The correct answer is A. American interventions in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East led to decades of instability and poor leadership in those regions.

Explanation:

During the Cold War, many third world countries suffered due to the establishment of communist guerrillas in their territories. Countries like Granada or Panama had these problems, and these guerrillas were able to infiltrate the governments of their countries, threatening international political stability and constituting an imminent threat to the security of the United States.

With the objective of preventing the emergence of a new Cuba, the United States carried out interventions in the aforementioned countries, with the objective of restoring the democratic order and preventing the emergence of communism.

Although these interventions were positive, the truth is that in a large number of cases, after the interventions, the political panorama of the intervened countries was far from calm, but on the contrary, these countries were in poor economic and political conditions, whereupon many sectors of society saw the United States as the main culprit for their misadventures.
