Answer: Roosevelt aimed friendly policy with Latin America (so he wanted to improve bad reputation of USA in Latin America that was result of Theodor Roosevelt´s policy and American imperialism of previous period). Franklin Delano Roosevelt did not want fascism and nazism to expand from Europe to Latin America. He needed collaboration and mutual confidence. That is why he negotiated with Brazilian president Vargas.....Americans installed air force basis in the Brazilian northeast (nearest to African coast).
Explanation: Brazil became the closes ally for USA. Brazil supported USA in both world wars (in Brazil it is called "alignment foreign policy"). After the war Brazil expected a financial support (something like Marshall Plan in Europe), but in vain. That is the reason why sometimes relations between USA and Brazil are considered "relations of unmet expectations".
