"Before Nicolás Maduro and Hugo Chávez, there was #CiprianoCastro. Before Donald Trump, there was Theodore Roosevelt. And before petroleum, there was asphalt pitch. The following excerpt from #AmericaAmérica: A New History of the New World is a timely reminder that behind today’s headlines announcing any given crisis in #LatinAmerica often stands a long history of imperial outrages."

ENG: This video illustrates US military interventions in Latin America marked by coups, dictatorships, and wars that benefited US Corporate economic and geopolitical interests at the cost of millions of lives.
From Guatemala in 1954, where the CIA overthrew an elected president to protect the multinational United Fruit Company, to the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, the pattern repeats itself: popular or reformist governments replaced by military dictatorships backed by Washington to secure foreign investment and control of resources.
In Central America, support for the Contras in Nicaragua and the Salvadoran army—including death squads—prolonged wars that left tens of thousands dead and missing. In the Southern Hemisphere, support for authoritarian regimes and the coordination of Plan Condor institutionalized torture and political assassination on a continental scale.
These are just a few examples. For decades, the United States acted as if Latin America were its backyard, building its economic hegemony on the exploitation of citizens and leaving behind a history of violence, chaos, and suffering that still marks the region today.
