Examine the impact of the Cold War on the foreign policy of either Canada or one Latin American country.

The question requires that candidates consider the interrelationship between the Cold War and the foreign policy of either Canada or one Latin American country. The response does not have to include the entire timeframe of the Cold War and is more likely to focus on particular events relevant to the country chosen. During the Cold War, Canada was closely aligned with the United States and thus was involved in several projects and organizations such as NATO and NORAD. However, Canada did not always agree with the US and openly expressed differences regarding Cuba and Vietnam. Any Latin American country is acceptable, but most will probably focus on Cuba and Castro’s revolution. Candidates may refer to Castro’s rejection of US interference, his closer ties with the Soviet Union, and eventually his leadership in the Non-Aligned Movement. Whichever country is chosen, candidates must examine the impact of the Cold War on foreign policy.
