Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Reagan administration was seriously concerned about left-wing guerrilla movements in El Salvador backed by Communist states such as Cuba and Nicaragua. The administration feared that if these movements succeeded in taking over the country, it would lead to the spread of Communist influence in the region (a new "domino" theory). This concern led to the US providing military and economic aid to the Salvadoran government, as well as supporting anti-guerrilla forces.
