Whom did the Reagan administration seek to support in Latin America?

The Reagan administration sought to support anti-communist governments and rebel groups in Latin America during the Cold War. This included backing regimes in countries like El Salvador and Guatemala, as well as supporting the Contras in Nicaragua, who were fighting the Sandinista government. The administration aimed to curb the influence of leftist movements and promote U.S. interests in the region. This policy was often justified under the broader strategy of containing communism.
