Question

question 6 of 10
which of the following did not motivate u.s. foreign policy in latin america
during the 19th century?

a. stopping the sale of opium in latin american markets

b. placing pro - u.s. leaders in latin american governments

c. establishing a u.s. military presence in the region

d. promoting u.s. economic interests in the region

Explanation:

19th-century U.S. Latin American foreign policy focused on installing friendly leaders, military presence, and economic gains (consistent with options B, C, D). Opium trade suppression was a U.S. policy focus in East Asia, not Latin America, so this was not a motivating factor.

Answer:

A. Stopping the sale of opium in Latin American markets
