguably the best FCS system at the time. This turret tech later went on to the Challenger 2. It had a small but very well armored hull and an absolutely fantastic local modification of a German engine. Armor was absolutely stellar and they very likely had some behind the scenes help from the British developing it. I personally think the British had a big bet on it so helped a lot because they knew their armor industry was going to go to shit since the Vickers MK7 was shitcanned for using a Leopard hull so the Osorio was their next best bet to have a mass produced tank. The Osorio failed largely because the US gave the Saudis a great deal on Arbams and the Saudis were also pissed that the Brazilians were selling MLRS systems to Iraq so cancelled the tender. There are claims from non official sources that Brazilians are considering using the Osorio hull design coupled to a new turret but there is no hard evidence for this. If so it'd likely be a Turkish MZK turret, Italian HITFACT MK-II, Swedish CV90120T turret or some unknown design using Japanese and British tech though that one is just a theorhetical.
