Big sister policy

Big sister policy

The Big sister policy was a U.S. policy formulated by James G. Blaine in the 1880s and aimed to rally the Latin American nations behind the United States' leadership and to open Latin America markets to U.S. traders. Blaine served as Secretary of State in 1881 in the cabinet of President James Garfield and again from 1889 to 1892 in the cabinet of President Benjamin Harrison. As part of the policy, Blaine arranged for and lead as the first president the First International Conference of American States in 1889.
