Victor really, really despised the Yanks.
He didn't know why, but there was something about these people that made him feel nauseous and repulsive.
"Governor, Mr. Field Whitney is dying." The Brazilian representative, Enrique, said shakily beside him, his eyes widened in horror at the sight of the blood-covered Yank.
Latin America was a breeding ground for tyrants!
Such as Mexico's iron-fisted tyrants: Porfirio Díaz Mori, General Victoriano Huerta.
Manuel Estrada Cabrera of Guatemala.
General Maximiano Hernandez Martinez of Salvador, who believed in witchcraft and had no strategy for governance.
And the Somoza family, which ruled Nicaragua for over 40 years, the lapdogs and minions of the United States.
Such authoritarian figures were numerous, most of whom came to power through military coups.
Thus, there's a saying: The magical and mythical Latin American flair.
Many people didn't like the United States very much.
