Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page discussion of the historic interaction the U.S. has had with Latin American countries. Since the advent of the New Diplomacy at the end of the nineteenth century, in fact, the U.S. role in Latin America has grown progressively stronger. The relationship which resulted was not always amiable as we might expect from our U.S. perspective. Indeed, at times this relationship was quite tenuous. In most respects, however, this interaction has resulted in far more positive impacts to Latin America than it has negative impacts. Bibliography lists 1 source.
