Sažetak
In this paper, the relation between Europe and Latin America is analysed from the beginning of the 19th century until today. We can distinguish few characteristic periods in the development of these relations; first, the period of colonisation; second, the period of gaining independence of the Latin-American states; third, the period between two wars; the fourth period after the World War II; and fifth, the period after the "cold war". In every mentioned period political and economic relations of Europe towards Latin America are being examined. The author especially analyses the period of the second half of the 20th century in which the policy of EC, later EU towards Latin America is observed in the triangle Europe-Latin America-USA. Despite the fact that the Europeans discovered and colonised Latin America, USA became dominant in political and economic processes in that part of the world in the second half of the 20th century.
