Skim through the story it should be there or look up the question
Berlin--communism was contained by splitting the city of Berlin between East and West instead of allowing the capital city to fall under the control of the USSR
Korea--the US with the United Nations partitioned Korea into North and South with the North under the influence of the USSR and the South under the influence of the West. The advance of the North was prevented and the partition remained following the Korea War.
Cuba--though Cuba became a communist nation, the US attempted overthrows and potentially an assassination of the communist leader Fidel Castro. When the USSR attempted to put missiles in Cuba, the US was able to negotiate and prevent the missiles.
The groups that would be excluded from this widening of political opportunity would be any group that is denied the right to vote, whether this means they are oppressed or in prison, etc.
