This report explores the creation of President Richard Nixon’s Latin American policy in the first year of his administration. After a brief overview of key events early in the administration, such as the U.S. government’s response to the brief war between El Salvador and Honduras known colloquially as the “Soccer War”, the body of the report will explore two discrete events.

Since the Latin American countries consolidated their independence from the Spanish Empire in the second and third decades of the nineteenth century, their links with the leading country in the north of the hemisphere have been asymmetrical, dependent and of secondary importance for policy- makers in Washington. Exceptions to this are only found under certain “crisis situations” that quite occasionally take place in Latin American countries.

  • Primary Document #1: the Open Door Notes (Policy) (1899-1900)
    Primary Document #1: The Open Door Notes (Policy) (1899-1900) By the late 19th century, Japan and the European powers had carved much of China into separate spheres of influence, inside of which each held economic dominance. The U.S., coming late to imperialism, held no sphere of influence in China. In 1899 U.S. Secretary of State John Hay proposed an "Open Door" policy in China in which all nations would have equal trading and development rights throughout all of China. Such a policy would put all the imperialist powers on equal footing in China and would limit the advantages of having one’s own sphere of influence. As you read, think about how the Open Door policy might be seen as noble and fair, and think about how it also reflects American political and economic self-interest. Document A: The Open Door Notes (Policy) Earnestly desirous to remove any cause of irritation and to insure at the same time to the commerce of all nations in China... [the United States urges all nations claiming a sphere of influence in China to declare] that [all nations] shall enjoy perfect equality of treatment for their commerce and navigation within such spheres.... We adhere to the policy... of peace with the Chinese nation, of furtherance of lawful commerce, and of protection of lives and property of our citizens by all means.... The policy of the Government of the United States is to seek a solution which may bring about permanent safety and peace to China, preserve Chinese territorial and administrative entity, protect all rights guaranteed to friendly powers by treaty and international law, and safeguard for the world the principle of equal and impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese Empire.

This analysis identifies three such periods in American foreign policy since the United States became a World Power and draws from the work of Peter Hall to develop a typology of strategies according to the magnitude of policy change. These range from adjustment in the settings of interventionism – persistence; the substitution of alternative instruments of foreign policy – ameliorism; and the principled rejection of interventionism in conjunction with a more systematic critique of prevailing foreign policy assump- tions – transformationalism.

  • Representing the Good Neighbor: Material For
    “Representing the Good Neighbor: Material for U.S. and Brazilian Relations during World War II” A thesis submitted by Isabel Loyola in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Tufts University May 2018 Adviser: Peter Winn i Abstract The thesis focuses on U.S. and Brazilian relations during World War II. In an effort against the spread of European fascisms in Latin America, the United States started a mission to secure Brazilian loyalty. For Brazil, to break relations with the Axis, was a difficult choice. Given that it had a well-established trade relation with Germany and a numerous German, Italian, and Japanese immigrant populations. Brazil saw U.S. interest as an opportunity to gain much needed profitable economic agreements that would advance the development of the country into a regional and international power. In this mutually beneficial agreement propaganda played an important role; it crystalized the partnership. Two examples have been chosen to analyze how the campaign reflected wartime representations of Brazil for a U.S. audience: the Brazilian Pavilion for the 1939 New York World’s Fair, and the wartime films of Carmen Miranda. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my professor Peter Winn and professor David Ekbladh for helping me develop this project, from its beginnings as a final essay to this thesis. I would like to thank the History Department and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences for awarding me with the funds needed for my multiple research trips. Thank you for believing in my project. This process would not have been the same without the support of faculty, administrative staff, friends, and family.

  • The Monroe Doctrine
    Day 11 The Monroe Doctrine In 1823, in his annual message to Congress, President James Monroe stated that 'the American continents ... are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.' Foreign powers had been coming and going from North and South America for many years. The President made a bold statement in this message. This 'Monroe Doctrine' became the basis for American foreign policy for the future. A doctrine is 'a stated principal of government policy.' Americans were concerned that Spain and France were trying to regain power in Central and South America. The British asked the United States if they could join in this doctrine. John Adams opposed this idea. In the years following, although Spain and France did occasionally send troops into those areas, America was mainly interested in decreasing British trade to those areas. The United States wanted to increase its own trade with Central and South America. In 1842, President John Tyler used the doctrine as the basis for his right to annex Texas. Venezuela complained. A Venezuelan newspaper reported. 'Beware, brothers, the wolf approaches the lamb.' The United States was characterized as a wolf using power over Mexico who owned Texas. In 1861, to avoid focus on the possibility of the Civil War and distract attention, Secretary of State Seward tried to use the doctrine to drive out all foreign countries from Cuba and make it independent. President Lincoln said no. In the 1890's, the Latin American countries were upset because America defended Venezuela over a boundary dispute with British Guiana, its neighbor.

    Richard M. Nixon at the National Press Club, May 21, 1958 Vice President Richard M. Nixon (center) with Sen. John F. Kennedy (right), Jacob Seidenberg (at podium), Herman Edelsberg and Ruth Rabb, May 1958. National Press Club Archives Vice President Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994) spoke to reporters at a National Press Club luncheon and fielded their questions one week after his “goodwill” trip to eight South American nations ended in a vicious demonstration of anti-Americanism that threatened his life. Nixon kept his cool throughout the ordeal and returned home to accept a hero’s welcome. The encounter, one of the “Six Crises” Nixon described in the book he wrote a few years later bearing that title, led the vice president to urge President Dwight D. Eisenhower to revamp U.S. policy toward Latin America. At the nationally televised Press Club talk, he expressed opinions in this vein that he fleshed out for the president in a National Security Council meeting the following day. Relations between the U.S. and Latin America have been guided by the Monroe Doctrine, formulated in an 1823 message to Congress by President James Monroe in response to threatened Russian and French incursions into the Western Hemisphere. In effect, the doctrine established a U.S. sphere of influence by warning European powers against future colonization in the Americas. President Theodore Roosevelt added a corollary in 1904 to justify the U.S. becoming the region’s “international police power” when chaotic internal conditions resulting from “chronic wrongdoing” or “incompetence” otherwise might invite European interference. During the first third of the twentieth century, the U.S.
