The idea of fighting for total independence was a prevalent theme in Mexico's revolution and independence movements. For example, Mexico was bullied through the fight to settle land borders with the United States, as well as the fight to ensure independence from France. Also, the United States' economic and political involvement in Latin American countries caused them to become dependant on their powerful neighbor. For instance, when the U.S. fought off Spanish soldiers and took control of the Cuban economy, the Cubans were never truly given total independence. Also, the U.S.'s construction of the Panama Canal allowed for them to further expand its influence over Latin America, and investment in many Central and South American countries strengthened their foothold. Many Latin Americans disapproved of the U.S.'s intervention, but they had no power over their superior neighbor.
