What were the methods of control in imperialism in Latin America?

In Latin America, Imperialism was primarily enforced through military intervention, economic dominance, and political manipulation. European powers and the United States often deployed troops to suppress uprisings and maintain order, while establishing economic control through monopolies and exploitative trade agreements that benefited the imperial powers. Additionally, they influenced local governments by supporting favorable regimes or instigating coups to ensure alignment with their interests. This combination of direct and indirect control facilitated the extraction of resources and the imposition of foreign cultural norms.
