Abstract
These variables have allowed to see the panorama of the development of the region from its economic and social dimensions. After an analytical review of the evolution of the proposed variables, it is concluded that the region goes through two periods of growth: the first, from 1830s to 1860s, with slow growth, characterized by regional conflicts and constant external debt defaults; the second, from 1870s to 1900, characterized by an accelerated growth of the Gross Domestic Product, exports and investments, an increase in literacy levels and life expectancy. The economic growth of the region caused banking systems to multiply, as well as educational and health institutions, which favored population growth.
