The United States would send troops into Latin America to help protect U.S. interests and bolster friendly dictators. The Organization of American
States (OAS) was formed in 1948 by the states of the Western
Hemisphere.
This organization called for an end to military action by one state
in the affairs of any other state. The United States returned to a policy of
taking action when it believed that Soviet agents were trying to establish
Communist governments or governments adverse to U.S. interests.
