From the assertion of the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 to the Reagan
Doctrine of the 1980s, the United States has presumed a position of
political leadership and pre-eminence in the Western Hemisphere.
This has been made possible by two main factors: America's huge
economy, which has made the U.S. the largest single commercial
market and the biggest investor in Latin America, and America's
military prowess, which has been convincingly demonstrated in
victories in the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and the
Spanish-American War (1898). This volume concentrates on the
history of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the nations of
Latin America from the creation of the independent United States in
the late eighteenth century up to the present. This is accomplished
through a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, appendixes,
and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the
countries involved, significant events, major crises, important
figures, controversial issues, and doctrines and policies that have
evolved. For scholars, historians, and students interested in the
diplomacy of these two regions, the Historical Dictionary of United
States-Latin American Relations is an essential reference.
