Earth-59

Earth-59 is a reality in the multiverse.

History
Earth-59's history was identical to Earth-95's and real life until at some undetermined point North Korea attacked South Korea and forcefully reabsorbed it back into itself in an attempt reunify all of Korea under the North Korean dictatorship's direction. However, the two halves of Korea did not stay united for long before a second Korean War broke out that reduced both halves of Korea almost to ruin.

In a second divergence, the United States beat the Soviets to outer space with their own satellite named "Voyager" that orbited the Earth prior to Sputnik's successful launch.

In a third and seemingly final divergence, shortly after Fidel Castro took over Cuba following the Cuban Revolution, the USA, rather than see Castro as an enemy and reject him, instead went for the wiser course and opted to embrace Castro's Cuba as an ally. This ensured that Castro would never go on to align himself with the Soviet Union, and the resulting partnership would greatly benefit both countries. It would benefit the rest of Latin America as well, as without Cuba as a Communist country, the USA would never become fearful of similar Communist regimes rising up elsewhere in Latin America, and so would never support various dictators, coups, and dirty wars in places like Chile and Guatemala.
