The historic relationship of the United States with Latin America is like that of Europe with Asia and Africa. It has been a history of intervention and exploitation of the natural and human resources.
This has caused extreme poverty, the destruction of natural habitats, and stagnated development for the descendants of the first peoples of this continent. As a result, millions are unable to attain their human, intellectual and creative capacity. Many are forced to leave their homes in order to survive.
