The Cold War affected relations between the United States and several Latin American countries. Among these, we can include Guatemala, Cuba and Chile. All of these countries were communist sympathizers, and all of them had, to different extents, attempted to implement some communist policies. As the United States was opposed to communism, it believed it had the right to impose its views on other countries. The United States attempted to intervene the government of these countries and dominate their politics. Its attempts were successful to various different levels. These practices led to the United States severely damaging its relationship with these countries.
