Good Neighbor Policy |
Also found in: Legal, Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.03 sec. |
Good Neighbor PolicyPopular name for the policy toward Latin America pursued in the 1930s by U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt. In a marked departure from its traditional interventionism, which was abhorrent to Latin Americans, the U.S. repudiated its assumed right to intervene unilaterally in Latin American affairs, abrogated most provisions of the Platt Amendment (1901), which had restricted the national sovereignty of Cuba, and withdrew its Marines from Haiti. U.S. anticommunist policies after World War II led to renewed distrust between the U.S. and Latin America and brought an end to the noninterventionism of the Good Neighbor Policy.
