The U.S. government supported right wing dictatorships in the developing world after World War II because right wing dictatorships opposed communism.

Hope this helps!

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.
