David Swanson ndiye wolemba buku latsopanoli Chiphunzitso cha Monroe pa 200 ndi Chomwe Mungasinthire nacho.
Chiphunzitso cha Monroe chinakambidwa koyamba pansi pa dzinalo ngati kulungamitsidwa kwa nkhondo ya US ku Mexico yomwe idasuntha malire akumadzulo kwa US kumwera, kumeza madera amakono a California, Nevada, ndi Utah, ambiri a New Mexico, Arizona ndi Colorado, ndi madera aku Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, ndi Wyoming. Sizinali kuti kum'mwera kwenikweni komwe ena akadakonda kusuntha malirewo.
Nkhondo yowopsa ku Philippines idakulanso kuchokera kunkhondo yovomerezeka ya Monroe-Doctrine yolimbana ndi Spain (ndi Cuba ndi Puerto Rico) ku Caribbean. Ndipo imperialism yapadziko lonse inali kukulitsa bwino kwa Chiphunzitso cha Monroe.
Koma ponena za Latin America kuti Chiphunzitso cha Monroe nthawi zambiri chimatchulidwa masiku ano, ndipo Chiphunzitso cha Monroe chakhala chapakati pa kuukira kwa US kwa oyandikana nawo akumwera kwa zaka 200. M’zaka mazana amenewa, magulu ndi anthu paokha, kuphatikizapo aluntha a ku Latin America, onse atsutsa Chiphunzitso cha Monroe chotsutsa imperialism ndipo ankafuna kunena kuti Chiphunzitso cha Monroe chiyenera kutanthauziridwa kuti chimalimbikitsa kudzipatula ndi multilateralism. Njira ziwirizi zakhala ndi zopambana zochepa. Kulowererapo kwa US kwatsika ndikuyenda koma sikunayime.
Kutchuka kwa Chiphunzitso cha Monroe monga chofotokozera mu nkhani yaku US, yomwe idakwera modabwitsa kwambiri m'zaka za zana la 19, ndikukwaniritsa udindo wa Declaration of Independence kapena Constitution, mwina chifukwa cha kusamveka bwino komanso kupewa. za kupereka boma la US ku china chilichonse, pomwe zikumveka ngati wankhanza. Pamene nyengo zosiyanasiyana zimawonjezera "zotsatira" zawo ndi matanthauzidwe, ofotokozera amatha kuteteza zomwe amakonda kwa ena. Koma mutu waukulu, onse asanachitike komanso ochulukirapo pambuyo pa Theodore Roosevelt, wakhala akukhala imperialism yapadera.
Anthu ambiri okondana ku Cuba adatsogola Bay of Pigs SNAFU. Koma zikafika pa kuthawa kwa gringos odzikuza, palibe zitsanzo za nthano zomwe zingakhale zokwanira popanda nkhani yapadera koma yowulula ya William Walker, wolemba filimu yemwe adadzipanga kukhala purezidenti wa Nicaragua, atanyamula kumwera kukula komwe akale monga Daniel Boone adachita kumadzulo. . Walker si mbiri yachinsinsi ya CIA. CIA inali isanakhalepo. M'zaka za m'ma 1850 Walker ayenera kuti adalandira chidwi kwambiri m'manyuzipepala a US kuposa pulezidenti aliyense wa US. Pa masiku anayi osiyana, ndi New York Times adapereka tsamba lake lonse loyambira pazambiri zake. Mfundo yakuti anthu ambiri ku Central America amadziwa dzina lake ndipo palibe aliyense ku United States amene amadziwa ndi kusankha kopangidwa ndi maphunziro awo.
