Objective: To examine the impact of the Cold War on Latin America.

In 1959, Fidel Castro led a communist revolution in Cuba, causing thousands of Cubans to flee to the United States. Fidel Castro, 1950’s Fidel Castro, 2006

The Cuban Missile Crisis The Soviet Union began to build missile bases in Cuba, worrying Americans that we were vulnerable to attack.

· Pres. Kennedy announced that American warships would stop any Soviet ship carrying missiles.

"That Tuesday the first of thirteen days of decision unlike any other in the Kennedy years or, indeed, inasmuch as this was the first direct nuclear confrontation, unlike any other in the history of our planet." - Theodore Sorensen, aide to Pres. Kennedy

Upon approaching Cuba, the Soviets turned back. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove Soviet missiles from Cuba, and the U.S. agreed not to invade Cuba. He was the leader who ordered the nuclear missiles in Cuba

"I found myself in the difficult position of having to decide on a course of action which would answer the American threat but which would also avoid war. Any fool can start a war, and once he's done so, even the wisest of men are helpless to stop it-- especially if its a nuclear war.” - Nikita Khrushchev

Nuclear warhead stockpiles of the United States and the Soviet Union/Russia, 1945-2006. USSR surpassed the USA in warheads (1978) * Soviet Union and the U.S. competition with each other in weapon development. Both sides developed enough weapons to easily destroy the other.

Intervening in Latin America Many poor Latin Americans viewed communism as a solution to their problems. Therefore, the U.S. created several programs aimed at helping Latin America, and other third world nations.
