The USA was allowed to build and then operate a canal in a certain zone, to maintain armed forces there, etc. In 1904, the Panama Constitution was adopted granting the US the right to land troops in any part of the country, which was repeatedly used by the US government to suppress anti-imperialist actions.

Zapata and Villa pushed, and in late 1914 took the capital of Mexico City. The Junta of Werta collapsed, and the US moved on to direct intervention. Actually, in April 1914, an American landing landed in the Mexican port of Veracruz, which remained there until October. President of Mexico was meanwhile an experienced politician and a landowner, V. Carranza. He defeated William, but opposed the US imperialist policy and promised to carry out land reform.

In Europe, America did not come for Europe, but for America's sake. The overseas capital was preparing this war, and it won it. After the end of the war, through various machinations, more than other allies, they succeeded in enslaving Germany, as a result of which the country, weakened by war, fell into absolute chaos, where fascism also arose. Fascism, by the way, developed with the active assistance of America, which helped him until the end of World War II. States, other than the United States, found themselves in debt to international financial groups and monopolies after the war, where US capital was already playing the first, but by no means the only violin. In total, what the United States wanted was achieved both in Paris in 1919 and in Paris in 1929.
1917 - American tycoons gladly financed the socialist revolution in Russia, hoping to provoke a civil war, chaos and complete liquidation of this country. After the 1917 revolution, US President Woodrow Wilson outlined the US political course on Russia in the following way: all White Guard governments in Russia should receive the assistance and recognition of the Entente; The Caucasus is part of the problem of the Turkish empire; Central Asia should become a protectorate of the Anglo-Saxons; in Siberia there should be a separate government, and in Great Russia - a new (that is, not Soviet). After the victory over the "red plague," Wilson planned to send detachments from youth Christian associations to Russia "for the moral education and guidance of the Russian people." In 1918, American troops entered Vladivostok, and they were finally able to drive them out of the Russian territory only by 1922. As early as December 23, 1917 Clemenceau, Pichon and Foch from France, the lords Milner and Cecile from England concluded a secret convention on the division of spheres of influence in Russia: England - the Caucasus, the Kuban, the Don; France - Bessarabia, Ukraine, Crimea.

Bombs were dropped to intimidate a new enemy, Stalin, when Japan was already trying to enter into negotiations for surrender. Leading warlords of the Second World War, including Dwight Eisenhower, Chester Nimitz and Curtis Limae, have all disapproved of the use of atomic bombs against a defeated enemy.

At the same time, the valiant Amer. the troops nearly ditched the "rescue" ship, lost several dozen soldiers and several helicopters. Nothing is known about the losses of Cambodia.
1975-2002. The pro-Soviet government of Angola faced increasing resistance from the Unita movement, which was supported by South Africa and US special services. The USSR rendered military, political and economic assistance in organizing the intervention of Cuban troops in Angola, supplied the Angolan army with a considerable number of modern weapons, and sent several hundred military advisers to the country. In 1989, Cuban troops were withdrawn from Angola, but a full-scale civil war continued until 1991. The military conflict in Angola ended only in 2002, after the death of Jonas Savimbi, the permanent leader of the Unita.
1975-2003 - East Timor. In December 1975, a day after the departure of US President Ford from Indonesia, which became the most valuable instrument of the United States in Southeast Asia, Suharto's military with the blessing of the US invaded the island and used American weapons in this aggression. By 1989, Indonesian troops, with the goal of forcibly annexing Timor, killed 200,000 people. from its 600-thousand population. The United States supports Indonesia's claims to Timor, supports this aggression and diminishes the scale of bloodshed on the island.

The international community condemned this murder and put pressure on the country. In a difficult moment, Central Africa came to the aid of the United States, who benefited from this pro-American government.America was not at all embarrassed by the fact that the "Emperor" Jean-Bedel Bokassa personally took part in the massacre, after which he ate some of the murdered children.

