HELP PLEASE! Answer the following questions with at least 3-5 sentences for each question.

1. Why were dictators able to take power in many Latin American nations throughout the 20th century? What problems led to their rise, and how did they try to address these problems?

2. How was Japan able to rebuild after World War Two? During the 1990s, what problems emerged from their economic success?

1. Dictators emerged so often because South America was going through the Cold War where two major powers tried to expand their influence to be bigger than the others. The Soviet Union helped support communist revolutions across south and Central America. The United States of America’s supplied these anti revolutionaries with weapons and manpower. America also installed dictators for the sake of their dominance
2. The Japanese government handled the economic crisis after WW2 really well. They achieved this by “stimulating private sector growth, first by instituting regulations and protectionism that effectively managed economic crises and later by concentrating on trade expansion”. Economic aid from the U.S to help Japan recover (to expand their influence) didn’t hurt.
