This brand-new podcast analyses the effect of Truman’s containment policies on Latin America between 1947 and 1953 It argues that Truman, busied with communism in Europe and Asia, prioritised armed forces services and regional security over financial aid and democratic development in Latin America, cultivating resentment. First favorable view adhering to the Act of Chapultepec, which guaranteed sovereignty, was soon weakened by treatments and the Rio Deal, pushing Latin American countries right into an anti-communist stance without mutual advantages. The facility of the OAS and the School of the Americas further strengthened this approach, frequently sustaining autocratic programs. In spite of a quick acknowledgement of socio-economic demands with the Factor Four program, army aid stayed the focus, leading to climbing anti-Americanism and strained connections by the end of Truman’s presidency.
