What happens to Latin America in Southern Independence

In a few CSA timelines, I always read that if USA lost the war with the CSA, that they don’t care about the Monroe Doctrine and that the Europeans and even the CSA influences, or down-right recolonize Latin American Countries.

And that gets me thinking. What would happen if the USA and the British gave up on the Monroe Doctrine if the South won the war?

Would the CSA start to filibuster its way across Latin America?
Would the CSA filibusters cause a Scramble for Latin America, to puppet or recolonize certain countries?
Would France, CSA, Spain, Britain, Portugal, and maybe a few new players like Germany, Italy, Japan, Belgium, ETC would try to puppet or recolonize Latin America?
Which countries would be the best suited to survive this reconquest
 
The South ain't gonna have the resources to do it, also considering the desert between it a Mexico and the fact that it will have to invade the other Latin American countries with its non-existent navy. It won't be colonizing for a while.

What about other European countries? Would they try to puppet or annex some countries?

Asia and Africa are far more attractive and less capable of providing meaningful resistance. Far more likely they just commerically dominate local tin-pots to establish client regeimes where they'd enjoy commerical supremacy, expanding the "informal empire" that's actually profitable.

This.
The UK, France and Spain were willing to use soft political power, economics and if that failed a little gunboat diplomacy to get their way.

It is worth remembering, though, that the UK, by and large, supported the Monroe Doctrine from the 1820s onward. They didn't want France or other European countries meddling in the affairs of Latin America. They were doing just fine exploiting Latin America via trade and they didn't want other countries mucking up a good thing.
