During colonial times, European powers established political boundaries in Meso and South America through colonization and conquest. These boundaries were often drawn without consideration for the indigenous populations and their territories. In contemporary times, many of these boundaries have changed due to revolutions, wars, and treaties that have reshaped the political landscape of the region. Additionally, as many countries gained independence from European rule, new nations were formed with their own boundaries and governments. These changes reflect the shifting power dynamics and cultural identities in the region over time.
