Reasons for Cuban Missile deployment:1.Issues of Bay of Pigs invasion:Cuba being only communist nation in Caribbean,was under constant threat of USA invasion as highlighted in Bay of Pigs incident.Deployment of missiles by USSR would have granted a deterrence against US hostilities.2.Gaining strategic Military base by USSR :while USA had deployed its ICBM missiles in Italy and Turkey under close target to Moscow , USSR had no such close missile deployment excluding Sakhalin which had access to only two US states.3.USSR desire of controlling whole Germany :

With this strategic military advantage USSR thought of getting upper hand in negotiating control of Germany.4.Lack of long range ICBMs to USSR and issue of accuracy of missile targets further increased need for missile base close to US territory ,which Cuba provide answer.

With these reasons USSR covertly deployed Nuclear missiles in Cuba.After initial pretention of USSR ,the whole incident came to knowledge of USA when its Spy aircrafts captured images of the same.It led to panic situation in USA .It was direct threat at the neighborhood of USA and contrary Monroe Doctrine of hegemony in Caribbean .USA announced that it would stop any nuclear war head moving towards Cuba and will destroy the same.After series of negotiations both sides decided to ease out tensions. However USA remained skeptic of Cuba.

Recent developments of thawing ties between both countries will have good impact on Economic and Political scenario in the region as:

1.Cuba being traditionally agriculture based country and good market has potential of providing opportunity for business faculty of both countries2.With Cuban politics moving away from traditional communism to democratic socialism ,it will forge strong alliance between both countries .3.With Cuba being member in various Economic and Political blocks in Caribbean and South America and reducing USA hegemony in the region ,it is in best interest of both countries to move away from old hostilities.4.Strong presence of immigrants in some USA states ,is further pushing for better ties.

Fscism

There is a continuum starting from a sense of identity and togetherness as a nation which in some cases culminates into fascism, the stages being:

ethnicity->shared identity-> nationalism -> extreme nationalism -> fascism

Though various countries may undergo this process in the unique ecosystem of their socio-politcal and economical environment but there have been enough instances across history to exemplify that right from the inception of the westphalian notion of statehood and national sovereignity, there have been some common threads which can be traced in all countries undergoing the phase of extreme nationalism of fascist variety. some of the most prominent being:1. creation of an exclusivist idea of nationhoodthis is not accomodative of heterogentiy, be it the nazis or the fascist regimes of modern times2. intolerance and resorting to violence for suppression of dissentgenocide is the ultimate culmination of this aspect of extreme nationalism/fascism.3. charismatic leadershipfrom hitler to mussolini and mao to stalin, there are leaders who energise the masses and make them belive their superiority over "others" and create notions to feed extreme nationalism.4. youth and its role in fascist movements and regime is a very peculiar and significant one and has been frequently emphasised in various studies. the leaders too appeal to tap the energy of the youth and shape the movement giving it an ideological as well as action aspect: a romantic idealism that does not shy away from killing.

However, this being said, we cannot ignore the uniqueness of each country and the socio economic and political realities which finally shape these movements in a unique manner. the economic condition and resources at disposal, the internal stability of the state, the international clout of leader, type of political system, functioning of non state actors are among various other factors that would ultimately decide the final form in which extreme nationalism would manifest itself.
