Imagery:
A towering Uncle Sam, with "Monroe Doctrine" emblazoned across his chest, stands at the center of a map of South America. He is holding a large umbrella labeled "Protection" over a group of small, newly freed figures representing South American republics (each wearing sashes with country names like "Colombia," "Chile," and "Argentina"). The South American figures appear uneasy, glancing at Uncle Sam with suspicion.
In the background, dark storm clouds labeled "European Empires" loom, with lightning bolts shaped like swords and cannons. However, the shadow of Uncle Sam’s umbrella extends far beyond the republics, covering the entire continent, including areas they haven’t invited him to.
