Article shall be extended with stuff related to why pan-americanism didn't success, for example, due to north american militar interventions. So I encourage you to take a look spanish article for further information.Soronto 21:53, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

You should also include the latin-american nationalist movement that came post the war of Chinchas Islands. And the subsequent joint Chilean-Peruvian development of the Latin American navy/defense force concept. Anon 12:51, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

This article is not neutral. Their is an detectable anti-United States tone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.21.92 (talk) 01:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hispanic nationalism?

Why does Hispanic nationalism redirect to this page? I mean, come on, who seriously thinks those two ideas are the same?--Murphy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.58.20 (talk) 05:42, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. I just removed that redirect. SamEV (talk) 06:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
It was restored. I nominated it for deletion and invite all who are interested to please comment at its RfD entry. Thanks. SamEV (talk) 20:30, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Re-redirected it to Latin nationalism--Tomtom9041 (talk) 16:08, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why do people still insists to include U.S. 'greatness' everywhere?

What does this article states that U.S. were "looked as a model" by early Sout American panamericanistas? That would be absurd and stupid because at that time United states have not formed a union. How could South American panamericanistas based their dream on unexistent United States of America? U.S. were just being born. In the early 1800's U.S. were expanding on the west fighting true americans. As Indians wars had just began some years before, it could not be possible for actual United States to exist at a time when territories as Oregon, Texas, Alaska, California, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida had not been acquired. What South American panamericanist did take model from was U.S. spirit of liberation from colonial Britain... yes, that inspired them. Don't be confused. As the information in this article needed to be verified, I edited the article. I think Wikipedia does not need comentaries like the one above which I object, it needs facts instead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.72.98.97 (talk) 20:49, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

That's only because the US was way behind the power curve in fighting "true americans", such as the Spanish annihilation of the Arawaks and the Mayans at the hands of the conquistadors, and their continuing suppression of non-latin pre-columbian cultures. Is that what you mean? The US states may be guilty of suppressing the native american cultures, but they were obviously the Johnny-come-latelies. Lets talk about the real reason that African slaves were brought to this hemisphere...and by whom.--Tomtom9041 (talk) 04:19, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

By the Spaniards no less. And we can include the Incas and probably lots more while we are at it.--71.185.193.245 (talk) 02:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

We can also include the Bandeirantes who took part in the Bandeiras, exploration expeditionsand the expandsion of Portuguese America. --209.213.220.227 (talk) 13:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
