Title: Why was the strategy used by the United States to dominate Central and South Ame Post by: colleen on Nov 16, 2012 Why was the strategy used by the United States to dominate Central and South American countries considered more ethically acceptable than the colonial strategy used by European countries to dominate African and Middle Eastern countries?
Title: Re: Why was the strategy used by the United States to dominate Central and South Ame Post by: ThePsychic on Nov 17, 2012 European colonialism involved outright military invasion and conquest. The economic domination used by the United States did not usually involve the U.S. military, but government-supported exploitation of other countries by privately owned businesses. The involvement of the U.S. government in this form of conquest and domination was less obvious and less forceful, making it more ethically acceptable, at least on the surface.
