Isolationism versus Internationalism · US History

The 'Good Neighbor Policy' toward Latin America aimed to:

  1. Annex Cuba and Puerto Rico as the 49th and 50th states
  2. Establish a series of new military bases throughout Latin America to counter growing German influence
  3. Force Latin American countries to adopt American-style constitutions
  4. Reduce U.S. military intervention and promote better relations in the Western Hemisphere
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Reduce U.S. military intervention and promote better relations in the Western Hemisphere

By moving away from the 'Big Stick' and 'Dollar Diplomacy' of the past, the U.S. sought to create regional unity. This was partly an effort to secure the Western Hemisphere against fascist influence without direct military occupation.
