Cuba and the USSR became natural allies due to their shared ideological commitment to communism and opposition to U.S. imperialism. After the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Fidel Castro sought support to consolidate his regime and counter U.S. influence in the region, leading to close ties with the Soviet Union. The USSR, in turn, viewed Cuba as a strategic foothold in the Western Hemisphere to spread communist ideology and counteract American dominance. This alliance was solidified during events like the Cuban Missile Crisis, highlighting their mutual interests in geopolitical power and security.
