On January 7th, 1959, the United States government recognized a new provisional government in Cuba, six days after the rebel leader, Fidel Castro, had successfully overthrown the pro-American dictator previously in power.
US Secretary of Sate John Foster Dulles, against the warnings of American Ambassador to Cuba, Earl Smith, advised President Dwight Eisenhower to recognize the new government, believing that they were “free from Communist taint,” and interested in “friendly relations with the United States."
Less than a month later, Castro was sworn in as the Premier, and by January 1961 the US had severed diplomatic relations with Cuba. In April 1961, the US promoted the Failblog-worthy Bay of Pigs invasion.
Dulles had a long and distinguished career as an excellent judge of character. Until 1935 he was an ardent supporter of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party, using the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, of which he was a partner, to continue a mutually profitable relationship. Dulles later advised San Diego Chargers’ owner Alex Spanos that drafting Ryan Leaf would be a wise decision, and in 1996 was credited as an artistic collaborator on the short-lived TV series, “Homeboys from Outerspace.”
