The banana war, also known as the "American - Caribbean War", is a series of occupations, police actions, and intervention by America's involvement in the Central American and American Caribbean. This conflict began with the 1898 Spanish-American war and the subsequent Paris Convention. As a result, the United States was able to control Cuba and Puerto Rico. Since that time, the United States has conducted military intervention in Cuba, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Franklin D. A series of conflicts ended in 1934 with the withdrawal of troops from Haiti under the guidance of President Roosevelt. The causes of these conflicts vary, but they are mainly economic. This conflict is known as the "banana war" from the relationship between US intervention and the protection of US commercial interests in the region.

Between 1898 and 1934, the US Marines carried out several small wars in the Caribbean. Currently they are collectively called "banana war". During the complicated period between the end of the voyage era and the massive war of amphibians of the Second World War, the Marines were looking for missions. Therefore, they usually represent Latin American intervention on behalf of the United Fruit Company, and are simply a beautified collection. In 1946, the US military founded the American Academy and the US military and CIA agent trained Latin Americans to participate in the Communist Party Rebellion. With the attention of the American Academy, America spurred the revolt and backed dictators throughout Latin America.

Investment in Cuba in the United States was earlier than the war, followed by direct Caribbean involvement. Cuba became American economic dependency, Puerto Rico was consolidated. When Colombia did not want to meet the US proposal to build the Panama Canal, the United States backed Panama's revolution and gained an exclusive right to its canal. Therefore, the Latin Americans are highly suspicious of the US of the expandingist.
