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.
The Banana Wars and United Fruit are my go to. Not the bloodiest example of south american imperialism but the complete nakedness of the US invading nations on behalf of company profit cannot be beat when instructing normies
