What are your go to events for shocking people into learning about US imperialism in South America?

The overthrow/killing of Salvador Allende is the strongest in my opinion. What else would you pick?

I would say Halls Of Montezuma, but it's so far back that it's easily handwaved.

I was actually thinking of all the stuff the US has done in South America earlier today, and it's funny how Western media presents China as pressuring its neighbors when amerikkka couldn't even let fucking Nicaragua be in peace, and we know how friendly they are to other countries in their vicinity like Cuba too projection
