Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.91 Latin America in the Cold War and Contemporary Era skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Source set: A peasant petition demands land, a military statement promises order, a U.S. memo warns about communism, and a student manifesto calls for democracy. Which interpretation best synthesizes Latin America in the Cold War and contemporary era?

ALatin America's history after 1945 can be explained only by geography.

BThe Cold War erased all local political and social causes.

CSocial movements played no role once foreign governments became involved.

DLocal inequality, authoritarian rule, foreign intervention, economic dependency, and social movements interacted to shape the region's history.

Solution & Explanation:The strongest synthesis reflects the skill: source interpretations should connect local social conflicts, authoritarianism, intervention, dependency, democratization, and movements rather than isolating one factor.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Source summary: Declassified security files list suspected activists, union organizers, teachers, and priests as targets of death squads during a civil war. Which interpretation best explains the evidence?

AThe files show that only uniformed soldiers were ever affected by conflict.

BThe evidence proves that teachers and priests led every armed group.

CState-linked terror targeted perceived opponents and civilians under the language of security.

DThe strongest interpretation is that civil wars never involve civilians.

Solution & Explanation:The files point to a pattern of repression in which broad categories of civilians could be treated as enemies because of suspected political sympathies.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Source pair: A 1970s U.S. memo stresses anticommunist alliances with Latin American military regimes. A later human rights memo criticizes disappearances and torture by allied governments. Which interpretation best explains the shift?

AThe two memos prove that U.S. policy was identical in every decade.

BU.S. policy could shift between containment priorities and human rights pressure depending on context and leadership.

CHuman rights concerns had no connection to Latin American dictatorships.

DThe shift was mainly about ending all diplomatic contact with the hemisphere.

Solution & Explanation:The sources show changing emphasis. Anticommunism remained influential, but human rights became a stronger diplomatic concern in some periods.
