it was the united states of america until 1956 when fidel castro made an alliance with the U.S.S.R. (soviet union[russia])

fidel Castro
the alliance between the chinese and the soviet union
It was Fidel Castro!
I don't think you could call Khrushchev and Castro friends. More like allies with a common enemy. Khrushchev would have been the superior of the two as the leader of the Soviet Union and I think he would have looked upon Castro as a leader of a Soviet satellite nation. Castro hadn't been the leader of Cuba for very long when he forged his alliance with Khrushchev. Having Khrushchev as an ally would have given him some much needed power on the world stage and protected his position in Cuba. For Khrushchev 's part Cuba gave him a foothold off the coast of the United States which he would have considered valuable for the Soviet purposes.
The Warsaw Pact was the military alliance formed to counter Soviet expansion.
Castro's alliance with the Soviet Union caused the United States to view the country as a threat. When Russian missile silos were constructed there in the early sixties, the United States came close to war with Russia. The standoff that resulted is known as the Bay of Pigs.
