The leader is US supported going back to Theodore's expenditures in Latin America.Did it belong to any nation before being sovereign?

Could be (not an expert on Caribbean geography) but with a name change.Is it a real island, though?

I saw your edit. Maybe a fictional island nation.
Note: I explicitly asked @Ace009 if I could create my own planning thread. I am not plagiarizing as my TL will revolve around the Cold War from 1948 to the 1990s.
This story is going to be an alternate history of the cold war. I have many ideas for the TL but I wanted to get the community's advice on how to realistically get some of these events to happen in the story. I will note some of these events in order) I want to include that I need advice on how to make it happen (but without ww3 starting).
Some of my ideas for the story are:
(1948) An accidental clash between US and Soviet forces during the Berlin Blockade.
(1950-1951) An increased Soviet role in the Korean War with Soviet troops being sent to help NK.
(1962) US bombs/invades Cuba due to the Cuban Missile Crisis and Operation Northwoods being authorized (I'll explain this one later).
(1966) The Soviet Union backs communist rebels in Panama that take over until US invades in 1989.
(1974) Beginning of US military involvement in Iran until the Iranian Revolution.
(1983) Israeli forces clash with Syrian and Soviet troops in Lebanon.
(1983) The USSR starts working on its own Strategic Defense Initiative after Reagan announces it.
(1987) The Soviet SDI facility in Tajikistan is attacked by members of the US funded Mujaheddin. (Tom Clancy reference)
(1991) A Vox (Larry Bond) like war in South Africa
There will be more ideas that come to mid along the way. Also let me know if you have any events you want to add to the story. I will also throw in a few twists to the story. You can also send a name for the story if you wish. I would truly appreciate your help in this.
Sure but I'll change the name and insert someone fictional as leader.Meh. I would suggest using a real island unless you want to end up in ASB-land.
Just a thought for that. Havent reached that part yet. I actually was just considering a bombing or another bay of pigs scenario.How exactly does the US invade Cuba during the CMC without tactical nukes getting used?

Well are you talking about if the US bombs the country in general or just the missile sites. I could see the bombing of the country in general leading to escalation.Bombing will escalate the situation and the Soviet's would retaliate by moving on Berlin.

Interesting idea, but why not keep the island name and insert someone fictional as the leader?Sure but I'll change the name and insert someone fictional as leader.

Just what I was thinking.
I wanted the name to be meaningful. (references) You'll have to wait until I post it today or tomorrow to see what I mean.Interesting idea, but why not keep the island name and insert someone fictional as the leader?
Ah ok.I wanted the name to be meaningful. You'll have to wait until I post it today or tomorrow to see what I mean.
