Took over almost half of Mexico
In 1846, shortly after the annexation of Texas, President James Polk ordered U.S. troops into disputed lands, precipitating a war against Mexico.
The war ended with the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. This is
what Chicano activists mean when they say "the border crossed them."
Today, 33.5 million people of Mexican origin live in the United States.

Took over almost half of Mexico ?
The United States paid Mexico $15,000,000 "in consideration of the
extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States" (see Article

the south as far as the Sulu Sea, Spain reserving to the south of this
sea the islands of Mindanao and Sulu, which have never formed a part
of the Philippine Islands archipelago proper. The United States, as
compensation for said islands, for the right to land cables, and for the
public works executed by Spain in said islands during her rule, will pay
to Spain the sum of $50,000,000.
Third, Spain relinquishes her sovereignty over Cuba and gratuitously
cedes to the United States the Philippine Islands Archipelago proper,
besides Porto Rico, the other West Indies, and the island of Guam, which
she cedes as compensation for the expenses of the war and as indemnity
to American citizens for injuries suffered since the beginning of
the last Cuban insurrection. The United States and Spain will submit
to an arbitral tribunal what are the debts and obligations of a colonial
character which should pass with the islands the sovereignty over which
Spain relinquishes and cedes.

By agreement reached through the Council of the Organization of
American States, a Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs,
to serve as Organ of Consultation in accordance with Article 6 of the
Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, will be held at Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, in July l954.
Article 6 of the Treaty provides that the Organ of Consultation
shall meet immediately in the event the inviolability or the integrity
of the territory or the sovereignty or political independence of any
American State should be affected by, inter alia, any fact or situation
that might endanger the peace of America.
The "fact or situation" to be considered by the Organ of Consultation
at Rio de Janeiro is the threat to the peace and security of America and
to the sovereignty and political independence of Guatemala arising from
the penetration of the political institutions of that country by the
international Communist movement.
At the meeting at Rio de Janeirb the American Republics will con-
sider, for the fourth time in six years at a major meeting of their
regional association, the threat to their peace and security arising from
the same source: Soviet Communist imperialism.
At the two Inter-American Conferences held at Bogota" in l948 and at
Caracas in l954 the American Republics considered the general aspects of
the danger: at Bogota they were concerned primarily with the internal
action which each state might take within its own jurisdiction to defend
itself and the other republics from the subversive activities of agents
of international communism; at Caracas they issued a foreign policy
declaration against the intervention of international communism in the
Western Hemisphere.

to deprive rich men of their wealth as to gain control over sources of jobs and,

Fidel Castro with Chile's President Salvador Allende upon his arrival at Pudahuel Airport in Santiago on November 10, 197
Allende led the September 1970 voting with 37% and was then named president by parliament. The UP included the Communist and Socialist parties and some smaller middle-class formations. Allende’s election reflected a mass working-class radicalisation, whose impetus led to enactment by the UP government of some significant reforms.
But the Allende government was hemmed in by dependency on a hostile parliamentary majority, governmental apparatus and army. It was held back by the conservatism of forces within the UP, including, notably, the Communist Party. It was further undermined by US sanctions and subversion. On September 11, 1973, a right-wing military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet overturned the government. The coup regime claimed the lives of more than 3200 Chileans, including President Allende, imprisoned at least 80,000 and forced 200,000 into exile.[1]
---------------------------------
Upon the death of President Juan Perón, his widow and Vice President Isabel became President. Videla headed a military coup which deposed her on 24 March 1976, during increasing violence, social unrest and economic problems. A military junta was formed, made up of him, representing the Army; Admiral Emilio Massera representing the Navy; and Brigadier General Orlando Ramón Agosti representing the Air Force.[10] Two days after the coup, Videla formally assumed the post of President of Argentina.

21,600 Acts of terrorismo in Argentina.
-----------------------------------------
By the act of Juue 28, 1902, the President of the United States was au-
thorized to acquire, at a cost not exceeding $40,000,000, "the rights, privileges,
franchises, concessions," and other property of the New Panama Canal Com-
pany, and an agreement to that end was made by him with the company. It
was, of course, known to the President, to the company, and to the Government
of Colombia that, by articles 2 land 22 of the Salgar-Wyse concession of 1878,
the company could not transfer to the United States its "rights, privileges,
franchises, and concessions " without the consent of Colombia. Therefore,
and before entering upon any dealings with the New Panama Canal Company,
the present treaty with Colombia was negotiated and signed.
.....Under this arrangement there has been paid to the Government of
France 7,000,000 francs, in satisfaction of its said claims, and the
canal company has paid to the Government of Colombia direct
about 4,000,000 francs, the balance upon the cash distribution appur-
tenant to said 50.000 shares.
This subject, therefore, has been adjusted to the satisfaction of
all parties; the Republic of Colombia has received from the canal
company the sum of about $800,000 gold, and therefore there is no
occasion to embody Article V in the treaty consummating the proto-
col referred to.

The United States, Cuba, and the Platt Amendment, 1901
The Platt Amendment, an amendment to a U.S. army appropriations bill, established the terms under which the United States would end its military occupation of Cuba (which had begun in 1898 during the Spanish-American War) and “leave the government and control of the island of Cuba to its people.” While the amendment was named after Senator Orville Platt of Connecticut, it was drafted largely by Secretary of War Elihu Root. The Platt Amendment laid down eight conditions to which the Cuban Government had to agree before the withdrawal of U.S. forces and the transfer of sovereignty would begin.---------------------------------

The Torrijos - Carter Treaty and other related documents were signed in
Washington DC on September 7, 1977 between General Omar Torrijos Herrera
and the US President Jimmy Carter. This treaty progressively
transferred sovereignty over the Panama Canal from the United States to
Panama, on 31 December 1999. These agreements were signed in the offices
of the Organization of American States, with presidents from all around
Latin America as guests and witnesses. The treaty was subsequently
ratified by a plebiscite in Panama on 23 October 1977, and approved by
the U.S. Senate in March and April of 1978.
