How did the Cold War Affect Latin America? Why did
the U.S. get involved?
Essentially the Latin American countries were faced with a decision to pick a side. The
big question that faced the decision was Is your country a communist country? If you
were communist you had the powerful Soviets backing your country. If you weren't
communist you had the Americans brute force behind you. The U.S.s involvement was
a matter of trying to end communism based on the belief that communism was evil.
