no

no

why not. The US even protected Latin America during the cold war and prevented the communist from taking over and making their lives miserable.

If you are not memeing then you are truly an imbecile.

Latin America would've been better off if the independence movements weren't so uncoordinated and the relations to Europe weren't cut off in such a way back then

independence or death
it worked for the US

because the US' intentions were not pure

Nice job defending Argentina back then.

but now it's just under american imperialism instead lol
and our imperialism was better btw we gave them christianity and civilization, what did you give them, obesity and television

The USA haven't protected anyone but themselves, and this at any cost.

>get invaded three times by european powers
>get invaded three times by you
>support one coup during our revolution
>elect some president who ran with pure anti-mexian rhetoric

>America protecting us from European imperialism

plus, in case you're really curious, the relations were cut off because you were all busy with three world wars (i'm including the Napoleonic ones because battles were fought in the far colonies too)
after getting poor as fuck due to those wars, the US and the Soviet Union used all their cash on you. we're the ones that were left behind

It also worked in Africa
Doesn't mean the countries are better off now instead of trying to have coordinated independence

I know m8, I was just memeing.

Americans really are a bunch of narcissists.

Historically they did.
It's part of the reason why many latin american countries had their laws and political systems modeled after the US, instead of trying something new.

We survived all of that
Whats wrong with us then?

>protecting it
you never protected us from shit, you only made the things worse for everyone

Not that I don't support your point but three times? Let's see the Mexican-American war, the Pershing expedition and ???

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_occupation_of_Veracruz

Fuck off. America brought nothing except death and oppression to Latam

This

esto!

This

The same could be said about you tho

Thanks!

tfw Chile is finally showing their dere side

You won't find anyone past age 18 that likes the US unless he's a manchild that watched too much hollywood

no

That was during their involvement in the Mexican revolution, I wouldn't count it as a separate incident from the punitive expedition, the embassy plot, etc. All these were related events (Americans meddling to install a puppet regime) and they also did ultimately fail.

no

And you

Anyone but us desu

The thing is that they fail all the time but they still leave everything in conflict which halts our progress in general for a while.

I don't know if I'd call them incompetent or luckily competent

Who fucked us up more, the colonial powers or the US?

no

We had a fake independence and our first emperor was part of the Portuguese crown and look what happened to us

The US easily, we were a lot better until the cold war that fucked us over for decades while they kept growing.

Colonial powers exploited the continent but left infrastructure, culture, education and general civilization. US exploited the continent and left nothing. Plus US intervention is most relevant for our current economies than our colinial pass.

The US, colonial powers left and some how we manage to built our own nations, the US just did their best for us to be puppet states or their colonies, no matter what our thoughts were
They literally killed their own soldiers so they could steal half our country

No

Of course

This

>There is an American in here who doesn't have a history degree trying to convince Latin Americans he knows best about their history

The US was to Latin America as Europe was to Africa. Meddling in national affairs and pretending to help just to exploit resources. All the infrastructure we built was to promote extraction of resources.

Granted, if it wasn't the US, it would be Britain or some other nation. Latin America was doomed to fail ever since it fell to Authoritarianism.

Tbqh I'm waiting for the Brits to finally conquer Chile as they intended to, damn mapuches they had to fight harder those spaniards.

>protecting
what?

>America protect Latin America
What le fug

like that time the us protected argentina from the british... oh wait, that never happened
well, like that time chile democratically elected a socialist president and the us... rekt'd us
well you guys are pure shit, not your people but your elite

No, I mean it did blow up in their faces, Mexican nationalism was strongly defined by the revolution and their meddling reinforced already strong anti-American associations to it, especially given Villa's success in evading American retribution for his attack actually provided a point of pride to rally around that was sorely needed since the time of Santa Ana. While Mexican post-revolutionary regimes did understand the need for cooperation with the Americans they were certainly not accomodating, Cardenas did eventually nationalize oil without any consequences and the US had to learn to live with Mexico remaining largely independent (eg as in the case of it's policy towards Cuba) through much of the 20th century, a peaceful neutral neighbour was the best they got during the cold war, not an ally.

Things did change in this century and after Mexico becoming democratic but Trump has singlehandedly guaranteed Mexico will not become an ally in this century either after American foreign policy had appeared to at last finally succeed in this goal.

Accurate. Latin Americans are just as savage as Africans. Our attempts to civilize them were just as hopeless.

>Granted, if it wasn't the US, it would be Britain or some other nation
Goddamn I miss the Brits, they invested in our country making trains and buying meat and stuff.
USA is and have always been too selfish and incompetent as boss, destroying countries economically or socially instead of helping to develope them

>Goddamn I miss the Brits, they invested in our country making trains and buying meat and stuff
This. Brits were much much much better partners.

Elites are shit everywere. Their elite doesn't give two cents for their people why in the world would they give a single fuck about latin america. It's the same with our or any other elite

Yes. Fuck the US of A.

Their people unironically think they're the good guys though.

But they don't even care, they only care about the US.

>Goddamn I miss the Brits, they invested in our country making trains and buying meat and stuff
The Brits literally stole your land and fucked over your navy for decades you damn cuck.

Tell that to China or India or the numerous other countries they've fucked with (Rhodesia, South Africa, Kenya, Palestine...)

>Does Latin America appreciate America for protecting it from European imperialism?
Fuck off.

no fuck off, you didnt protect us in 1805-1806

>The Brits literally stole your land
you mean the falklands? they helped us to industrialize us with trains and business, I think we could forgive them for that, after all they helped us more than your overrated country never will

>and fucked over your navy for decades
?

