Bully from the North: A Brief Overview of US Foreign Policy in Latin America

In this very short book, readers will find causes and effects of U.S. foreign policy relations with Latin American countries from the early 19th century to the later half of the 20th century. Both the U.S. and Latin America are destined to be neighbors by geography and have many historical commonalities, including origin of colonization by European powers (Spanish and Portuguese settlers in the Latin American countries, and British settlers in the U.S.). However, over the course of time, the U.S. and Latin America took very different paths. The U.S. developing from the 19th century to the 20th century emerged as a hegemon; at least in the Western hemisphere, due to its economic success. In the early 19th century, the U.S. intervened only in the nearby Latin American countriesâ€”but as its power grew, the U.S. spread its tentacles to the extremes of Latin America as far as Chile during the second half of the 20th century.
I have presented here just a few of the most important interventions that shaped the relations between them, and showed what forces have shaped the U.S. foreign policy towards Latin American countries in those particular interventions. I have analyzed and explained the international forces, national forcesâ€”and even in some interventions, individual forces.
