I do not know what types of imperialism you are supposed
to be thinking about, but I think that you could argue that there have been at least 3
kinds of imperialism that have affected Latin
America.
There has been regular imperialism, the kind where
one country actually directly controls another. The US still owns Puerto Rico and has
at times occupied such places as Nicaragua and the Dominican
Republic.
There has been economic imperialism. An example
of this (some people argue) can be seen in how the US has used Mexico as a source of
cheap labor and raw materials.
Finally, you can argue that
the US has practiced cultural imperialism with its movies, music, food, and
sports.
