The end result of the invasion left Cuba with large amounts of political capital, and 1,179 prisoners from the invasion for which to bargain with. Cuba did not want to keep the prisoners for the most part, and decided that they would bargain them off for tractors and other equipment used for farming .

The Cold War and fear of the spread of Communism led to the creation of films such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Psycho and Texas Chainsaw Massacre were both based on the crimes of Ed Gein. Some common themes in these films are paranoia, apocalyptic thinking,…

In Stephen Kinzer’s “Overthrow” he shows how the U.S. participated in various regime changes throughout the world, whether it was orchestrated by the U.S. or if they were helping an ally. The U.S. participated in various “overthrows” over the last hundred years because during these eras many American business were threatened, there was concern for other countries falling into communism and the U.S.…
