The U.S. has a long history of meddling in Latin American politics. This isn't a new trend. It has been going on for over 50 years.

Countries Involved

The U.S. has been involved in many countries, including:

  • Cuba
  • Haiti
  • Nicaragua
  • Grenada

They even backed dictators like Augusto Pinochet in Chile.

Why Did the U.S. Do This?

It was all about business. The U.S. wanted to:

  • Protect profits for American companies.
  • Increase profits for American companies.

The U.S. claimed to be bringing democracy and reform. But in reality, it was just bullying other countries. Capitalism, not idealism, drove these actions.

The U.S. Invasion of Venezuela

The U.S. invasion of Venezuela fits this pattern. It's just another chapter in this shameful history. The U.S. has been the bad guy in Latin America for a long time. This is a fact that needs to be acknowledged.

What Needs to Change?

The U.S. needs to:

  • Take a hard look at its actions.
  • Stop denying the truth.
  • Acknowledge its role as a bully in Latin America.
  • Focus on fair trade and diplomacy.
  • Stop using force to get what it wants.
