The Influence of the Cuban Revolution on the US Approach to the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua
Kaluha, Adam ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (referee)
This thesis examines US foreign policy towards Latin American countries during the Cold War. The purpose of this thesis is to determine if the Cuban Revolution influenced the United States' foreign policy stance towards the revolution in Nicaragua. In order to do this, the thesis uses mostly analysis of U.S. State Department documents published in the Foreign Relations of the United States book series combined with scholarly literature and articles. The thesis is divided into three main parts. In the first part, I examine U.S. foreign policy toward Latin American countries after World War II until the revolution in Cuba. The second part examines the US attitude towards the Cuban Revolution and the third part examines the US attitude towards the Sandinista Revolution. I then bring all the information together in the conclusion of the thesis and find that the Cuban Revolution had a significant impact on U.S. foreign policy in relation to the revolution in Nicaragua, as the fear of a repeat of the Cuban scenario forced the U.S. to become more actively involved in Nicaragua than during the Cuban Revolution.

This thesis analyses the final stage of the British reign in British India. It follows up the period since the end of the Second World War to the creation of the two dominions, whereas it deals also with the era before 1945. This thesis aims to analyse gradual change of opinion in Britain on India. There had been apparent shift of thinking in London from the fully dependence of India on the mother country to the withdrawal from this colony. Britain had to decide who to pass on the power in the country. The vision of the united state came down with the British determination to devolve the area not to one but to two political groups. As a result, two successor states were born in the half of august 1947 - India and Pakistan. Decision to divide the country, determination of strict boundaries and consequences of the division of the subcontinent had far-reaching importance. Nowadays this is very sensitive issue on the both sides of the boundary. Key words: Great Britain, India, 1945-1947, Decolonisation, Partition of India, British Raj, Independence Movement
