Cultural Geography of Latin America

Question 9 • TX-World Geography Studies

Which of the following actions is not an example of US involvement in Latin America?

Answer
A
building the Panama Canal
B
intervening in Central American governments during the Cold War
C
engaging in the Spanish-American War
D
bringing the tradition of Carnival to Brazil

Explanation

Building the Panama Canal, intervening in Central American governments during the Cold War, and fighting the Spanish-American War were all ways the United States became involved in Latin America. Carnival, however, is a Brazilian cultural tradition that developed from European and African influences; the United States did not bring it to Brazil. Therefore, “bringing the tradition of Carnival to Brazil” is not an example of U.S. involvement.
