(NN/GP: less American military involvement in Latin America)
The purpose of this policy was to improve the relationship between the USA and Latin America. It was, first and foremost, Franklin Roosevelt's renouncement of military intervention by the United States into Latin American countries. It was implemented by his Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, unilaterally, bilaterally in particular countries, and regionally through the Organization of American States (OAS). There were several aspects, including withdrawal of US Marines from Haiti, US Congress nullifying the Platt Amendment in Cuba, restraint and negotiation when Mexico appropriated US citizen property, and lowering US tariffs to increase Latin American trade. In a world history context, the European powers had bankrupted themselves in World War I, making the Theodore "Roosevelt Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine irrelevant. The US no longer had to administer Latin American nations and assume European loans to keep European countries from colonizing in the Americas as they had in Egypt, for instance. Also, Franklin Roosevelt may have been looking forward to a possible conflict with Germany in WWII. The US may have wanted to secure the Americas from German intervention to preclude a variation of the German "Zimmermann Note" to Mexico, which guaranteed re-conquered territory taken from the US.
The Good Neighbor policy changed American's views of Latin-Americans as the policy sought to be respectful of Latin American countries. The Good Neighbor policy led to the US pulling its troops out of a number of Latin American countries.
