South America has been a hotbed for socialist and communist movements for years and was the subject of a power struggle between the US and the USSR during the height of the Cold War. During this time, the US, in an attempt to limit Russian influence in its neighboring regions, followed the disastrous policy of opposing democratically elected socialist leaders in countries like Chile, Guatemala, Brazil and Argentina etc. in favor of tyrannical dictators. Popular victims of this strategy included President Jacobo Árbenz of Guatemala who was replaced with Carlos Castillo Armas, President Salvador Allende of Chile who was replaced with Augusto Pinochet, and President João Goulart of Brazil who was replaced with Humberto de Alencar Castelo Branco.Wednesday 20 February 2019
