I think I understand what you're getting at (why weren't there any big regional, all-in, industrial total wars like Europe, Asia, and even Africa had with the Congo Wars), and there are a few answers: US sabotage of Latin American countries before they can get too stable to challenge Washington (or each other), geography (rough terrain to move troops through and large distances between things), and a lower and less dense population than Afro-Eurasia. There aren't particularly strong racial or religious divides aside from the Anglospheric and Latin American parts and stronger diplomatic channels. There were some pretty nasty regional wars in the nineteenth century like the Paraguayan War, and Brazil and Argentina were doing pretty well with industrialization around the turn of the century, but that was before the US emerged as a great power.
