Predict the likely position the United States would take if: In 1830, Spain sent troops to occupy the spanish colonies in South America

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is : The United States would not interfere

Explanation: At the time of the colonization of South America, in the United States they were also occupying indigenous territories, a brutal policy against the Indians was implemented during the Jackson administration. The Spanish colonization of America managed to integrate the markets of Europe, Asia and America, achieving the globalization of the economy.

Answer 2

It would be seen as a threat in the region that Spain would fortify its presence in the American continent. If Spanish would be lucky in South America, they possibly would look to occupy former Spanish colonies in Central America.

It would likely precipitate the Mexican-American War and the American Army would be stronger with a capital injection from the American government to fortify their position in the continent going beyond the Republic of Texas and the Rio Grande.
