b. North Korea
c. Iran
d. Cuba

ANSWER: Cuba
 
U.S. and Cuba will reopen their embassies in Havana and Washington. Fidel Castro's rebels overthrew the US-backed government of Fulgencio Batista on Jan. 1, 1959.Two years later, president Dwight Eisenhower closed the US embassy in Havana on Jan. 3, 1961.After that Kennedy authorized the US-organized invasion of Cuba by a force of Cuban exiles. The attack at the Bay of Pigs failed and reinforced Castro's standing at home and abroad. In October 1962, Washington and Moscow nearly came to nuclear war over Soviet missiles stationed in Cuba.
