Some of these questions are VERY badly written. 1. In the 1980s and 1990s, Latin America generally D) suffered from hyperinflation. This might not be the answer desired, but it is true. Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Mexico all had to remonetize between 1980 and 1995. 2. Which country had a civil war that lasted from 1960 to 1996? D) Guatemala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemalan_Civil_War 3. What was Che Guevara’s main goal in Cuba? B and C are both true. My guess is C) To establish a Marxist regime is the desired response. 4. The military dictatorships of Chile, Brazil, and Argentina all C) used torture and murder to silence opposition. 5. Which Latin American country experienced an inflation rate of 2,500% per year by 1990? At one thime or another. A,B,and C are all true. B) Brazil was the worst of the lot, but Peru wasn't far behind, and Mexico in 1982 and 1983 came very close. 6. Thirty thousand people disappeared from which country between 1976 and 1983? C) Argentina (Los Desparecidos) 7. What was true about U.S. foreign policy in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua? None of these answers fits all three cases. During the late 1980s, the Sandanista government in Nicaragua WAS communist for all practical purposes, eliminating D. The Iran - Contra affair eliminates B and C. A is the only response that even comes close. 8. Which of the following countries is ruled by a communist government? B) Cuba 9. Which of the following countries was ruled by a dictatorship? A) Cuba, although one could argue that Chile under Pinochet wasn't much better. 10. Which of the following countries had a GDP of more than $10,000 in 2004? All of them did. I suspect they meant per capita, but they sure didn't say that.
