Abstract

The article discusses the 1965 Dominican Crisis involving the US, USSR, and Cuba. The USSR condemned the US intervention in the Dominican Republic, leading to the largest mobilization of US troops in Latin America in the 20th century. The crisis stemmed from a civil war between constitutionalists and loyalists, with the US intervening to prevent a communist-influenced government. The crisis highlighted the clash between US and Latin American views on intervention, leading to a loss of US and OAS prestige and a radicalization of the communist left in the region. The Soviets used the crisis to challenge US hegemony and promote their image as upholders of international law. [Extracted from the article]
