"The United States stopped the spread of communist influence, but it sometimes destabilized the countries in the process."

Briefly: in Guatemala (1954) the CIA-backed coup ousted a reformist government and led to decades of violence; in Iran (1953) the coup restored the Shah and suppressed nationalist movements but helped provoke the 1979 revolution; in Lebanon U.S. interventions (1958 and later involvement) achieved short-term goals but did not produce lasting stability.
