Dear formidable readers:
As I promised you last Friday, here we are dispatching the summary and conclusions of Season II.

Conclusions of Season II. Central America: A Quest for the Progression of Economic Value. Period of study: From 1516 to 1700: Habsburg Spanish America Foundation with a Medieval Allure. The Possible Concealed Identity of Charles V. The Life of the Spanish Habsburg Kings of the 17th century: Philip II, Philip III, Philip IV, and Charles II.

The main conclusion of these 14 episodes is a mystery. Something beyond our current understanding happened during the 17th century. The kings of Spain after Philip II were not at the same level of mental discernment and achievement in the New World as what Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, created for the Spanish Habsburgs in America. Philip II did what his father wrote to him to do. Charles V HRE could have shifted his identity (or not) with the conqueror Hernán Cortés. We can´t corroborate it. We have investigated all the possibilities (3 of them) using our knowledge and following our research instincts. But something that is beyond our imagination occurred after the conquest of the Aztecs. And that mystery is what we have tried to decode.

After Season II, our contribution to the history of corporate strategy and the history of the political economy of the Kingdom of Guatemala is connected to the importance of assessing all the true core situations and edges of this region in relation to the European monarchical history. We can´t sustain an European historical economic path for Europe without considering Spanish America or Asia. The same happens with Central America. Every single move in any of the regions of America was tangled with the Empires of Europe. Moreover, if we confirm that a branch of a composite monarchy, such as the Spanish Habsburg descendants of Charles V, moved their residence to the Kingdom of Guatemala after Charles V´s death, that piece of information is as relevant as a pure diamond of the most elevated quality. Can you believe that we have been living an historical lie for more than 500 years?
The option of keeping Central America under a feudal medieval allure society between 1524 and 1700 was not casual. It was because the royal rulers of this area (concealed under other identities) decided to keep it as such. For whatever reason. The justification doesn´t matter in the present, but it counted then. The past is past. If our investigation has a certain degree of truth, at least give us the benefit of the doubt. Something of relevant proportions ensued with and after Charles V HRE that we do not know, and our incipient economic systems can´t be supported with a lie for so long.

Here, the transition from feudalism to mercantilism didn´t occur as in Europe; certain phases of development have not started yet here, particularly those related to integral education of high standards, or how to organically defeat inequality. Central America requires its own economic development based on the stage of evolution and the needs that have not been resolved for centuries. Additionally, despite the techies’ critiques, our region has been blessed with its under-development in comparison to the rest of the world. By European or American standards, we were left behind, but we had not experienced world wars or the holocaust. Europe has gone through super horrendous things that we have not experienced yet. We pray that we would never live such human tragedies. The nature of our troubles is different. Our racial syncretism (although there is still certain racism at certain levels of our societies) has muffled innumerable risks. Many times, it is not accurate to embrace the pioneer syndrome, particularly with the Artificial Intelligence mistakes for humanity. Before moving forward, Central America needs to go back in time to where the falsehood of our history began, and from there, start again to review the things, one by one, with the truth. Only the truth will make us free.

In the context of the end of the 17th century, when the Bourbons began to dance with their economic reforms, another schism of violent proportions awaited the European world and Spanish America: The French Revolution and its aftermath of Independence movements. There is not one aspect of economic history in America (as a whole, North-Central and South America) that is not connected with the imperial decision-making of the European powers.

Announcement.
Please take notice of the calendar of the next episodes. We are working non-stop to finish all before May 1st. Our next episode is about the summary and conclusions of Season III. It is super important to accomplish these summaries. Our work has lasted more than 18 months, and we need to review everything in detail.
The next saga: Coffee-Cacao Strategy 101 for Family Farm small-holders will begin on May 22nd.
