The United States only got openly involved with two countries in Latin America, Nicaragua and Cuba. There are other countries that the United States got involved with, but that comes later. :) In Cuba, the United States was trying to prevent the Soviets from storing nuclear missiles on missile platforms in Cuba (only 100 miles away from Florida). Having missiles in Cuba was undesirable, because the Soviets could launch missiles to hit any city in the United States. In Nicaragua, the United States acted under the Truman Doctrine to repress the Soviet-backed Sandinista; who were fighting the Somoza family over the assassination of Augusto Cesar Sandino. We backed the Somoza family, led by Anastasio Somoza Garcia, a dictator.
It's important to remember that in this period of American foreign policy, we would support ANY and ALL countries trying to resist Communism, this extended to dictators that claimed to be Anticommunists to secure American support; supporting these dictators would soil our reputation and create the image of evil Americans in countries that we claim to have supported.
Going back to the Latin American issue, the Sandinists were victorious after Jimmy Carter stopped supporting the Somoza family in 1978-9. Even after they started creating an independent government, we chose to prevent them from creating the government they had fought 43 years to create. In addition, we refused to help rebuild Nicaragua and we left the Somoza family's debt of 1.6 billion with the Sandinists.
After all of that, the United States supported the anti-Sandinist regime, the Contras. The Contras were a group of anti-communist paramilitary partisans, whose desire was to overthrow the Sandinists and re-establish a Dictatorship similar to the Somoza's. This Contra organization was strong in countries like Nicaragua (obviously), Honduras, and Belize.
First thought is Cuba. Under Castro, Gueverra and others who wanted a socialist or communist political system.

Latin America.
During the cold war the American isolationism really extended from the Soviet Union to Latin America. This trend has since changed.
Four republics peacefully gained independence
The occupation and resources of some countries by the Soviet Union contributed to the development of the Cold War. This is because they did not know what weapons the countries were making.
7 countries
That was the common belief during the Cold War (1945 - 1991).
During the Cold War there were many Latin American countries soliciting intervention from the United States. Some of these countries were Guatemala, Brazil, Chile, and Nicaragua.
The Cold War heightened tensions in Latin America as the US and Soviet Union sought to expand their spheres of influence. This led to political instability, military coups, and civil wars in several countries in the region as they became battlegrounds for ideological conflicts. The US supported anti-communist regimes, leading to human rights abuses and social unrest in many Latin American countries.

Two reasons:Economic interests, such as safeguarding continuous production and transport of raw materials from Latin America into the continental US. These include oil, copper or fruits.Ideological reasons, such as the Cold War.
The Cold War affected Latin America very differently than Asia or Africa. Latin America felt a time of oppression and fear. Asia was a target of consumption to communism, the communists wanted to encompass Asia to gain momentum. Africa was a place where the USSR wanted to gain people. In turn Africa got military and supply support.

The Cold War had a significant impact on Latin America, as the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in proxy wars and supported opposing factions in the region. This led to political instability, increased militarization, and human rights abuses in many Latin American countries. Additionally, U.S. interventions in the region during this time often prioritized anti-communist agendas over democracy and human rights.
COLD FRONT- the boundary between a warm air mass and a cold air mass,in which the warm air is forced to rise,condenses and produce rain. This mass of cold rain affect many Caribbean countries....mostly in the northern region. They really affect the southern end countries such as Trinidad and Tobago. If however it affects these countries the intensity will not be as great since as it passes over the warm water it will cool down and the air will just be very damp/wet.
