What are your go to events for shocking people into learning about US imperialism in South America?
The overthrow/killing of Salvador Allende is the strongest in my opinion. What else would you pick?
I would say Halls Of Montezuma, but it's so far back that it's easily handwaved.
uh the monroe doctrine?
oh, for shocking people yeah, allende especially with the kissinger quote, united fruit, stuff the contras did.
