The allies are Britain, France, Spain, Italy. They were some main allies. And most Eupropean states!

Germany didn't side with the USSR during the Cold War at all. However Cuba did.
The USA were in a way sided by turkey as that is where they had missile bases. The reason they had them in Turkey was that they were closest to the USSR and missiles from there could hit places like Moscow and St Petersburg.

Many countries sided with the US. NATO (North Atlantic treaty organization) was a treaty set up by America to join it and its allies together to defend against the Communist threat. The Us had a few treaties. Their major allies were Britain, France, Spain, Italy

There were a few countries that sided with the USA. As you say cuba didnt, but they wanted too, but the US wouldnt support the revolution that was occuring there so they went to the soviey union.

Here is wiki page of cold war, should find some nice info on there.

Mostly the modern day eu were with America.Germany never sided with Russia.At the time Germany a=was split between America,Britain,France and Russia.Russia controlled one side they controlled the other.this is how the west/east Germany thing started and the berlin wall,

first things first. germany was divided into east and west. east germany being overrun by the russians during ww2 and west by the americans, the british and the french. east became a communist ruled nation and west became a free nation. the cuban question, castro became a marxist due to his personal beliefs and requested support from the soviet union. cuba became a soviet satellite nation.
as far as who sided with the u.s., the list is long. basically any nation that wasn't controlled by the russians, were friendly with the u.s. that included great britain, west germany, france, all of nato, australia, japan, south korea, canada, mexico, brazil, new zealand, south africa, israel, and at one time iran and iraq. there are several others but i didn't want this answer to go on forever.

Germany was split into two separate countries, like Korea. In the case of Germany, it was the German Democratic Republic (East Germany, a communist country ruled with an iron fist by Soviet puppets) and Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany, a capitalist country that started out being ruled by a joint American, British, and French triumvirate) East Germany didn't so much "side" with the Soviets (USSR) as it did parrot the Soviets.

Cuba remained a "client" state of the USSR until the USSR dissolved, and after that enjoyed an artificially high price of Cuban sugar until the Russians could no longer afford to "prop up" Cuban sugar.

The USSR had other clients, but you asked about America's "side" of the Cold War. The Nations of NATO were probably the most important ones (see link) but others included North Vietnam (when there was one) North Korea, nearly all of the UK's former colonies (not South Africa so much, but Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc) much of South America, and,of course, Israel.

The Cold War is confusing, because some of the countries no longer exist, others changed "sides" and still others tried to remain neutral, which was hard because of America's "with us, or against us" policies.

Any state that wasn't communist probably sided with the USA.
