The Cold War had a significant impact on Latin America, as the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in proxy wars and supported opposing factions in the region. This led to political instability, increased militarization, and human rights abuses in many Latin American countries. Additionally, U.S. interventions in the region during this time often prioritized anti-communist agendas over democracy and human rights.
Constant interventionism by the United States on Latin America's internal affairs. Some examples include the military coup d'etat against Chilean president Salvador Allende or the Nicaraguan Contra guerrillas, both of them sponsored by the US government.
The proliferation of nuclear weapons and the arms race dynamics developed during the Cold War continued to shape global politics post-Soviet Union. The legacy of proxy wars and conflicts fueled by Cold War rivalries also persisted, influencing regional dynamics in various parts of the world. Additionally, the establishment of alliances and strategic partnerships formed during the Cold War continued to impact international relations in the post-Cold War era.
American politicians supported corrupt regimes in Latin America during the Cold War as part of their strategy to prevent the spread of communism in the region. They saw these regimes as bulwarks against leftist movements, even if they were authoritarian and engaged in corrupt practices. Additionally, there were economic interests and geopolitical considerations that influenced their support for these regimes.
Some countries that transitioned to democracy after the Cold War include Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). These countries were formerly under Soviet influence but eventually embraced democratic principles and institutions.
The Cold War in the Middle East was very complex. On the one hand, there was Israel, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the Emirates on the side of the US. On the other hand, there was Syria and Afghanistan as part of the Soviet blocks. This was essential in order for the Cold War to perservere: each side had its own allies.
