Talk:Latin America

Germany was really thumbing its nose at the Monroe Doctrine when it went toe-to-toe with the US in the Colombia-Venezuela fight, didn't it? What could they gain that would balance out the risks of behaving so provocatively? I know the Monroe Doctrine had been a dead letter thanks to the US's inability to oust Maximilian after the WoS, but I don't recall it being formally withdrawn and I'd think that the US would celebrate its GWI victory by resuscitating it.
