First evidences of human existence on South American territory are dated by 9000 years BC. Agriculture and fishing became two main practices that gained people in communities. XVI century was the beginning of Spanish and Portuguese colonization. Europeans brought inextirpable diseases with them and the number of indigenous people began its rapid decrease – so they were replaced with African slaves that had already developed immunity to those diseases. Interbreeding of local population with European settlers formed new mestizo class. South America received its independence from Portugal and Spain in XIX century; however cruel interstate wars and revolutions took place during the XX century.
