Cuba

The animosity between the United States and Cuba goes back all the way to 1961, when the two countries severed their ties. To add a little background, the Cold War is the source of the major feud between the two national powers. Fidel Castro along with some revolutionaries, claimed power in Havana in 1961 and claimed to have a communist political government set in place. Despite speculation to the government, the United States sent recognition to the group. It was not long after being in power…

Cuba is a nation riddled with distress. Due to the nature of the country they have remained economically dependent on another country for much of history. The nation has faced a lot of up and downs and has been politically effected since the cold war. Much of the problem with Cuba’s economy has been their inability to remain economically independent. This has led to larger economic problems within the country, when there are global political issues. For instance Cuba has been reliant upon the…

relations, the United States and Cuba were never really at great odds; the United States by the late 1800s had control over exports from Cuba and owned the country’s sugar industry. During the 1950s, Cuba was a very popular destination place for American tourists, as the 60s approached those numbers would decrease significantly after the country established itself as the first communist state. By being an ally of the Soviets and the powerful dictatorship of Fidel Castro, Cuba posed a threat for…

between the United States and Cuba is a very interesting one. The two countries shared a very healthy and benevolent relationship during the nineteenth century. From around 1868 to 1898, thousands of Cubans of all ages and classes migrated to United States (Perez Jr., 167). This was also the time when presence of the American people and their culture proliferated increasingly in Cuba. The Cuban society was slowly emulating the American culture within itself (Perez Jr., 168). Cuba was the…

Cuba has begun to open its economy to integration, most importantly, with the United States. However, their economy has been suffering due to two major economic shocks, which has resulted in the Cuban communist regime introducing new economic and regulatory reforms. These reforms have spurred a transition to a more market-based economy as the Cuban people have been given more opportunities than ever before to establish ownership over small businesses in approximately 200 categories. However,…

Cuba have many beautiful places to visit. On my last trip to Cuba we decided a Sunday afternoon to go visit Viñales in Pinar del Rio on the Northwest province of the country. I considered that afternoon as one of the most amazing afternoon I have ever had. Tourists see Viñales as one of the most important attraction Cuba has because of the colorful of the vegetation, the differences in the mountains, and the diversity of its animals. In Viñales we could see a variety of colorful vegetation. It…

The year was 1961, tension was stirring and relations between the United States and Cuba were boiling faster than the warm waters of the Caribbean. With Cuba serving as a pawn in a clever game of chess, the U.S.S.R. threatened the most powerful country in the northern hemisphere with nuclear missiles from an island just 90 miles away. These were some of the events transpiring when my parents were born in 1963. Thereon, a once vibrant and prosperous island would face oppression and diminish among…

Throughout the years, Cuba has been thought of only as a Communist country that is closed off to the rest of the world. Although many in the United States may believe that considering our history with Cuba, that is not the case. Cuba is a beautiful island country with large sugar plantations and rich history. Cuba has its goods and bads. For example, sugar accounts for a lot of Cuba’s income, which really helps the economy. The culture in Cuba is very unique to its country. No other country…

Revolution of 1945. Cuba’s Revolution created significant political and “economical struggles due to the dependence of American resources, for instance, sugar” (Robert 657). Prior to the Cuban Revolution, the United States and Cuba coincided with one another mainly because Cuba wanted to introduce the idea of democracy to Latin America; soon discontinued when Fidel Castro, Cuba’s Prime Minister, came into power and followed the Communist Party’s ideas” (Wikipedia). These turn of events caused…
