The last empire to have "bossed them around" was Spain.

!?!!!
My history classes on the XIX and XX centuries were way different. Either historiography has changed since, or you're missing the big picture here.

I have a different definition of "empire" and "bossing around" from the one given in Brazilian schools, I guess Smiley)

British banking and commercial practices left Argentina a de facto dependent with severely compromised sovereignty in the 19th century, and one could argue the same applies for the IMF in the 20th.

And one could argue both to be baloney.

Sure. And be heavily hackish.
