Latin peoples include Roman, Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. This is a general grouping, which tends to disguise important national differences.

Italic peoples

These chiefly include the people of Italy, including the old Roman empire, medieval and early modern Italy, the modern nation of Italy, and any Italian colonies.

French peoples

This chiefly includes the people of France, but reference is also made to French colonies in the Americas and elsewhere, and french-speaking peoples in neighboring countries of Europe.

Hispanic peoples

This grouping includes not only the European people of Spain, but the Hispanic Mexican American, Hispanic Colombian American, Hispanic Peruvian American, and Hispanic Argentine American peoples of Latin America.

Lusitanic peoples

This grouping includes not only the European people of Portugal, but the Portuguese speaking people of Brazil in Latin America.


History This page includes information on the development of those countries of Western Europe which are derived from the Latin speaking peoples of the Roman Empire. They have roots in prehistory and antiquity, but these can only be examined using methods of archaeology. Most of their development has come during the classical and medieval period with the Roman empire, and the later development of Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal. In modern times, the Spanish and Portuguese established colonies in North America and South America which grew and came to dominate their regions and impose principally Anglic culture. They also established world-spanning empires with holdings in Africa and Southeast Asia, which were less thoroughly Latinized. Other, smaller Latin nations have yet to be included in this review.
Other Sociology Other peoples of the world, communities, and social structure and change are vitally important to the examination of Italic peoples, French peoples, Hispanic peoples, and Lusitanic peoples Institutions Institutions can be applied to Italic peoples, French peoples, Hispanic peoples, and Lusitanic peoples. Religion can be applied to Italic peoples, French peoples, Hispanic peoples, and Lusitanic peoples. Religious tradition can be applied to Italic peoples, French peoples, Hispanic peoples, and Lusitanic peoples. Abrahamic religion is important among French poples, Hispanic poples, and Lusitanic peoples. Christianity predominates among Latin peoples. These peoples are mostly Catholic, with minorities of Protestant, Orthodox, and Mormon beliefs, and a little Judaism, and Islam. Secularism is also widespread, with mixtures and remnants of pagan and asiatic beliefs. Organization is mostly highly structured, with limited fragmented, and unstructured organization. Religious practice and belief are significant. Government Government can be applied to Hispanic and Lusitanic peoples, so far. Particular governments including national government and local government will be useful. International government including traditional empires, colonial empires, and modern compacts is being connected. Government activities including state relations, administration, and succession can be connected. There is some information on government structure and law. Economics with Industries, activities, systems, and companies are all important. There will also be information on education including teaching, research, cultural institutions, educational organization, and particular schools. Particular schools including higher education, secondary education, and primary education will be significant Families, including marriage, parent-child relations, kinship, and particular families will be connected. Culture Elements of behavioral culture such as customs, occupations, prforming arts, games, sports, and cultural events are also significant. Conceptual culture, including language, graphic arts, literature, mathematics, and applied science will be important. Philosophy including philosophical schools and doctrines, special topics, aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, and logic can be connected. Material aspects including food, clothing, buildings, transportation, communication, industrial technology, and other artifacts have some connection. Anthropology Particular groups will also be useful. Human geography of latin peoples is associated principally with Europe, South America, North America, Africa, and Asia in about that order. Human ecology including the environment, other life forms, and human impact is also important. Physical anthropology including human origns, racial variation, and human dispersion will also be useful. Demography including births, deaths, migration, population size and structure, and population change will be very useful in examining these peoples. Social foundations including social presentation, interaction, social control, social group behavior, and social group types are at a fairly low level of applicability. Personal studies The human body is mostly indirectly significant. Human body systems, body function, life cycle, disease, and form and appearance will be useful. Psychology including behavioral elements, mind, behavior patterns, developmental psychology, mental disorders, personality, and social psychology seems to be indirectly significant. Biography will be more so, but only has a few entries so far: Columbus Pasteur Galileo Augustus Lavoisier Constantine Augustine Aquinas Napoleon Marconi Daguerre Bolivar Descartes Michelangelo Urban II Augustine Calvin Pizarro Cortez Caesar Isabella I Voltaire Fermi Rousseau Machiavelli da Gama Charlemagne Justinian I Aquinas Archimedes Curie Magellan da Vinci Science Physics and chemistry are less directly connected than astronomy. Earth science including geology, hydrospheric science, atmospheric science, physical geography, and geohistory can be connnected. Biology including molecular biology, cell biology, organism biology, systematics, ecology, and biohistory can be connected.
