| Description | Cartoon shows a seedy-looking Latin American man (labeled Argentina) leaning against a wall outside a door where a sign reads "Conference of the Foreign Ministers of the American Republics." The "Good Neighbor Policy" was a phrase adopted by the United States in the 1930s to characterize American intentions toward Latin America. After the United States entered World War II, a conference was held in Rio de Janeiro to coordinate plans for the defense of the Western Hemisphere. Argentina and Chile declined to support an American resolution calling on all the American nations to declare war on the Axis Powers. The U.S. had to settle for a compromise resolution that simply urged each country to sever relations. |
