Answer 1

Economic instability in Latin America created conditions of poverty, inequality, and social unrest, which in turn led to political instability. Military dictatorships often promised economic growth and stability in exchange for power, exploiting the people's desire for stability. These dictatorships implemented economic reforms that were often authoritarian in nature, stifling civil liberties and human rights in the name of economic progress. This dynamic of economic instability and authoritarian governance created a fertile ground for military dictatorships to rise to power in Latin America.
