GinnyAnswer · Answer

US interventions in the Middle East and Latin America were both influenced by the aim to stop the spread of communism, akin to Cold War strategies. While both regions were strategically significant, their interventions were shaped by broader geopolitical aims, leading to tensions with the USSR. Control of oil supplies was critical for the Middle East, but it was the overarching goal of combating communism that was a central theme in both cases. ;
