Bay of Pigs Invasion

Spy vs. Spy is a completely wordless comic strip created by a Cuban cartoonist Antonio Prohias, and first published by Mad magazine in 1961. Prohias has fled to the United States days before the last of the free press in Cuba fell under the regime of Fidel Castro. Ironically, the very person who has driven the cartoonist from his own country has given him an inspiration for one of the greatest projects of his life. In Cuba anyone who opposed Castro was considered a spy, and that’s what Prohias…

Ambitious leaders Throughout history there have always been leaders with strong ambitions and some of their ambitions were worth the price and the others were not. For people like Cesar Chavez, who was able to fulfill his ambition, the price was worth it because it helped a lot of people. On the other hand, people like Che Guevara and Robert E. Lee’s ambitions were not worth the price because it resulted in not being able to fulfill those ambitions. Guevara was killed and Lee lost the war.…

The disagreement in how Che Guevara should be remembered somewhat lies in the ignorance of Che’s political existence in history. Hardt, Rivera-Perez, and Calles- Santillana argue that “Che’s charismatic influence could be rendered useless by revealing large gaps in his life ‘between what he tried to do and what he actually accomplished” (359). This concept is one that is often ignored in pop culture. It is forgotten that Guevara could have influenced history in more than one way. For example,…

Given the Cuban history on the prohibition of not just music but literally everything that comes in the way of the ruling of the two leaders of the country since the Cuban Revolution of 1959, the brothers Fidel and Raul Castro, few scholars got interested in the current situation in Cuba when it comes to the reggaeton. Although scholars are not optimists that Cuba can be the next Puerto Rico when it comes to reggaeton or that reggaeton will ever become part of the Cuban culture as it happened…

It is not accurate to state that the Cuban Revolution was the event that turned Che into a great leader. In fact, the best way to approach his greatness is by Collins´ flywheel effect, which states that with persistent pushing, in a consistent direction, over a prolonged period of time, the flywheel would build momentum, eventually hitting a point of breakthrough. It was Che 's life experiences, every interaction with the right people, and the influence of each one of his mentors, what pushed…

If I were president at the time of The Bay of Pigs, this is what I would've done. I would've given the exiles more weapons and more protection because the exiles didn't have the equipment to fight the Cuban military. I also would've sent the U.S. military to Cuba to support the exiles because the U.S. retreated after they let the exiles off of he ships which made the U.S. and Kennedy look bad.. The exiles should've had more supplies than what they were given to fight with. Therefore, they needed…
