Thank you for your thoughtful and informative response. As an American, I don't think of Spain and England as dissimilar powers, and if I am not mistaken, the countries were colonized at roughly the same time. Did Nigeria have a few good decades at the same time Venezuela did? I don't think @samminator has brought us up to date yet. I wonder though if the same power hasn't been at work, with different faces, on both continents.
