The Soviet Union was helping by offering technical assistance and military assistance but this was mostly to Egypt and India. But many other nations also needed help these nations were very important in the making of the Cold War competition. That was against the Soviet Union and United States and later on China. But not all of the Third World nations wanted to have anything to do with the Cold War. India wanted to be neutral and Indonesia tried to stay uninvolved. They gathered a meeting with leaders from Africa and Asia at the Bandung Conference.

Section 4 Question 7
The similarities I see between Cuba, Iran and Nicaragua is that they supported anti-Communist forces.
Fulgencio was the ruler of Cuba, he was not very popular, but he did support the United States. A Cuban resentment overthrew Batista in 1959. Fidel led that revolution many people did praise Fidel for this. Yet he was a very harsh leader he didn't allow elections, he killed or put in jail people that didn't agree with him, and was very controlling of the press. As United States supported Bastia in Cuba it also supported Anastasio of Nicaraguan. The Soviet Union in the United States both gave supplies to Sandinistas and Daniel their leader. Sandinistas gave supplies and people to Marxist rebels in El Salvador. In order to help the El Salvador he and government fight off the rebels U.S. gave support to Nicaraguan anti-Communist called Contras. Iran's leader Shan Mohammed praised Western governments and the wealthy Western oil companies. Iranian Nationalist and reunited under the Prime Minister Muhammed Mossadeq and resent there foreign alliances. They nationalized oil company and forced the shah to go away. They feared that Iran might look to the Soviets for support. United States took action and help the shah regain
power. Section 4 Question 8
The United States helping the shah westernized the country the capital Tehran became a lot more modern. This includes skyscrapers, different modern factories, and foreign banks even with these few nice things there was still millions of Iranians in poverty. Shah tried to stop the The political intake of Iran's Muslim leaders. They are also called ayatollahs they don't like Western influences. Iranian started riots and made the shah flee. The leader of this is Ayatollah, when the shah fled he came in and made a Islamic state. Ayatollah hated the U.S. for supporting shah. Ayatollah supported Islamic revolutionaries get that U.S. embassy in Tehran. They took at least 60 Americans hostage and wanted to have the shah on trial. Ayatollah also supported other Muslim radicals to take over governments. He intended for this to unify them up Muslims. Doing this he made the relationship between Iran and it's neighbor and Iraq bad. The leader that was governing Iraq is Saddam. Not long after a war broke out between Iran and Iraq. Strangely United States was helping both sides trying to keep a balance in power. The Soviet Union was not they were just helping Iraq. Lots of Iranians and Iraqis lost there lives in the war even before the fire happened in 1988.
