What actions did the United States take to achieve it's goals in Latin America during the 1900's?
1.Panama Canal Panama was owned by Colombia at that time. While Theodore Roosevelt tried to negotiate land with the Colombian government to build a canal, he came to believe that they were asking too much. So, he sent a US naval ship to the area. Rebelling Panamanians looked to that as a source of backing, and they succeeded in revolting. They then negotiated quickly with the US. 2. Roosevelt Corollary This stated that no foreign nation could intervene in South America. (Some SA nations owed money, and some European nation wanted to use force to get it back.) The US maintained influence.
Does the US government hate Latin America?
US is not one person. I am sure some people in US hate Latin America but some don't. If you mean US foreign policy being hostile in Latin America. That is a different story. Unfortunately in the US it is legal to bribe politicians, it is called campaign contribution. American Companies that operate in Latin America spend millions of dollars to control the US foreign policy in Latin America. Most of the time these policies are not in the best interest of American public, but companies don't care. They are in the business if making money. If Latin American countries want a better US foreign policy, then they have to start spending money in Washington DC to "lobby" the congress. Our foreign policy works with an auction system, whoever spends the most money controls it.
What was Napoleon trying to achieve; what were his goals?
Most of what we hear or read about Napoleon is British view or the view of the victor.At the time of French Revolution Europe was ruled by Monarchs.These Monarchs rule came through Hereditary. It was assumed that through blood these being was superior to common folk. God has ordained them to be kings and queens. Churches assisted by teaching its followers about this. And Royalty paid back to Church by giving them vast lands and tax less income and no interference by King in religious affairs. Church and Monarchy were hand in glove in looting/enslaving common masses.Purity of blood is maintained by marriage within each other.So almost all royals marry amongst each other and hence they were related to each other. Some were first cousin or second cousin etc.French Revolution was bloody. Almost all royals were killed or have to fled France.Property of Catholic Church was taken over by Revolutionary government.Oppressed public was free. Life of a common man was better. He has a hope under new system. He can chose his ruler.Revolutionaries of other countries now can see toward France for inspiration. Freedom struggles were already going on in other European nations, now they got new vigour.So all European Monarchs wanted to punish France for this. They wanted to make it an example for all revolutionaries.They can't let it succeed at any cost. So they helped royalists to mount an attack on France. So France was attacked by combined armies of all Europe, it was besieged by British Royal Navy. It's commerce was effectively blocked. It's ports were pounded by Naval ships of opposing Nations. It's overseas colonies were overtaken by an alliance of anti revolutionary nations.It's a do or die situation for France. It's either Bourbon King or war with entire Europe.So Napoleon had no choice at the start of his career. He crushed the civil war in various parts of France. Pushed out the enemy out of France.Given this background I don't think there could be any peace between warring parties except a lull for preparing for next war. Or gathering another army.How many coalition armies he fought?And at last he was counquered and Bourbons were restored as rightful owners of France.It was a war between two ideologies, they cannot come to terms, it was impossible.Had Napoleon been a royal it would be different He could have reliable alliance. He was a disruption to the established order.For your answer :-He was trying to save French and his own Freedom.Viva la revolution..
