Abstract

After the overthrow of the pro-American president Fulgencio Batista, a regime of leftist Cuban movement under Fidel Castro tried to implement various economic and political reforms that made Cuba the first socialist i.e. communist country in the western hemisphere. Numerous guerilla movements tried to copy Cuban revolution strategy while the USA reaction to this event lead up to the biggest Cold War escalation. Long diplomatic isolation of Cuba in Latin America ceased when the Cold War ended. Only when the right military regimes were replaced by the democracies in the most of the neighboring states, Cuba was able to establish diplomatic and economic relations with these countries. Arrival of the Sandinista National Liberation Front to Managua on 19th July 1979 ended forty years long dictatorship of the Somoza family that was considered to be one of the most brutal dictatorships in Latin America. Unlike Cuban revolution, revolution led by FSLN and its commander Daniel Ortega lead to political pluralism, although durable dictatorship, natural disasters, civil war and longlasting economic isolation made Nicaragua the poorest country not only in Central America but within the western hemisphere.
