Trades and Allies

One ally that Latin America has almost always had was the United States. This was due to the fact that they needed our military and the U.S. needed to trade with them due to Latin America's resources. However, several countries in Latin America have formed alliances. The War of the Triple Alliance (1964-1870) was a war between Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil against Paraguay. This is just one of the many wars that Latin America has had. Not only to establish alliances but to guarantee their independence.
