→Western hemisphere
In the 1930s, when [[Germany]] and [[Japan]] attempted to erode [[American]] primacy in countries like [[Brazil]] and [[Peru]], the United States tempered its unabashed [[interventionism]] by adopting what it called a "[[Good Neighbor Policy]]."

In 1961- 1962, The [[USSR]] took advantage of a recent (1959) [[regime change]] in Cuba to establish a [[strategic]] outpost ninety miles from the United States. Cuba's defection to the Soviet bloc triggered a violent U.S. reaction to the challenge this posed to [[Washington, D.C.|Washington's]] Monroe Doctrine assertion of [[hegemony]] in the Americas. The Soviets, in partnership with Cuba, looked for openings to entrench their [[ideological]], if not their military influence in Nicaragua, Chile, and Grenada. In each case, the United States forcefully intervened to uphold its strategic paramountcy in the western hemisphere. More recently, Washington has relied on economic warfare plus [[covert]] action to challenge and overthrow ideologically heterodox regimes in [[Latin American]] countries like Bolivia and Venezuela.
