Could the U.S. have done a limitied Marshall Plan-type program to aid Latin America in order to get their help for WWII? As for Brazil, here's more info:

The thing was, the Marshall Plan was for Europe for two reasons. 1) The site of most of the fighting. For obvious reasons, French industry got fucked over a lot more than Bolivian industry. 2) Containment of the Soviet Union. If the US hadn't sent aid to those countries, Russia would've. Stalin would've loved it if he could've sent over the Red Army into Greece or Turkey to "help" the locals rebuild their nation. There's not going to be that same sort of risk in Latin America.
