The Cuban Revolution of January 1959 brought about profound changes in the United States foreign policy towards Latin America.In order to combat communism, promote democracy and regional economic development, the United States launched the Alliance for Progress, an economic aid program that sought to invest up to $ 20 billion on the continent in a decade.However, contrary to the original proposal, scholars argue that the Alliance would have been used to interfere in Latin American domestic politics in favor of Washington's strategic interests.In the case of Brazil, the resources of the Alliance for Progress were used, among other things, to support politicians who opposed President João Goulart in an attempt to destabilize his government.The Northeastern region of Brazil and the State of Pernambuco, in particular, received special attention from the US government due to the political forces that disputed power in the region, the degree of regional socioeconomic underdevelopment, and the level of social unrest, considered alarming
