Background Knowledge 🌎
- 🇺🇸 The US and its Cold War efforts to contain communism were at their peak.
- 🌎 Latin American countries were keen on economic development, and they weren’t getting enough support from the US. Remember those times when you hoped for extra pocket money but got none? Kind of like that!
US's Request to OAS 🚀
- 🇺🇸 USA asks the Organization of American States (OAS) to join them in the Korean War against North Korea.
- Outcome: Only 🇨🇴 Colombia says, “Count us in!”
💡Fun Fact: Think of this like when you try to rally friends for a project. Not everyone's in, but there's always that one friend who's super enthusiastic!
Why didn't Latin America hop on the US bandwagon? 🤔
- Truman's administration didn't see Latin America under direct communist threat, hence didn't provide military aid in 1946 & 1947.
- It's like when your friend doesn't invite you for a party but later asks you for a favor. 🎈
- This move soured inter-American relations.
🇨🇴 Why did Colombia join the war?
- 🤝 They hoped to foster a close relationship with the US for political and economic gains.
- 🏋️♂️ A golden chance to train their armed forces with the US’s aid.
- 🛡 President Laureano Gómez had faced backlash for cutting defense budgets. Joining the war seemed like a good PR move.
- 📰 A distraction technique: Keep the public’s eyes on the war, not on home-grown issues.
💡 Imagine if your school football team was doing poorly. A surprise international match could boost morale and distract from recent losses.
