    The US has actively suppressed any development in countries that could become competitors or non-aligned regional powers. Think Chile, Argentina, and Brazil (at least twice).

      Argentina and Brazil do that to themselves Chile actually signed very lucrative trades deals with the US and serve as a stark contrast to their next door neighbours

          Brazil and Argentina also tortured and killed some people, except they got nothing in return.
