Yugoslavia and Albania: Cracks in the Iron Curtain
- Although Yugoslavia becomes Communist (Tito) but they weren't aligned with the USSR (refused to be part of Stalins spread of communism and his ideals)
- Albania although having been supported by the USSR does not align either
- Both seen as thorns in the USSRs side
- United States used these two to convince people that they can break ties with USSR
Summary
Although both Yugoslavia and Albania become communist nations, neither align with the Soviet Union, which--to the USSR--is presents Russia with an issue as they are seen as cracks in the iron curtain and may cause a problem in the attempts to spread communism (due to the domino theory.)
