The US government was very involved in Latin America during the cold war often in an attempt to establish capitalist influences there.

Explanation:

During the cold war US and USSR engaged in various proxy wars to expand their sphere of influence and make the world run according to their preferred political belief.

To do this they often engaged in political maneuvering in countries that were yet to take sides.

To take the geographical advantage offered, US enticed Latin American countries into free trade systems and when they didn't follow they even funded coups in the countries.
