The imperial strategy has always been notable for the weakening and dissolution of any attempt the peoples have made to determine their own destiny. The ancient and recent history confirms it. There is no possible domination if the processes of sovereignty and independence are not undermined. This is the reason why the empire fears the South American progress towards unity.
