The Pull of the Monroe Doctrine Magnet: United States Interventions in Latin America, 1913 This illustration, titled "The Pull of the Monroe Doctrine Magnet," was published on August 13, 1913, and provides a satirical commentary on the United States' growing influence in Latin America during this period. The image depicts Uncle Sam, a symbol of the United States, seated on the right with outstretched legs, forming a magnet labeled "United States Protectorates." Uncle Sam is using this magnet to attract various Central and South American countries, represented by small figures labeled Cuba, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, Salvador, and Colombia, towards himself. A figure labeled Panama is already in his back pocket, signifying the recent U.S. intervention in Panama and the construction of the Panama Canal. On the left, in the background, clouds of smoke labeled Mexico are depicted, representing the ongoing Mexican Revolution. The turmoil in Mexico serves as a reminder of the complex geopolitical landscape of Latin America during this time. The Monroe Doctrine, which was first articulated by President James Monroe in 1823, asserted the United States' right to intervene in Latin American affairs to protect its interests. This illustration highlights the application of the Monroe Doctrine during the early 20th century and the tensions that arose as a result of U.S. interventionism in the region.
