Did United States involvement in Argentina, Cuba, and Chile…

The United States involvement in Argentina was complicated. With the cold war approaching the United States looked at Argentina as a nation that could be contained and used against anti-communism. Dictatorship in Argentina made the country vulnerable for takeover. Economically, the united states wanted to make Argentina open to the global market.

The humanitarian issues that seemed to be happening in Argentina and the United States used this as a way to help grow their status across Latin America.

The Cold War reshaped the way political development was across Latin America, the United States wanted to contain communism and expand its strategic influence. Argentina and Cuba experienced U.S. involvement in very different ways, with very different outcomes. The U.S. approach in Argentina was more about authoritarianism and shaping economic policy, its involvement in Cuba created a revolutionary backlash and created longterm hostility. Comparing these two states shows how Cold War priorities directed U.S. foreign policy and how local conditions shaped its ultimate impact. I will look at why the US entered the Cold war and its goal of preventing the spread of communism. Argentina and Cuba were opposites, and I will compare that in my essay.
