The US is also not behind every event in global politics, they are an empire but not omnipotent. However, we strongly condemn US Imperialism as most of it leads to loss of life and the underdevelopment of countries, condemning hundreds of millions to a life of poverty. A timeline of the actions taken by the United States Government in order to secure greater power and wealth at the expense of people, both its own and abroad. We include authoritarian regimes and dictatorships supported by the US, coups supported by the US, interference in elections, invasions, suppression of rebellions (domestic and abroad), bombing campaigns and support for terrorist or guerilla groups. Actions against piracy and retaliation against states that the declared war on the US are not included on this list, except in situations where the US used it for imperialist gains or lied to their population.
