Cold War in South Florida
The National Park Service of the US Department of the Interior published in 2004 an Historic Resource Study on the Cold War in South Florida providing a brief overview of activities in the region associated with Cuba and other Latin American countries:
South Florida was the location of many important events during the Cold War period 1945- 1989. The region’s proximity to Latin America made it an operational center for both covert and overt activities as the United States pursued its policy of containing communism. From the 1950s until the end of the Cold War, government officials directed operations from south Florida military installations such as Homestead Air Force Base, Opa Locka Marine Air Station, and the various U.S. Navy facilities in Key West that affected events in Guatemala, Cuba, Nicaragua, and other nations throughout Latin America.
