Post independence, the united states has intervened in latin american political issues largely a. to protect economic interests b. to promote socialism c. to limit spanish influence d. to profit from tax increases

The correct answer is - A. to protect economic interests.

The United States are having big economic interests in the Latin American region, and the fact that the region is right next door just makes it even more important.

After the Latin American countries managed to get their independence, the United States rushed to try and control their political atmosphere, and their economic direction, in order to satisfy their own demand.

Because of the interference of the United States, there were lots of revolutions and overthrows of governments in this region, but instead of benefiting, it backfired on the United States as the people from this region grew to despise them because of their interference.