1979-1989 - Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Struggling with the official Kabul government, the Mujahideen, including the volunteer from Saudi Arabia, Osama bin Laden, supported the United States. The Americans supplied Bin Laden with weapons, information (including the results of satellite reconnaissance), propaganda materials for distribution on the territory of Afghanistan and the USSR. We can say that they waged war by the hands of Afghan insurgents. In 1989, Soviet troops left Afghanistan, in which the civil war continued between the opposing factions of the Mujahideen and tribal associations.
1980-1992 - El Salvador. Under the pretext of exacerbating internal struggles in a country growing into a civil war, the US first expanded its military presence in El Salvador by sending advisers, and then joined in special operations using the Pentagon's and Langley's espionage capabilities on an ongoing basis. The proof of this is that about 20 Americans were killed or injured as a result of helicopter and aircraft crashes during reconnaissance or other missions over the battlefield.
There is also evidence of US participation in ground combat operations. The war officially ended in 1992. It cost El Salvador 75,000 civilian deaths, the US Treasury - $ 6 billion, withdrawn from the pockets of taxpayers. Since then, there have been no social changes in the country. A handful of rich still owns and rules the country, the poor have become even poorer, the opposition is being suppressed by the "death squads". So, women were hanged in the trees for their own hair and cut off their breasts, they cut out the insides in the genital area and put them on their face. The men were cut off by the genitals and thrust them into their mouths, children were torn with barbed wire in front of their parents. All this was done in the name of democracy with the help of American specialists, every year several thousand people died like this. Active participation in the killings of graduates of the American School of the Americas, which is known for its training in torture and terrorist activities. The 1980s. in Honduras there are military death squads, prepared and paid for by the United States. The number of victims killed in this country was estimated at tens of thousands. Many officers of those death squads have been trained in the United States. Honduras was turned into a military base for the United States to fight against El Salvador and Nicaragua.
1980 - military assistance to Iraq in order to destabilize the new anti-American regime of Iran. The war lasts 10 years, the number of dead is estimated at one million.

The protest was directed against the use of torture, mass arrests, falsified elections and personally against the American puppet Chun Doo Hwan. Years later, Ronald Reagan told him that he "did a lot to maintain the five-thousand-year tradition of commitment to freedom."
1981 - Zambia. America very much did not like the government of this country, tk. it did not support the much-beloved US apartheid in South Africa. Therefore, the Americans are trying to organize a coup d'état, which Zambian dissidents were supposed to carry out with the support of the South African detachments. The coup attempt failed.
1981 - The US shoots down 2 Libyan aircraft. This terrorist attack was aimed at destabilizing the anti-American government of M. Kadaffi. At the same time, exemplary maneuvers were conducted near the coast of Libya. Kadaffi supported the Palestinians in the struggle for independence and overthrew the previous pro-American government.
1981-1990 - Nicaragua. The CIA directs the invasion of the country of the insurgents and the installation of mines. After the fall of the dictatorship of Samos and the coming to power of Sandinista in 1978, it became clear that in Latin America "another Cuba" might appear. President Carter resorted to the sabotage of the revolution in diplomatic and economic form. Reagan who replaced him bets on strength. At that time, Nicaragua was poor among the poorest countries on the planet: in the country there were only five elevators and one single escalator, and that one did not work.But Reagan said that Nicaragua is a terrible danger, and while he was making his speech, they showed on television a map of the United States that was red with paint, as if portraying the danger coming from Nicaragua. For 8 years, the people of Nicaragua were attacked by the contras created by the United States from the remnants of the Samos Guard and other supporters of the dictator. They launched a total war against all progressive social and economic programs of the government. Reagan's "fighters for freedom" burned schools and clinics, engaged in violence and torture, bombing and shooting peaceful people, which led to the defeat of the revolution. In 1990, elections were held in Nicaragua, during which America spent $ 9 million to support the pro-American party (National Opposition Union) and blackmailing the people that if this party gets power, the raids of the contras financed from the US will cease , and instead of them a massive assistance will be rendered to the country. Indeed, the Sandinista lost. In 10 years of "freedom and democracy", no assistance has been received in Nicaragua, but the economy was destroyed, the country became impoverished, widespread illiteracy spread, and social services that were the best in Central America before the arrival of pro-American forces were destroyed.

1982 - Guatemala. America helps to come to power to General Efrain Rios Montt. Over 17 months of rule, he destroyed 400 Indian villages.
1983 - military intervention in Grenada about 2 thousand marines. Hundreds of lives are lost. A revolution took place in Grenada, as a result of which left-wing forces came to power. The new government of this small island country tried to conduct economic reforms with the help of Cuba and the USSR. This frightened the US, extremely apprehensive of the "export" of the Cuban revolution. Despite the fact that the leader of Grenadian Marxists, Maurice Bishop, was killed by party comrades, the US decided to invade Grenada. A formal verdict on the use of military force was issued by the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, and the reason for the beginning of the military operation was the seizure of American students hostage. President of the United States Ronald Reagan said that "the Cuban-Soviet occupation of Grenada was being prepared," and that weapons stores are being built on Grenada that international terrorists can use. After the capture of the island by the US Marine Corps (1983), it turned out that the students were not held hostage, and the warehouses were filled with old Soviet weapons. Before the invasion began, the US announced that there were 1.2 thousand Cuban commandos on the island. After it turned out that the Cubans were no more than 200, one third of them were civilians. The members of the revolutionary government were arrested by the US military and handed over to US proteges. The court, appointed by the new Grenada authorities, sentenced them to various terms of imprisonment. The UN Assembly condemned such actions by a majority of votes. President Reagan (Reagan) respectfully commented on this news: "It did not even break my breakfast."

The case was discussed at the International Court of Justice, America was awarded $ 18 billion, but she did not pay attention to it.
