dictators governed latin american nations after independence
During the 1940s, the questionable intervention into the affairs of Latin American countries greatly increased anti-American sentiments. The countries affected were Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
Latin American nations have tried to achieve economic independence by controlling their means of production. Oil producing Latin American nations have nationalized oil companies.
The U.S. foreign policy known as the "Monroe Doctrine," articulated in 1823, called for non-European intervention in the Americas and asserted that any European attempts to colonize or interfere in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as acts of aggression. This doctrine aimed to protect newly independent Latin American nations and establish the U.S. as a dominant power in the region. Over time, it evolved to justify American intervention in various Latin American countries under the guise of maintaining stability and democracy.
U.S. intervention in Latin American economies
The statement intended to protect newly independent nations in Latin America was known as the Monroe Doctrine. This policy was articulated by President James Monroe in 1823, warning European powers against further colonization or intervention in the Americas.
Franklin D. Roosevelt shifted U.S. policy towards Latin America through his "Good Neighbor" policy, emphasizing mutual respect and non-intervention. This approach aimed to improve diplomatic relations, reduce military intervention, and foster economic cooperation. By promoting trade and cultural exchanges, Roosevelt sought to build stronger ties with Latin American nations, which he believed were essential for regional stability and U.S. security. This marked a significant departure from earlier interventionist policies.
