Searching for Latin America


 * Roosevelt Corollary
 * I knew right away that I wanted more information on US-Latin American relations so that was the first thing I searched up. I decided to focus on the Roosevelt Corollary because I remember learning it in AP US History sophomore year and I think it was the first time Latin America was really mentioned in a history class for me (and even then it wasn't a whole lot).
 * Some key words seem to be: Roosevelt; Monroe Doctrine; US relations; US intervention in Latin America
 * Considering it was such a huge moment in US history and US-Latin American relations, there's very little information provided. It simply gives very minimal insight into why the Corollary was added and how it has impacted US, Latin American, and world politics as a whole. There are only 12 citations, which I found surprising since I'm confident there are many more resources that could be used. I also find it interesting that there's only a small paragraph about criticism, and that it also doesn't include modern day criticism, which I think is important. Overall, I think there's not nearly enough content regarding this significant moment in history.

Contemporary Actor Search


 * recent student protests (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-chile-students-protest/chiles-students-launch-first-protest-under-pinera-administration-idUSKBN1HQ2TO)
 * there's nothing on wikipedia (yet) about the recent protests, in fact there seems to be very little information in general about the protests. Only major news sources that reported on it were Reuters and BBC, and even then there was only one article for each. There have been a few other articles but from lesser known and possible not as reliable sources
 * BBC's article was in reference to ANOTHER student protest in 2018, this one about sexual violence (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-44396951) - Reuters was about the education system

Searching for Latin America


 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_America%E2%80%93United_States_relations
 * This wiki article gives a lot of information about past Latin America-US relations, but not that much information on recent relations with the Trump Administration. It's hard to get a feel for contemporary issues with this article
 * https://thehill.com/latino/382739-relations-with-latin-america-sour-under-trump
 * This article really shows how even before Mexico's recent elections, relations between the US and Mexico were beginning to strain under the Trump Administration
 * https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/18/world/americas/trump-trade-latin-america.html
 * This article talks about the ways Latin America as a whole is pushing against Trump and his (primarily economic) policies. It surprised me to discover that many countries within the region are working together to counter Trump's policies because I feel like I haven't heard anything in the news about what Latin America is doing - only what the US is doing.
 * https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/12/trump-trade-china-latin-america-476170
 * This article is concerned with the possible impact a trade war with China would have on US-Latin America relations. It mentions the fact that a trade war would actually work in favor of Latin America (for some period) and both bolster its economy and create stronger ties with China. The more Trump isolates the US from Latin America, the more likely the region will look to China as its primary trade partner.
 * https://money.cnn.com/2018/02/09/news/economy/china-latin-america-trump/index.html
 * This one is also concerned with the ways in which Trump is weakening economic ties between Latin America and the US and thus giving China the chance to strengthen its ties with Latin America. It also gets into the fact that Latin Americans are increasingly becoming distrustful toward the US government. It shows how China is investing more and more into Latin America, and as such gaining traction in the region.
 * https://www.cfr.org/report/us-latin-america-relations
 * This article describes a lot of the ways the US is dependent on Latin America - especially in regards to oil, as well as how Latin America is becoming less dependent on only the US and is making its own connections with other countries.
 * https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/13/opinion/china-trump-pence-summit-lima-latin-america.html
 * This one also describes how China is taking advantage of Trump’s isolationist policies and slowly becoming more of power force in Latin America. A piece of information I was surprised by was the fact that “Latin America is the second-largest destination for Chinese investment.”
 * https://www.desarrollando-ideas.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/07/170720_DI_Report_Foreign_Policy_US_LATAM_ENG-1.pdf
 * This study goes into the deeper details of Trump’s stance on Latin America and overall relations between the US and Latin America. It addresses people’s opinions on how well the relations will be under Trump, free trade agreements, US soft power, and more.
