Now we look at the US growing era and its relationship to Latin America. The US wanted the umbilical cord severed once and for all with Europe. To the South, there were colonies that were colonized in a different manner. The guys came to Latin America came there to get rich quick and return to become a member of aristocracy. Those who came to the US came to stay there. Land was donated to aristocrats in Latin America for them to impose the same system they had in Europe and they could basically what they want provided they paid tribute to the colonial masters. The US did not like that. It saw it as threat, thus the Monroe Doctrine. They were afraid that Latin America would be a way for Europe to attack them. They pushed the Spanish back as far down South the border as they could to have a comfortable distance from them. They sought to have friendly governments who they could trust and paid for good behavior. I give you an example. Do you know that nouveaux riche mistreats people like stewardesses, hotel and restaurant staff? You know why? It is because these professions remember where they came from just a while ago. The up and coming Americans looked South and it remembered where they came from and they did not like that. History weights heavily. Latin Americans -intellectuals and government- to this day do not trust the US and harbor resentment to US past governments because they had too cozy relationships with dictators. And the US harbors resentment against the Latin Americans. The situation will change as Latins newer generations will only know the last century from history books.
