      Yes, that might be true.

      In addition, the United States has been an anti-democratic force across almost all of Latin America for over a century. MANY Latin American countries have suffered through violent dictatorships that were supported by the US, all in the name of capitalist interests.

      Name any Latin American country, and there’s a good chance it has been interfered with by the US.

        ‘interfered’ is missing a lot of the cruelty and destruction that’s taken place.

          I definitely don’t disagree, but I tried to find a word that would apply to all of Latin America because in some cases there was actual violence committed by US citizens, while in others it was diplomatic pressure or simply a lack of action. Feel free to offer better words because I’m always open to learning more.
