Answer 1

Sometimes economic instability in Latin America led to the rise of military dictatorships because people were desperate for stability and strong leadership. In times of economic crisis, people may be more willing to support authoritarian regimes that promise to bring order and prosperity. Military dictators often presented themselves as saviors who could solve the economic problems facing the country, leading to their rise to power. Additionally, military dictatorships were often seen as better equipped to handle economic issues and implement reforms, even if it meant sacrificing civil liberties and democracy in the process.
