What did Nikita Khrushchev do after he became friends with 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.