Not in SA lad, no. They were the single best investors and partners we had. Then you gringos came to replace then.

This is how Spics are user. They can never think for themselves, always seeking to bend over to another master and always choosing the one that will fuck them in the ass the least. They're disgusting creatures.

Top kek mate, are you retarded? Do you even know anything about Arg-GB relationship besides Malvinas/Falklands? No, you do not.

I wish that our countries weren't so butthurt over some shithole islands that literally nobody cares about, I feel like the UK and Latin America could have a great relationship, hopefully it gets better after brexit.

yep, i agree with both of you guys, elites are shit everywhere and yes, most unitedstatians care only about the us, but that is due to their shitty education i think

>Expecting >american education to understand anything outside commie vs freedom tier politics

Butthurt commies. Somehow we didn't weed out all of you. We need another operation.

>The stock of U.S. investment in Argentina reached $13.3 billion in 2011, 14% of all foreign direct investment in Argentina at the time and second only to Spain.

Hmmmm yeah sure m8.

That's pretty sad considering they also attempted to fuck over Brazil numerous times.

You have steel thanks to us

>Our attempts to civilize them
such as?

Nah, it's just funny how Spics glorify other oppressive nations just to justify anti-Americanism, as if they wouldn't have been fucked either way. It's quite ironic when they look up to Europe as if they weren't hungering to fuck them up just as bad or worse than America.

same m8, we used to have a great and productive relationship until the fucking 70s, the Junta ruined everything, they even made the lefties insufferable eternal martyrs

>it fell to Authoritarianism
Yes, because (((democracy))) is a much better option to people prone to corruption like latinos. I mean, look at Apezil today and its rampant corruption. You fucking nigger.

Come back when your national debt is gone, you f*lthy americuck. Someday Russia will do its job and nuke the shit out of you. Someday, not now with Trump, but someday for sure. Those nuclear warheads ought to be used. You can await for it tightly.

Just because one retard said it doesn't mean other people agree.

Nobody likes the US but nobody trusts europe either

>they also attempted to fuck over Brazil numerous times.
Name a single time Brits tried to fuck with Brazil. I can remember a single situation in which we had problems solely because of this madman en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Dougal_Christie

We got a far right death squad funded by the government to hunt down gommies. Then the US decided that that wasn't anti communist enough and coup'd the government

So who do you like? You don't even like each other too much it seems. What's your end game?

>US protect latin america from communism by using CIA and other bastards and creating puppet governments. Outcome: current situation

>US turn a blind eye to the matter and keep it to themsleves. European then proceed to send their people to latin america. Outcome: although latin america would have grown at a much faster pace, it would be taking in millions of muslims and full africans: a larger version of Al-Andalus, people getting bombed and run over.

either way things were going to get really ugly.

Top kek m8, why the fuck americans insist on talking about things they don't know about?

>simple explanations of complicated things
So what was the """""""""real reason""""""" for the coup? Jews wanted to rob you?

He's kind of right though, see:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_crisis_of_1902–03

>Spics glorify other oppressive nations just to justify anti-Americanism
We don't need to glorify other oppressive nations just to justify antiamericanism. We just need to point out how you fucked us up multiple times in the last two centuries.

Ask Kissinger. American foreign relationships at the time seemd to be something like "Humm, maybe the soviets will try to take a foothold on this continent, better shit all over it so the smell makes them change their minds"
And then there's the occasional American millenial coming here and demanding us to be grateful

Thankfully we don't have refugees

>We don't need to glorify other oppressive nations just to justify antiamericanism
You just did here

But we do. I buy sfihas everyday with a syrian refugee.

I'm not the user you quoted, but I didn't glorify brits, just pointed out the difference between them and you

Lol

Ebin thread, burge

Fair enough. Imo, the only differences are ones of opportunity.

My point still stands. A retard saying retarded things doesn't disprove my point.

Vive le France vive le liberte

yet, my friend. It's only a matter of time before: EVERYONE HAS TO E GENEROUS TO THESE POOR GOOD BOOYZ N SHIIEEET, even latin america itself has to contribute to it (even though every latam nation has its own problems to deal with)...

If you've ever read anything about our political and economical history, we had our golden age in the 30s, with 90% of the US' GDP per capita. 80% of that was thanks to the brits. It's not "hur, you just say Britain was good out of spite", it's just that our relationship with Britain was unironically good.
American companies on the other hand had a tendency of undercutting prices and other stuff like that, while refusing to manufacture their products locally

So you are saying that your decline since the "golden age" that you keep bitching about on /int, is our fault?

errrr, mmm , well...frog-san, how to put it... you didn't do that much over here. Spaniards and portuguese were the ones who did that, you know: brazil was a portuguese colony and the rest of the continent (except for north america) was under spaniard administration. If you want to look at your doing go see Haiti and many places in africa, hell, even France (from what i've heared) is africa now.
both were abusive pricks (and the fact spain didn't do anyting worthwhile with all the wealth they found here and ended up becoming a shithole of unemployment is just a little cringy: ALL THOSE HOROS FOR WHAT, VENANCIO FOR WHAT?), but of all european countries who stablished colonies, yours were the worst.

...

no

You anglos are scum.

When a foreign nation starts offering you protection you should start worrying.

Why aren't you grateful like Korea, Japan and Taiwan?
