Canada-Latin America relations

In Latin America, much of the 20th century witnessed a struggle between the forces of revolution and reaction. The focus of this chapter and the next is on third world nations, which display great diversity and cultural emphasis. In the second half of the 20th century, Latin America took an intermediate position between the nations of the north Atlantic and those of Africa and Asia. Investments often came from the West and Latin America was vulnerable to the world financial system. The US constantly intervened with Latin American issues such as economically, politically, strategically, and ideologically.
