What are the parallels between American foreign policy during the early 20th century in Latin America and the late 20th century in Asia?

Why have nuclear weapons not been used in conflict since 1945? Nuclear weapons have only ever been used once in human history, and that was during World War II when The United States deployed missiles on Japanese territory, in Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

By now, most Americans should be familiar with our history with Vietnam and the war we had with them almost six decades ago.
