Question

Which of the following best describes the conditions in much of Latin America, including Ecuador and El Salvador, during the 20th century?

Answer 1

D.)During the 20th century much of Latin America suffered from political instability, war between factions, and extreme poverty.

Step-by-step explanation:

While some Latin American countries progressed more than others during the 20th century (for example Chile and Uruguay), most of the region continued to be relatively poor compared with the rest of the world.

This lack of economic development has many causes, and one of these causes was political instability and war between factions. In the case of El Salvador, a deadly civil war that killed hundreds of thousands in small country left the nation in a very precarious condition.

In the case of Ecuador, political instability was a greater problem, with frequent military coups and presidents who were unable to end their mandates.
