Editing Good Neighbor policy (section)

===Legacy===
The era of the Good Neighbor Policy ended with the ramp-up of the [[Cold War]] in 1945, as the United States felt there was a greater need to protect the Western Hemisphere from [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] influence. The changes conflicted with the Good Neighbor Policy's fundamental principle of non-intervention and led to a new wave of US involvement in [[Latin American]] affairs.<ref name=Gilderhus/> Until the end of the Cold War the United States directly or indirectly attacked all suspected socialist or communist movements in the hope of ending the spread of Soviet influence. U.S. interventions and interference in this era included the CIA overthrow of [[Guatemala]]'s President [[Jacobo Árbenz]] in 1954, the unsuccessful CIA-backed [[Bay of Pigs Invasion]] in [[Cuba]] in 1961, support for the [[1964 Brazilian coup d'état]] which helped to remove from power democratically elected President [[João Goulart]], the [[United States occupation of the Dominican Republic (1965–1966)|occupation of the Dominican Republic]], in response to the [[Dominican Civil War]], in 1965–1966, the [[United States intervention in Chile#Allende Presidency|CIA subversion]] of Chilean President [[Salvador Allende]] in 1970–1973, and support for the [[1973 Chilean coup d'etat|1973 coup d'etat]] that removed Allende, and support for [[Operation Charly]] in Central America and [[Operation Condor]] in South America, and the [[CIA activities in Nicaragua|CIA subversion of Nicaragua's Sandinista government]] from about 1981 to 1990.<ref name=Gilderhus/>

After [[World War II]], the [[Organization of American States]] was established in 1949. However, the U.S. began to shift its focus to aid and rebuilding efforts in [[Europe]] and [[Japan]]. These U.S. efforts largely neglected the [[Latin American]] countries, though U.S. investors and businessmen did have some stake in the nations to the South. In the late 1950s, United States strengthened relations with Latin America, launching the [[Inter-American Development Bank]] and later the [[Alliance for Progress]]. However, in the late 1960s, as part of the [[Cold War]], the United States government provided support to right-wing dictatorships with [[Operation Condor]]. Also, in the context of the [[War on Drugs]], the United States government has collaborated with local governments to fight cartels, for example with the [[Plan Colombia]] and the [[Mérida Initiative]].
