US pressure isn’t the cause, quite the opposite, they overthrew a number of legitimate democracies in favour of dictatorships that aligned with their interests.

They overthrew (all democratically elected) Perón in Argentina, Banzer in Bolivia, Allende in Chile and Arbenz in Guatemala, among many many others, and replaced all of them with US friendly brutal dictatorships.

Actually the US overthrew democracies, see Guatemala in 1954, Operation Condor, multiple interventions in Haiti (and sponsoring Papa Doc's regime), the Big Stick policy, and these are just the most obvious examples.
