Answer 1

Interventions resulted in decades of instability and poor leadership in those regions.

Explanation: U.S. Cold War interventions often supported coups, authoritarian anti-Communist leaders, and proxy conflicts (e.g., Iran 1953, Guatemala 1954, Chile 1973, support for dictators in Latin America and Africa), which frequently produced long-term instability and repressive governments.
