How did the Cold War affect Latin American? Why did the United States get
involved?
The Cold War affected Latin America by having to take sides between the
Americans and Soviets. America intervened in countries such as Cuba, Guatemala,
Nicaragua and Chile since they were communist and looked at as evil. The
countries the US were alliances with, the USSR would intervene with since they
were going against America in the Cold War. The Americans were involved since the
USSR were aiding these communist Latin American countries which the US did not
like.
What is the difference between left and right wing? And why is it confusing?
A left wing government is a bigger government and usually controls
businesses. In the extreme, it is what communism tries to do. Compared to right
wing government which is usually a smaller government that lets businesses do
their own thing. Left wing are known as liberals and right wing are considered
conservatives. It is confusing because neither are better than each other in certain
cases.
