When the Soviet Union fell in 1991, Cuba lost its most powerful ally. The Soviet Union helped the small Island a large amount in an economic fashion and gave Cuba a safety blanket against the US. After 1991, the affect of communism on the Western Hemisphere severly lessened and Cuba is considered a considerably smaller threat now.
