In Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Rogers discovered that the very organization he worked for had been infiltrated and SHIELD was revealed to have been run by HYDRA for a long time.

Lying about Bucky’s role in the death of Howard and Maria Stark
The differing stance of Captain America and Iron Man on the Sokovia Accords was the main conflict in the film, but it was not the ultimate cause of their fight. Instead, it was Rogers’ decision to lie about Bucky’s role in the death of Stark’s parents that spelled the break for the Avengers because it made the issue personal between Captain America and Iron Man.
Refusing to sacrifice Vision in Avengers: Infinity War
One of the reasons the Avengers lost to Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War it was because of Captain America’s decision to refuse to sacrifice Vision in order to prevent the Mad Titan from acquiring the Mind Stone, effectively sabotaging the villain’s entire plan.
If Rogers had made the difficult decision to give up Vision, then not only would the purple alien’s annihilation not have come to fruition, but it would also have spared Wanda Maximoff the pain of watching her beloved die, twice.
Casting Sam Wilson as the new Captain America
After the fight against Thanos ended, the Avengers still had one final mission: return all the Infinity Stones collected during the time steal to their respective timelines. Rogers, alone, was chosen for the task.
When he returned as an elderly Steve Rogers, it was only to personally present Captain America’s shield to Sam Wilson as his successor.
