Both received a catholic education and had strong connections to the Galicia region of Spain. Both were familiar with guerrilla tactics and came to power through fighting civil wars. However, Franco had support from fascists, who fought a vicious campaign against communist guerrillas, whereas Cuba was strategically aligned with the USSR after the Revolution. The two countries nevertheless maintained strong relations, notably keeping a formal diplomatic relationship after the 1959 Cuban Revolution despite the US's severing of ties to Cuba. This relationship, Hosoda argues, would remain a vital back channel for communication between Cuba and the West. Using a mixture of primary and secondary sources, derived from the Cuban, American and Spanish archives, Hosoda analyses the nature and wider role of diplomatic relations between Cuba and Spain during the Cold War. Addressing both the question of how this relationship was forged--whether through the personal strange 'amity' of their leaders, mutual animosity towards the US, or the alignment of national interests--and the importance of the role that it played. Considering also the role of the Vatican, this book offers a fascinating insight into a rarely studied aspect of the Cold War, one which transcends the usual East-West binaries"-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Castro, Fidel, |d1926-2016 |xPolitical and social views. 600 10 Franco, Francisco, |d1892-1975 |xPolitical and social views. 600 17 Castro, Fidel, |d1926-2016. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00052772 600 17 Franco, Francisco, |d1892-1975. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00034040 611 27 Cold War (1945-1989) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01754978 650 0 Cold War |xDiplomatic history. 650 7 Diplomacy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00894188 650 7 Diplomatic relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 Political and social views. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353986 651 0 Cuba |xForeign relations |zSpain. 651 0 Spain |xForeign relations |zCuba. 651 7 Cuba. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01205805 651 7 Spain. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204303 830 0 Routledge studies in modern history 852 0 |bf |hF1776.3.S7 |iH67 2019 902 yj |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20190903 904 yj |ba |hm |cb |e20190903 914 (OCoLC)on1084365779 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240710 |eprocessed |f1084365779
