US Imperialism in Latin America Latin America's residence close to the United States made the improvement of relations between the two countries imperative during the beginning of the 20th century.

Morey (1901) tells us that Carthage “early acquired dominion over the native races of Africa, the Lydians and the Numidians.” who were native to the region. Forcing many into slavery, the city began to grow. The power and wealth they achieved arose from the vast trading empire they established, trading goods across the known lands spices from the near east, tin from Britain and a number of other commodities. This trade was mainly conducted at sea, so they created a navy unrivalled at the time, one more sophisticated than any other.
