(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of History

During the Cold War, the relations between the United States and the countries of Latin America were marked by a complex web of political, economic, and cultural influences. The U.S. foreign policy, known as the 'Monroe Doctrine,' expressed the intention that 'the Americas are no longer to be considered as a field for future colonies of any European power.' This perspective decisively influenced the relationship between North America and Latin America for decades. Considering the historical context and the cultural and economic elements involved, answer: (1) How did the Cold War alter the landscape of relations between the U.S. and the countries of Latin America, resulting in the implementation of policies such as the 'Big Stick' and 'Dollar Diplomacy' in different countries? (2) Analyze, using the concept of 'Imperialism,' how the influence of the United States in Latin America can be considered an example of imperialist practice, and discuss the consequences of this phenomenon on the autonomy and sovereignty of Latin American countries.
