Retrospective consideration of US relations with Latin America during the 1960s has focused on the Alliance for Progress and the Cuban missile crisis. Few attempts have been made to understand the origins of the policy, much less to assess its impact on the hemisphere and inter-American relations. This is an error. This paper attempts to understand both episodes, and others that occurred during the decade, in the broad context and historical dynamics of inter-American relations. This context should include a consideration of the elements that led to the formulation of the Alliance for Progress and the global concerns of the North American government that shaped policy toward Latin America.
