Add to this one another map of past CIA-backed coups and despair.

Honestly that's something I never learned about until I was like, 23, 24. Still know bugger all about it and that's fucked. Do you know any good resources where I can learn about this stuff?

There's a Wikipedia article on US interventions but it misses some afaik.

You could start by reading about the School of the Americas, Operation Condor and Operation Gladio. See how the USA treats its "friends".

Read about cointelpro and see how it treats its citizens. Some tactics are still in use today.

Wilson, and to a lesser extent Monroe are the presidents that caused those, with Wilsonian Military Doctrine, and The Monroe Doctrine, specifically so perhaps start there.

This is a good summary of all the horrible shit Wilson did, and how the world might have changed if he hadn't been president

For a fun and light read I'd start with Wikipedia entry on the attempts on the life of Fidel Castro.

For chronological read I'd start with Iran then Latin America, Wikipedia as well. Don't skip the chapter where they associated themselves with drug lords that sent drugs to US as a way to finance anti communist operations in Central America. I think that was Nicaragua.
