U.S. Intervention & The Drug War is an online exhibit that examines the Mexican Drug War as a transnational historical process rather than a problem isolated to Mexico. Drawing on archival materials from the Freedom Archives, the project explores how U.S. drug policy, economic restructuring, migration, and militarization helped shape the conditions that produced the modern conflict. Through materials spanning the United States, Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, Colombia, and Bolivia, the exhibit challenges narratives that place responsibility solely on cartels and instead traces the broader systems that have influenced the Drug War and its consequences across the Americas.
