What was the effects of us threats to intervene in a border dispute between British Guiana and Venezuela?

The United States' threats to intervene in a border dispute between British Guiana and Venezuela in the 1890s had several effects:

Increased Tensions: The threats led to heightened tensions between the United States and Venezuela, strained diplomatic relations, and brought the two nations to the brink of war.

Arbitration: In 1899, due to ongoing tensions and the possibility of conflict, the United States helped facilitate an arbitration process to settle the dispute. The arbitration resulted in the 1899 Paris Award, which largely favored Venezuela and established the current boundary between Venezuela and Guyana.

Latin American Solidarity: The US threats triggered a sense of solidarity among Latin American countries, who viewed it as an attempt by the United States to exert its dominance in the region. This resulted in increased support for Venezuela from other Latin American nations.

Enhanced US Role in the Region: The dispute strengthened the United States' position in the Western Hemisphere and solidified its role as a regional power.

Temporary Resolution: The arbitration process and subsequent ruling brought temporary resolution to the border dispute. However, the issue remained contentious, and Venezuela would continue to challenge the validity of the award in later years.

Future Relations: The dispute affected US-Latin American relations for decades and created a sense of distrust and resentment toward the United States in the region.

Great Power Politics: The involvement of the United States in the dispute demonstrated its willingness to engage in great power politics and assert its influence in international affairs.
