When Fidel Castro's Cuba split with the United States in 1961, it increasingly aligned itself with the Soviet Union. This shift was driven by Cuba's move towards communism and the US's opposition to Castro's regime, which included the Bay of Pigs invasion and economic sanctions. The alliance with the Soviet Union provided Cuba with military and economic support, culminating in the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, which heightened tensions between the US and the USSR. This partnership solidified Cuba's position as a key player in Cold War dynamics in the Western Hemisphere.
