President Reagan believed the spread of Communism in Latin America was directly due to? A. guerrilla fighters. B. Contras. C. terrorists. D. leftists.

The Answer is D: leftists.

The correct answer is D) Leftists

Explanation:

President Reagan believed the spread of Communism in Latin America was directly due Leftists in those countries.

This usually included influential people who had left-wing view of the world including politicians and leaders but also teachers in universities, local studies and other intellectuals.

This meant that these people supported a socialist socio-economic system which supported the government's control over basic human needs such as schools and healthcare.

In most cases, this is in the hope of developing an egalitarian society where everyone is equal.

While this sounds like a noble cause, left-wing extremism results in communism and control of not just key government institutions, but control over the lives of people.
