Limited democracy in the independent nations of Latin America was primarily constrained by a combination of factors, including political instability, social inequality, and the influence of caudillos—military strongmen who often seized power through force. Additionally, economic dependence on foreign powers and colonial legacies hindered the establishment of stable democratic institutions. Widespread corruption and lack of political education among the populace further undermined democratic processes, leading to cycles of authoritarianism and limited political participation.
In his March speech supporting U.S. expansion, Senator Albert Beveridge argued that America had a duty to civilize and uplift "lesser" nations, which he believed justified the control and rule over foreign territories. He claimed that American ideals of democracy and progress were superior and that it was America's destiny to spread these values globally. Beveridge framed this expansion as a moral obligation, suggesting that the U.S. was chosen to lead and elevate other nations.
In 1930, there were relatively few democratic countries compared to today. The concept of democracy was primarily limited to Western nations, with notable examples including the United States, the United Kingdom, and several countries in Western Europe. Overall, the number of countries considered fully democratic was around 10 to 15, as many nations were under authoritarian rule or colonial governance at that time.
Rogue nations are the most dangerous of nations that oppose the role of the United States as a superpower and that reject democracy and capitalism. They ignore some of the most fundamental principles of international relations.
Where America is in the next 20 years depends on the economy, environment, natural disasters, politics, and the stability of other nations.

Empirically speaking, the United Nations is not a democracy. A democracy must have two components: Demos (referring to a large sampling of people) and Kratos (referring to an authority or rulership) Since the United Nations has no effective sovereignty (kratos), it cannot be a democracy, but merely a group of people who talk and vote on issues. Hungary holds to this opinion.
