Generalize the ways that the U.S. entered the political and economic affairs of Latin America.
American political and economic interest in Latin America grew after the Civil War.
The Spanish-American War of 1898 brought the United States directly into Latin American affairs.
American investment in Cuba predated the war, and following it the door was open for direct involvement in the Caribbean.
Cuba became an American economic dependent and Puerto Rico was annexed.
When Colombia was reluctant to meet American proposals for building the Panama Canal, the United States backed a revolution in Panama and gained exclusive rights over the canal.
As a consequence, Latin Americans became very suspicious of the expansionist United States.
