Abstract	With the improvement of U.S.-Soviet relations in recent years, there is much reason to take a fresh look at U.S. foreign policy. This unit provides secondary students with an opportunity to examine U.S. policy toward the Caribbean and Central America. Composed of four chapters, the first chapter examines the economic and military concerns that linked the history of the Caribbean and Central America to the United States. Chapter 2 explains how differences with Cuba became entangled with the larger U.S.-Soviet confrontation in the early 1960s and focuses upon the Cuban Missile Crisis. The third chapter examines the last three decades of U.S.-Soviet-Cuban relations. Finally, the unit concludes with a chapter on the future of U.S. policy toward the Caribbean and Central America. In this section, students are asked to reflect on what they learned and to choose one of three options for the future course of U.S. foreign relations toward the region. (DB)
