The U.S. government supported right wing dictatorships in the developing world after World War II as supporting right-wing dictators enhanced American interests. The U.S was engaged in a Cold War with the Soviet Union. Supporting right wing dictators provided an opportunity for the U.S to avoid the countries from being influenced by communists.
