Abstract

Ovaj rad se bavi vanjskopolitičkim odnosima Kube sa Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama i i Sovjetskim Savezom, kasnije Rusijom. S jedne strane imamo Sjedinjene Američke Države koje su nad Kubom izgubile dominaciju te ju ponovo žele uspostaviti, a s druge strane je Sovjetski Savez koja je ušlo u savezništvo s Kubom nakon ekonomskog embarga od strane SAD-a. Sjedinjene Američke Države su na sve načine pokušavale srušiti Castra sa vlasti no nikad uspješno. Rusija je postala glavni ekonomski i humanitarni saveznik Kubi, te se Castro na taj način održao na vlasti. Čak i nakon raspada Sovjetskog Saveza, kada su se Sjedinjene Američke Države nadale da će režim propasti, to se nije desilo. Kuba je i dalje bila socijalistička država. Dolaskom novog stoljeća i Castrovom predajom vlasti, došlo je do promjene situacije. Nazire se zatopljenje odnosa sa Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama za što se smatralo da je nemoguće nakon gotovo pola stoljeća konfrontacije.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with foreign-policy relations between Cuba and the United States of America and Soviet Union, later Russia. On the one hand, we have the United States of America that lost control over Cuba and wanted to establish it again, and on the other hand Soviet Union, which entered the alliance with Cuba after the US economic embargo. The United States of America have tried in all ways to demolish Castro from power but never succeeded. Soviet Union became the main economic and humanitarian ally of Cuba, and Castro was thus held in power. Even after the fall of the Soviet Union, when the United States of America hoped that the regime would collapse, that did not happen. Cuba was still a socialist state. With the coming of the new century and Castro's surrender of authority, there was a change of situation. There are signs of improving the relationship with the United States of America that was considered impossible after nearly half a century of confrontation.
