The posture of the United States and Cuba must be brought
Into the equation here. Like all revolutionaries(including the
American patriots who attempted to “free” Canada from
England’s rule after 1776),the cubans were convinced that
Their triumph had international implications. There is little
Doubt that Cuba offered moral support,some training,and
At least until 1965 arms to revolutionary movements,but
There is also little doubt that the United states exaggerated
The influence of Cuba and the Union of Soviet Socialist
Repiblics At times even inventing it to justify intervention
And repression of leftist political movement,democratic or not.
