Plausibility of Venezuela falling into the German or British sphere

During the early 20th century, Venezuela had a series of border disputes and debt issues with many European governments, notably Germany, the UK, Italy and the Netherlands. I want to ask if you guys think it's possible that one of this crises could lead to heavy European influence on the country, and how would the US react, if at all
You should also take into account that at the time the British were very influential in the southern cone, so the Monroe doctrine wasn't really enforced in South America