Palibe aliyense ku United States amene amadziwa kuti William Walker anali ndani si wofanana ndi aliyense ku United States yemwe akudziwa kuti ku Ukraine kunali chipwirikiti mu 2014. Komanso sizili ngati zaka 20 kuchokera pano aliyense atalephera kudziwa kuti Russiagate inali chinyengo. . Ndikanati ndifanane kwambiri ndi zaka za 20 kuyambira tsopano palibe amene akudziwa kuti panali nkhondo ya 2003 ku Iraq yomwe George W. Bush adanena zabodza zilizonse. Walker inali nkhani yayikulu yomwe idafufutidwa.
Walker adadzipezera yekha ulamuliro wa gulu lankhondo laku North America lomwe amalingaliridwa kuti likuthandiza m'modzi mwa magulu awiri omenyera nkhondo ku Nicaragua, koma akuchita zomwe Walker adasankha, zomwe zikuphatikizapo kulanda mzinda wa Granada, kuyang'anira dzikolo, ndikusankha yekha chisankho chachinyengo. . Walker anayamba ntchito yosamutsira umwini wa nthaka kwa gringos, kuyambitsa ukapolo, ndi kupanga Chingerezi kukhala chinenero chovomerezeka. Nyuzipepala kumwera kwa US analemba za Nicaragua ngati dziko la mtsogolo la US. Koma Walker adatha kupanga mdani wa Vanderbilt, ndikugwirizanitsa Central America kuposa kale lonse, kudutsa magawano andale ndi malire a mayiko, motsutsana naye. Boma la United States lokha ndi limene linanena kuti “sililowerera ndale.” Atagonjetsedwa, Walker analandiridwanso ku United States ngati ngwazi yogonjetsa. Anayesanso ku Honduras mu 1860 ndipo anamaliza kugwidwa ndi British, kutembenuzidwa ku Honduras, ndipo anawomberedwa ndi gulu lowombera. Asilikali ake adabwezeredwa ku United States komwe adalowa nawo gulu lankhondo la Confederate Army.
Walker anali atalalikira uthenga wankhondo. “Iwo ali oyendetsa galimoto,” iye anatero, “amene amalankhula za kukhazikitsa maunansi okhazikika pakati pa mtundu wa anthu oyera a ku Amereka, monga momwe uliri mu United States, ndi mtundu wosakanizika, wa Hispano-Indian, monga momwe uliri ku Mexico ndi Central America; popanda kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu." Masomphenya a Walker adakondedwa ndikukondweretsedwa ndi atolankhani aku US, osatchulapo chiwonetsero cha Broadway.
Ophunzira aku US samaphunzitsidwa kawirikawiri kuchuluka kwa ma imperialism aku US kumwera mpaka zaka za m'ma 1860 kunali kokhudza kukulitsa ukapolo, kapena kuchuluka kwa zomwe zidalepheretsedwa ndi tsankho la US lomwe silinkafuna anthu omwe si "azungu," osalankhula Chingerezi kulowa United. Mayiko.
José Martí analemba m’nyuzipepala ya ku Buenos Aires akudzudzula Chiphunzitso cha Monroe kukhala chachinyengo ndipo anaimba mlandu United States ponena za “ufulu . . . pofuna kulanda mayiko ena.”
Ngakhale kuli kofunikira kuti musakhulupirire kuti ufumu wa US unayamba mu 1898, momwe anthu ku United States ankaganizira za imperialism ya US inasintha mu 1898 ndi zaka zotsatira. Tsopano panali madzi ochuluka pakati pa dzikolo ndi madera ake ndi katundu wake. Panali anthu ochulukirapo omwe samawonedwa ngati "oyera" okhala pansi pa mbendera zaku US. Ndipo mwachiwonekere panalibenso chifukwa cholemekeza dziko lonse lapansi mwa kumvetsetsa dzina lakuti “America” kuti ligwiritsidwe ntchito ku mitundu yoposa imodzi. Mpaka pano, United States of America nthawi zambiri imatchedwa United States kapena Union. Tsopano idakhala Amereka. Chifukwa chake, ngati mumaganiza kuti dziko lanu laling'ono lili ku America, kulibwino muzisamala!
