There is much controversy around this, but by and large most people agree that US interference in South America, and English interference in the Middle East and South Asia in the late 19th and 20th centuries was a net negative for all the resulting countries. Much of American and English wealth was built on extracting resources and wealth out of these countries and concentrating them in Europe and the US. Heck, the very crown of the King of England has an Indian/Pakistani diamond in it.
