Summary "The United States and Latin America" by John Holladay Latané is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the diplomatic and political relationships between the United States and various Latin American nations, particularly focusing on the Spanish-American revolutions and their aftermath. It dives into the complexities of these relationships, the nature of independence movements, and the historical context surrounding U.S. interactions with its southern neighbors. The opening of the work provides a detailed overview of the Spanish colonies' path to independence, contrasting their struggles with those of the English colonies. Latané discusses how oppressive economic systems and administrative hierarchies in the Spanish colonies hindered their development and fostered resentment against colonial rule. He highlights significant figures, such as Francisco de Miranda, who played crucial roles in advocating for revolution and independence, while outlining the larger geopolitical implications and effects of these liberation movements on U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America.
