Cuba

Bolivia used to be a Spanish colony in the same way that the United States (or at least the relevant parts) used to be an English colony.

However, as many Bolivians are natives (indígenas), the native tongues of Quechua and Aymara hold sway in rural Bolivia.

The Bay of Pigs

Before the revolution in 1959 Cuba was a dictatorship. The entire nation was suppressed under the tight grip of the dictator Fulgencio Batista. There were no free elections, and the Cuban people were deprived of the basic human rights.

In around the 1960's relations between Russia and the Unite States began to get a little tense. Once the Russians began sending Cuba nuclear weapons which were within reach of most of America, America sent out to Cuba forcing them to give the weapons back to Russia.
