Quick Recap 🔥
- After WWII, USA was the economic and political powerhouse.
- Soviet expansionism = a big "No No" for USA.
- Europe was a bigger concern than Latin America for the US.
Things took a twist 🎉
- Latin America thought, “Hey, now that the war is over, USA will help us grow economically.” But surprise! USA was like, “We've got bigger fish to fry in Europe.”
- President Truman didn't see communism spreading in Latin America. Why?
- 🌍 Distance and Tech: USSR was too far, and they didn’t have the military tech to reach Latin America.
- ⛪ The Power of Faith: The Catholic Church didn’t vibe with Marxism. So, communism wasn't that hip in Latin American politics.
- 🎙️ Pop Star Leaders: Leaders like Perón in Argentina gave people what they wanted, which decreased the charm of communism.
- 💂 Military Control: They played the big brother role and said “No Entry” to communist activities.
CIA Gets Involved 🕵️
- They dropped a hot doc in April 1947 titled, ‘Soviet Objectives in Latin America’.
- In simpler terms: "Here’s how we think the USSR might try to mess with Latin America."
