After the United States imposed an embargo on Cuba in 1960, Fidel Castro sought assistance from the Soviet Union. He aimed to strengthen Cuba's economy and military capabilities in response to the isolation and economic difficulties caused by the embargo. This alliance not only provided Cuba with economic aid but also led to the establishment of a strategic partnership that contributed to the Cold War tensions.
