Describe three problems that have been encountered in establishing stable governments in Latin America. Why have many Latin American states faced government takeovers, coups, and revolutions?

Answer:

Three problems were extreme economic inequality, lack of democratic traditions, and frequent military interventions. Many states faced coups and revolutions because dictators or military leaders seized power when civilian governments failed to address poverty and corruption, or when foreign powers (like the U.S.) supported regime changes to protect their interests.
