we had tons of gold before the spanish came but we still have gold so how come we dont have the same power as usa??? peru could be the most powerful country in the world it has everything a rich country needs but why arent we as powerful as usa??
Hi there - you might have more luck getting an answer to this question on another subreddit, like /r/AskSocialScience. The historians here could likely tell you how Peru's history has differed from that of the U.S.A., but there might be sociologists or economists on /r/AskSocialScience who might have a good sense of the social and economic factors that cause a state to obtain and keep power and riches.
it has everything a rich country need
What is that exactly?
